2 cars 2 alarms 1 remote

I just got a second car and was wondering if they make alarms with remotes which can operate 2 vehicles. I don't like having a keychain with 2 remotes.

Yes, my Viper sucks monkey balls. My Compustar walks all over the Viper. Actually, it's a Matrix - made by the same people, DE.

My compustar 2-way performs way better - through concrete walls and distance is unbelievable. Costco on Brighton Avenue, parked in the underground lot, I'm clear on the other side of the building where the produce is. I can turn the alarm off and on without holding the remote to my chin or any other body part.

The Matrix remote is a dumb design. The alarm can control up to 4 cars, but the button to do this is in a really dumb place. I'm always finding it pressed accidentally. Not the case with the Compustar. They must have researched this problem of unwanted button activation. Their remote design, works.

I'm such a Compustar fanboy......... thing is, I'm not alone.

I agree with pops^
I love my Compustar and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Most higher quality alarms usually will do dual car operation

I would recommend the Compustars also

Seems to be the go to brand for car alarms locally. Rock solid performance, reliability and looks.
