I have a "mile" range Viper SST 2 way, and it does what it says...it will go UP TO a mile. Things you need to be aware of is that you'll have buildings and other sources of interference to deal with when using it. The smart start for the viper is an idea too and the app can be downloaded to your iphone or ipod touch for free. Disadvantage is it's an extra part that you need to purchase, plus an annual fee, and if you have the ipod touch and not an iphone, then you're limted by wifi connection (iphone is limited by cell phone reception). Compustars are amazing and from my understanding (I have a friend who installs them all the time) they truely do work to the range that they are stated (even with buildings in the way). It's all up to you though, if you're going to be near the vehicle at all times then a Viper, Clifford, or Python (all made by DEI) would work just fine. Just my opinion
