The factory system is good enough to prevent the average theif. (or the pro theif ie repo man) If they don't have a tow truck. DO NOT get a remote start system they make your car cake to get. Also if someone wants the car they will get it. If you want an alarm to prevent vandalism/smash and grab I can understand however like was mention do you pay attention to car alarms anymore? Also as a former repoman trust me noone gives a second look when you back up to a car and take it with the alarm going off. Heck I've done it in peoples backyard in the middle of the night and had no issues about it.
baseball bat by the door and park close to your window.
if you want an actual alarm on top of your Ford PATS security, just pick up a Viper or Python or whatever DEI is calling their alarms now. They won't cost a ton and you'll be able to hear when the car is being messed with.
Just don't make it too sensitive. Every time thru the mall parking garage I set off 50 car alarms with my exhaust. Now 50 people go back to their cars wondering who 'messed with their ride' when it makes that different disarm beep cause they thought the sens knob should be jacked to the right.
