Just curious to know if anyone has the new Viper 480xv?

and what is so different between it and the 791xv?

I read and it didn't really explain the difference. atleast in a dumb enough way for me to tell. other then the THACHAM approved stuff.

well, i installed a 791 on my car, so here are the differnces i see.

1. looks like a new type of sensor which is good
2. it comes with the battery backup siren instead of just the regular one
3. it comes with two remotes instead of just one
4. based on the pic, it looks like they changed the antenna which is good because the one for the 791 tends to die resulting in replacing it with another crappy one.

I have not had any problems with my antenna.

my range has decreased since i got it, but other than that mine is fine so far. i've heard of other people having problems with the antenna and having to buy a replacement.

My brother had a Viper 79x series alarm in his civic, but had to get rid of it after about 5 months, because the controller kept crapping out on him and he was getting problems with it going off randomly, not locking the doors and other such things.

He ended up buying a Compustar 2W900FM-AS (http://www.compustar.com/security_with_remote_start.htm)

and a year later, has had no problems...
