 Good Do-it-yourself alarmJan 30, 2006
By Homer123

I've put in plenty of alarms and starters, and this one compares with many of the higher price units. The unit came with decent instructions (I'd suggest checking their website for any changes to the printed version), and:
- 2 remotes (plastic, kinda small, but nice)
- plenty of outputs to arm/disarm factory alarms
- TONS of options to configure for your car / prefs
- voltage checking (tach-less start)
what you might need is...
- longer wires... those included are rather short
- a better programming button (about $1.00 at radio shack)
- a switch to de-activate the system (not included???)
- a mounting bracket for the hood-pin switch (unless you are lucky enough to have a place to mount it directly without drilling into something important.
- and, tolerant neighbors, the programming on this is a little goofy, and involves a decent amount of horn honking (Alert refers to these as "Chirps")
All in all, a good starter / alarm for the $$ / minus 1 star for short wires and not including a switch.

 Alert 450RFeb 10, 2009
By L. Paul
Found this in my past purchases history, but could not find it being sold any longer by Amazon, but here goes anyway. Purchased this product in late Dec. 08, had it installed by a company that installs remote starters, alarms, car stereos, etc. 3 days later, one of the 2 remote key fobs shot craps, was told over the phone by a rep. from the company handling warranty work for Alert that "no problem" we'll send you a new one. Do you want the old one back? "No, throw it away, that's what we'll just do with it" That was a month ago, Im still waiting, meanwhile, the other key fob is retiring from service as I write this. Keep this in mind when purchasing anything from this company. The owner of the alarm company also told me that Alert products are made by Audiovox, keep that in mind also.

Way too complex. Need a skilled mechanic to install.Jan 02, 2011
By Stacy Richard
The website just did not give enough information and made this look like you just plug it into the lighter socket and that was all. As soon as I got it and saw all the wires I knew I would have to return it. Just showed it to my mechanic and he said it would take about 6 hours and cost 10 times what I paid for just the device. May work well when installed, but I did not even get that far and sent it back.
