i can get you an autopage 2 way paging system pretty reasonable....maybe a couple hundred or so at most.

Yeah? That would be badass of you. As long as it's no hassle and as long as it won't cause you any trouble. I'd hate to be the cause for you being refused or disallowed to sell a product.

i have installed numerous autopage and scytek products. autopage by far has higher quality. the 2-way remotes are much better built. the AAA battery in them last much longer compared to a scytek unit. (5-6 months vs 2-3 weeks). i know, i have one installed in my car. i tossed the 2-way remote aside because i had to keep a pack of AAA batteries in my car for when the remote died.

so my advice, from alot of experience with both products, go with autopage.

My advice call your insurance company and put a rider on all your car audio and **** the alarm. just like you said if they want it they will take it. Insurance > Alarm. and just so know 20k audio rider only cost me 8 bucks a month.

Yeah, I checked out their site and watched a few youtube vids of them. They look like a quality product.

So around $100 a year. That's not too shabby. I wonder if State Farm will include the system for a decent price. Or if they will include car audio at all.

But yeah, I know of at least a half dozen people that had their vehicles busted into or stolen. Didn't make a difference that they had alarms. But at least it gave them a heads up it was being busted into with the 2-way. I'm sure it's still a deterrent to some but on the other hand just a minor obstacle to others.

^ I was just going to suggest the same thing

... especially when even with an alarm, if they break into it and still steal all you've got then without the rider the insurance won't pay a dime towards all your extra goodies... Only replace with bone stock.

That depends on how your insurance covers installed equipment. I had a break in a few years back, lost my sub box, amps, head unit and a satellite controller (they left the receiver

). All I needed to show were receipts and got the newer replacements of the same line. The store I bought everything from had receipts readily available on file on their computer. Insurance read that it was covered when bolted in or electrically wired to the car.

Hey, I was thinkin' might as well just forget it. Thanks for the offer but I don't even trust anyone around here to hook it up anyway. For what they want to hook it up? Screw that. And there's no way I'd install it properly. I'd most likely make a mess of it. Thanks again.
