Alarm help
I need help finding an alarm that will work best for me. I recently had my sound system stolen outta my car along with a case of cds packed as full as possible. I dont know anything about alarms I just know I do not want this to happen agian. Nothing was broken and the car was locked so Im kinda looking towards something you touch and it starts giving off warrnings letting you know its got an alarm. I hate to have to do this on a car that is stock but I dont have much of a choice right now cause it sucks not being able to feel like your car is safe right outside your window so any advise other than a gun would be very much appreciated.

i don't think you are going to install it yourself....just hit up circuit city or some good shop and look into either viper or clifford
both are damn good alarms, and while u at it get a remote start for those cold mornings
look to spend around $200-300 installed

viper is made by dei, same company that makes clifford and black widow, get a clifford same thing as a viper, just as good, and trust me, they're worth it.

i use to work for best buy ... ask them about the proxy sensor ... it cherps when some thing gets near. its usually for converts when they leave the top down. its about 30 bucks extra.

How about those that sell in ebay for less than $50. (like the link above) What do you guys think of it? Is it a waste of money?

I work at bestbuy and I can tell you it's well worth going there to get the alarm. The install is part of the price of the alarm. If you have the money ($500) go with the viper 791 its a two-way alarm so if it goes off the remote will let you know up to a 1/4 of a mile away.

Im actually looking at the viper alarms at best buy but i still really hate to do it but i have to now and also i really dont have the time to run all over since im car shopping also for our other car which looks like its gonna be a lancer right now but what ever it is its getting an alarm also so some place like best buy where i can get it and they install it is great and if they **** up its their fault
