RSA2900F $550 MSRP

http://www.compustar.org/security_with_remote_start.htm
Please note the 2W900FM-AS MSRP Unkown at this time

By reading Scosches article they make it sound like THEY made this alarm...

After just purchasing a CompUStar and seeing such a low end brand like Scosche have the same dang thing Im a little hot...

Thoughts? Opinions? Anyone know whats up with this?

Im going to E Mail both companies and ask whats up...

basically I lose all respect for scosche when I see their spinner sub grille on pimp my ride...


anyways I bought a compustar too, in fact that same one, I think mine was $420 authorized, so it would be $700 msrp, thats not that much of a difference. and plus mine is from a dealer so it has to be marked up, so its probably a lot less.

Yeah, But Im guessing that Compustar is selling this alarm system to them or something along that line...

I will be emailing both companies today...

I did get an official response from Compustar yesterday.

I will post it when I get back home.

The long and the short of it is:

Compustar is making this alarm for Scosche. Scosche is claiming to be the ones developing it, when they are not. Furthermore the people at Compustar didnt see Scosches page until I told them about it, they didnt seem exactly happy.

ya i hate it when people brag up there products like oh this is top of the line sh!t. my salesmen for scosche is such a dumbass i want just beat his ass. they are a very bad company to work with. i have yet to recieve a full order there is always oh we were out and i dont here about it till after i get some stuff or i forgot to pack it or something like that. i hate thier amps and i got suckered into buying 6 of those and i wont even sell them to a customer cause they are crap. wires are alright if they would cost less it would be fine. not a very good company. tsunami is alot better. im a dealer for them
