Did the Galant 2000 ES come with a remote key?/car alarms

[galantebeige]

Hi,
I should have asked this a while ago.
I bought my car used and only got 2 keys, none remote.
Is my car capable of remote? (Does it have the electronics inside somewhere)?
If it is, I think I will start looking for one!

yea the 2k ES should have came with a remote. but i suggest instead of looking for a remote, you might want to invest in maybe an alarm with a keyless entry feature. my car came with the remote and personally i odn't use it just because my alarm has keyless entry.

Hi Pinoyesv6!
Any recomendations?
I just happened to read a few articles were the remote had problems with the Galant....

i have a 2000 es and mine didnt come with a remote.. i got it straight off the lot.. i went back a year or two later and asked them about it and they said the car didnt come factory with one so they couldnt put one in.. i have a crime stoppers alarm.. it has keyless entry and remote start.. i really like it..

I like any thing from DEI, they always seem good to me

but i have also heard the alarm brand that low sittin 8g is a good brand and is really good on the price

[pinoyesv6]

same here. im a big fan of DEI. many of their security systems are upgradable so you can start off with a basic system and add stuff later on if you feel the need.

how much should I expect to pay for a decent start up system (or at what price range should I aim to get something basic but solid/good), be it from DEI or others?

my basic system ran about 300 bucks installed. it pretty much was just keyless entry, door protection, shock proteciton, and starter kill. all i had was just a simple 1 way remote too. but yea that was almost 5 years ago so prices has gone down for systems like mine.

That sounds like a lot of protection!
I called my insurance agent today, ALLSTATE, and asked if I would get a discount for installing a car alarm in my car.
She said no... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif but she has discounts for the house.... :?

Anyways, I have been looking at the DEI brand on the Internet, and it really seems to be very good stuff. They have all this varieties though: Hornet, Pithon, Viper, Valet... and I got a little lost and all those picks...I'm going tp have to read up on car alarms for this one.

[pinoyesv6]

many of the alarms within the DEI line are the same. they just have different brands to them.

Hey I know I dont have an 8th gen but I got a crimestopper alarm off ebay for about $140.00 came with just about everything. Remote start, keyless entry, starter dissable, 2way LCD pager, extra sidekick remote, and a hell of a lot of other things, it retails for about $300-$400 the only thing that I don't like about it is that the LCD pagers battery dies every 2-3 weeks, but thats not to much of a problem considering how much I use it. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif ( I did the installation myself though and it wasn't to difficult as long as you have a basic understanding.)

Heres the company and alarm I bought.

Well, after some time surfing around I think I am interested in the following:
The DEI Hornet 553T Car Alarm.
I am going to go for a DEI, that's for sure! :wink: I like the fact that this one has remote start for warming/cooling, keyless entry, and code hopping, my main desires.

I was wondering if anybody would like to offer their comments on this model, if there is any other comparable/updated and/or better, any comments are appreciated!

(if for example for 10 bucks more I get tons more of features then I would go for that...
