Thanks guys !

i used to have a Clifford Matrix RSX starter/alarm. the starter part of it would only work in an auto. now i have a Compustar PRO (i'm not sure if you guys get that in the U.S.) and has 4 or 5 times better range, no jokes! i can be 15 mins of walking distance and start my car or check the temperature or whatever.. the RSX module (not sure if it has the same range as the 50.5x) is that i can have my car within visual range (about 80 yards) and still couldn't pick up any signal from the remote most of the time.

what i hated the most about the Clifford units was their settings could only be programmed when you're in the car (by hitting the program button manually under the dash) but with the Compustar models, everything can be programmed from the remote which makes things waaay easier.
