Car Alarm

[Mustang98GTMI]

Which alarm is the best?
I have a 98GT 5 speed, not looking for remote start, just alarm with shock sensor, trunk popper and keyless entry.

Thanks in advanced.

i had a viper alarm system on my camaro. I have to say that i really liked it. But when you think about it a alarm is not goign to stop people. I had one and they stole my 2,000 in dash DVD/TV and get this they took the alarm system too. LOL and this was in the school parking lot. point being....... do not bother just get some stickers a faslhing led and hide your stuff from the view of others.

WHAT DONT BOTHER!!!! I would say get an alarm for sure, just make sure whoever installs it is not retarded. To be blunt about it, there is like one company that has a monopoly over the whole car alarm business, I want to say the name of the main company is DEI, but I am not sure, anyway they own black widow, viper, clifford and all the other good ones. I pitched in the extra money when I got mine, and got a 2 way alarm, that way when my alarm goes off, I get a little message on my set of keys that says someone hit the front door, or the trunk is open, whatever it is you get the point. Something like this one.... http://www.clifford.com/matrix/responder/

The cost of installation will be ridiculous, I paid something like $400 bucks, but that was with an auto start too, and an interior motion sensor ( so I can leave the top down, and if someone sticks there dirty hands in my car, my alarm will go off).

If you are protecting some serious stuff, then get a backup battery for the car alarm, so that if a theif pops the hood and disconects the battery within the first 30 seconds, then your alarm will still be going off. Also make sure that you tell the installers to put the alarm "brain" in an odd place, where nobody will find it, not just under the driver side dash.
