Crimestopper SP-502 2-Way LCD Paging Combo Alarm, Keyless Entry and Remote Start System with Rechargeable Remote

I installed this in my 94 Camaro with a manual transmission about 8 months ago and it has been working great.Pros:Fairly simple installation.It works safely with manual transmissions.Information sent back to the 2-way remote is very useful when starting your car if you don't have direct line of sight.The dome light output on my system was non functional when I received it. I sent it in and it was fixed at no cost.Cons:The range on the 2-way remote is fairly good, but I believe it falls short of the advertised 3,000 feet. I would rate it at about half that.The 1-way remote has very limited range and is worthless for anything other than unlocking the doors from about 25 feet away.You need to buy quite a few relays to use all the features. I needed two for the doors, one for the dome light, and one for the trunk release.Manual transmission mode operation:The manual transmission mode, when activated, requires you to have the vehicle running, step on the brake, set the parking brake, and then turn the ignition off. Once you turn the ignition off, the remote start system keeps the vehicle running until the drivers door is opened and closed (indicating driver exited). The system will turn the car off after two seconds. You will then be able to remote start the vehicle as long as the drivers door has not opened.I gave it 4 stars because of the amount of extra relays needed for installation. Overall it is a great system for the price.

Works great, awsome alarm system.

Two way remote transmitter works fine for penetrating residential construction, not so good with commercial construction. This is odd because the Crimestopper system it replaced was 7 years old and transmitter range was better. Install might be tough without prior experience with electronics. This model works fine to start a diesel truck (I used wait to start circuit). I really like Crimestopper alarms/remote starts. You can spend a lot more money on the higher tier brands and get a lesser product. Note that, in the instructions, the tach wire is identified as White/Red. In actuality the tach wire on the 12 pin harness was Red/White - at least on the unit I received.

This is my second remote start from Crimestopper, and it won't be my last! I love the option of getting into a warm car in the winter, and a cool car in the summer! Customer service from the company has been great! I love the feature of the 2 way remote, I always know if it's started or not. The range is better than expected, several blocks away. Defiantly not for beginners. It takes the whole day and a comprehensive wiring diagram of your vehicle. Possibly some resistors and maybe multiple relays to make everything work as intended. Most anything 2000 and newer will need an immobilizer bypass module. In the end, it's worth all the headache and frustration that comes with a massive wiring project like this.

Crimestopper has many models to choose from and have lots on wire diagrams on the internet for support.I find the remotes are solid and work very well. Both one way and two way remotesThe hook up of wires is not bad if you know electrical relays and battery voltage and reading a meter.The more difficult part is getting past the key chips and finding a unit to bypass the key.It’s not easy for the do it yourself unless you buy a plug n play unit.Lessco electronics has a great hook up selection on eBay, as well as good videos on YouTube. I learned a lot there.

I have installed a few SP-502 alarms in vehicles and the instructions are good and to the point. This was the first time that I installed one with the Evo-All and there were some challenges to overcome, but the alarm and remote start now works great on this truck. However please keep in mind that this is not for the faint of heart. There are a lot of wires to install to make this work. If you are afraid of soldering and tearing your dash apart, have a shop install the alarm for you.

By being a person involve in electronics was a pretty simple job to installaso the installation book is really helpfull well explainedeasy to configabout the range of the Remote wellit gives me the 1km or so in open area (no obstacles) with a single line of signalaround 300m in buidings with no very thick wallsand 120m with really thick wallsi can be at the mall 3-4 leves up from my car and still signalcrurchs well, no soo good, way too thick wallsbattery longs about 3 to 5 weeks depending the use but it charges in half of hour so u can charget going to workbut over all a good alarm easy to uea an configure

Truly universal alarm. Super nice to have remote start and alarm combined. Only has one hit sensor so it only detects hits accurately on the side of the car that you install it. Range on non-screen remote is limited but the remote with screen is definitely on the big side (would not recommend using any other keychain alongside it). Depending on the car there are a few extra parts needed but besides that it is a great addition/replacement for basic OEM alarms. Installation is definitely not something for non-technical users.
