Don't know about the EVC II setup in the Daks, but the CC factory alarm
in the Dodge Viper is a constantly changing one. The prob. is that just
about any idiot with access to the factory manual can "re-sync" the
transmitter with the car, so its not much good. I had heard that both
the Clifford and Viper after market alarms were the same (i.e. there was
a "re-sync" procedure that could be used without first gaining access to
the car, in case your transmitter battery went dead)...

If that is the case, I would trust those factory alarms about, well,
none.
Alarms should be run by an algorithm, with constantly changing codes.
To
steal you truck/car the way that factory system is set up is REAL easy.
All
you have to do is clone the transmitter, just like a cell phone, and
you're
in. I believe that alarms, like sound systems, should be left to the
aftermarket becuase of cost and quality.

p.s. I like to rev. my engine in parking lots to see how many alarms I
can set
off. It's fun! Only found two at school that I can set off, though.
