so they told me like a month ago that my car was being built today as 3-14-05 and today they called me and told me my car is done and being shipping. IM SO EXCITED

05- Chevy Cobalt LS coupe (1SB sports package) RALLY YELLOW

 

Dammm Now If I Can Only Have The Same Luck!

 

when did u order yours dude?

 

We don’t have any yellow Cobalts on the site as of yet. Can’t wait to see your pics!
BDW, Welcome bro

 

the second day im getting it im installing the system, 10% tint is going on and also my viper alarm system

 

IF I remember correctly... The order was put in the first week of Janurary!


and as of last week THE ONLY THING I FIIINNAAALLLYY heard was my car would be built sometime in the week of March 28th.

 

congrats man. I hope to get a phone call in the morning to come sign some papers. I'll be sleeping light tonight.

 

It has an alarm system on it already....

 

yes i know it does but does it have an viper alarm....haha
i bought this alarm for like 500bucks, so its one of the best alarms out...

 

Great another car blasting "Protected by Viper stand back" all night cause the owner didn't have the motion sensors setup right and the wind keeps setting them off. Or kids keep setting them off cause they can.

At this point when a car alarm goes off I am pretty sure everyone just hopes the theif hurries up so we don't have to continue hearing it go off.

Too many false alarms have pretty much ruined any added value a car alarm might of had.

 

zinner you would put an alarm on your car too if u had what i had in my car. plus im having it professionally installed, so it wont be wrong.

 

I like going to the mall or the nearest college campus parking lot to listen to the countless alarms going off with nobody doing anything about them.

Alarms have become so mundane in the last few years that nobody even pays attention to them.

The funny thing is that all of them do essentially the same thing, whether it's factory or "Viper." I want one that emits a noxious cloud of green smoke or perhaps an electric shock to anyone within 15 feet. Then it would actually be worth $500.

Until then my best theft deterrent will be a factory stereo.

Cobalt comes with a factory alarm. What else can a viper alarm do?

Don't you have to disable the factory alarm system when you add an aftermarket system ?

It's going to be tough enough owning a first model year vehicle let alone beta testing all the alarm systems out there that where designed before the cobalt was even released.

 

I had a Clifford alarm years ago that would page you if your car was getting broken into. Yes, I said page.

We also had a Trailblazer that would roll down the windows every time you armed the Viper alarm they had on it. It also did something screwey with the heated seats, but we never did figure it out.

I can only imagine the humor of arming your car alarm only to have it roll down the windows. I had looked at ones alarm system once and those things can do everything (including rolling down windows). The more fuctions they can perform the more places they can mess up.

The electrical systems are computer controlled and the BCM's are pretty complex. The chances of any aftermarket system integrating 100% into a newer car has to be pretty sketchy. I know when I put my stereo into my S10, the professional gave me the wrong kit (harness and mounting) for my truck (even tho it said S10 98 and up) in reality GM had changed the whole stereo system and I had to get a Saturn kit to actually get it to install right. And when I was down there was still about 5-10 wires that factory stereo used that the aftermarket one didn't even touch. Things like the dimmer and speed sensor. All things the aftermarket didn't support.

How can you expect an expert installer to get it right when even the companies that make the kits and supposedly do the engineering can't get it right.

 

ok first my viper alarm is the paging one. second i called up all the alarm places near by and they said they would do it without a problem. so i dont kow what u guys are talking about but its possible and no it wont go off when i dont want it to unless someone trys to touch it or what not.

my alarm can roll down the windows also, and u can buy different relays to make it do other things such as open doors, control the sunroof, and even the volume on ur radio can be adjusted....

 

Let us know how it works out when you get it installed.

 

i surely will let u know

 

i ordered the exact same car, cant wait for mine to come in. Should be in sometime next week, i ordered it on 3/15 i am getting really antsy about getting it, i test drove one and i loved it even though it was an automatic
