Alarm & DIC Help

[Boss3854]

Hey guys, new member here. Just picked up a 2004 Escalade this past weekend. Looking to get an alarm and remote start put in the truck this coming weekend and the place is running a special on Compustar systems.

My question is, will I lose all my DIC functions if I put an alarm/start on my car, such as perimeter lighting, saved seating, etc. I really like those features and don't want to lose them. But on the other hand, I need a better alarm and a remote start would be nice for the freezing Boston winters.

Any success in getting the two systems to interact and work together?

should, depending on which model you get. You can even get some to open windows, open sunroof,etc...go visit several local audio shops, see what they have to offer. Remote starts are VERY popular this time of year in your neck of the woods.
But to answer, yes, you can keep all your presets.

An aftermarket rs alarm system will not interfere with the DIC or any other function in the vehicle when installed properly. Like stated above, you can add modules to control power windows and sunroof, as well as use the aux channels on the alarm to activate your heated seats and rear window defrost/heated mirrors.
Welcome to the site, btw

Thank you guys, those were exactly the answers I was looking for! I need an alarm ASAP, as I was awoken Saturday at 4:30AM to 2 little punks breaking into my tenant's brand new M3 sedan. They ripped the friggin' spoiler off the back of it. I'm guessing we'll see it on a Honda shortly....
