I was just about to get a Viper 790 Paging alarm for my 2002 Magna VRX, but the guys at the car shop said because it has a factory alarm it won't work! :(

Has anyone got any info on the factory alarm on the magna's? I have the one with remote boot release, and the alarm is jus the horn.

man i got a VRX and i have an auto watch duel stage
works well ********NOW**********
it works on movement and shock

and its hooked up to my factory shitty piece of shit alarm that didnt work anyway!!!!!

i have both keypads still
i can use the auto watch one to set the alarm....

and the factory one still lets me lock/unlock and do the boot to!

crap thats what they said I might have to do!

Have two remotes :(

Man i can't believe there's no way to override the factory alarm.. grrr :evil:

SiNERGY you got a magna mate ? i thought you had that turbo lancer. I remember when i posted on the old exclusive auto forums that i was getting rid of my lancer and getting a magna they called it an old persons car and family car :lol:

hehee good on ya

i didnt bother arguing with ripping the factory one out!!
knowing stupid mitsubishi it would take 5 weeks to rip it out and cause the engine to **** up?????somehow............

mitsubishi are so stupid!!!!!!!!!!
i dont think they use ANY common sence!!

anyway
you still dont have to use the factory keypad!
you dont need it!!
its all programed in the other keypad!
well it is in mine!!
i just keep both anyway,
good point im gonna take my factory one off, i dont need it!!

with mine you can programe it to do whatever
(open boot, lock driver door, lock all doors, boot)

so you only need the one keypad

?? i wouldn't have said that! I've always like the Magna's!

I still have the lancer though :P

All solved, new alarm installed :)

I ended up getting the Viper Responder Paging Unit, it's very good :)
It's a two way paging system, and had no probs overriding the existing alarm/central locking system.

I love my auto watch blue alarm... So funky and easy to use, sure its just pressing a button but its just tooo cool.
