Good luck finding a decent 2 way with installation for under $200. My best advice is for the Python 881xp. It's just like the Viper one you'll see at "Best" Buy that has the display on it. Directed makes them all whether it be the Viper, Python, Hornet etc. so 2-way with the display is essentially all the same. I would suggest going to any Directed dealer and having them install it. Now that includes remote start, and im sure the dealers will be more than happy to leave the remote start feature neutral if thats what you want. Expect to pay right around $500 for that. And if your cars 96ish and up you may be looking at bypass pieces a modules to bypass factory options. Best of luck.

What I meant by 150 to 200 is just for the alarm. I found a lot of what appears like good alarms for around that price. The Viper 791XV, a good Clifford. I found a website Nextag.com that is has reviews but not enough. There were some complaints about the pager for the Viper and no reviews for the Clifford. There is another that I keep seeing its called Ultra Start the model I am looking at is the 4560. It seems like a good system. I found the Directed site for the Python alarms. What makes them different than other brands? I found a ton of off brands on ebay with the same and more features for a fraction of the cost. Let me know..........

I have the audiovox 996A LCD remote start, alarm, shock sensor, 2 way page, LED. Installed it two weekends ago. Took about 3 hrs with the schematics. If you are going to install it, it will run you around 150$ shipped. Clifford are also good, but expensive. I would go with the audiovox, but only the LCD one.

Don't no what yr 5.0 you have, but if you have a 94 or 95, the back of the clock is a good spot to mount the LED.
