i have had great success with crimestopper brand. will you be doing the install, or having someone else do it? just remember that no matter which brand you get it is only as good as the install. there are a lot of awesome features available for these units today.

I love my code alarm. I allows you to keep your key pad access.

I love the Ford remote start/alarm. This system is all plug and play, not cutting into the wiring.

I'm still on the fence with this one. How easy is it would close to anyone install it or dealer mostly. If I can install i'd get it.

It isn't horrible but. If you don't know how to use a meter or test light I wouldn't attempt. I have installed elevator controllers and was more nervous about putting in my alarm.
