    i wish i could say price is no issue, however it kinda is, ideally i would like to spend no more then 1k on this. seems outrageous for a key, but the price of a new viper alarm installed is going to be around 3-4 hundred.

    i know this isnt a viper alarm, however there is no doubt that this alarm is better then what i have at the moment. ideally that would leave me with maybe 600..?

    i dont think thats too much of a stretch for a key.

    keep in mind, im probly going to be holding on to his car for quite some time. already looking at buying a whole new engine/trans and top swapping what is in there.

    i guess my real question is... HOW can i make this work?

    I wish I could tell you how you could do it, but I wouldn't know where to start. I would check with locksmiths that can re-key cars and go from there. The biggest problem you run into is computer chip matching that is now in most keys. But if you have deep pockets I am sure someone can do this for you.

    Good Luck
