I have a Viper system on my Ram. The Yukon has a Bulldog unit. Both work very well. I've put Bulldog remotes on several cruisers with no problems.

I'm partial to a Horn/Lights system on a real Motorola radio, myself.

What are you using to control it SlimBob? Or are you just throwing the idea out there.

Anything but Bulldog, they are famous for acting up after a year and trying to start your car while it's running, even while driving. They also will turn on accys (heater, lights) at random. I've seen it in mulitple units on mulitple cars.

I've had a bulldog RS1200E for a year & a half with no problems. I also have the Aux Input connected to the alarm output of the CDM so I can call alert the radio with MDC1200 or QC-II and start my truck :)

Me: "What exactly is a 900Mhz UHF CB?"
Them: "A very nice CB at 900Mhz speed!"
