    Car alarms, need suggestions. Any help is appreciated.

    Ok. First off, I am looking into a car alarm. Second I want it to do the basic unlock/lock the doors and the trunk(isn't necessary though). Also, of course I want the alarm part. I just need some suggestions on what is best for my $buck$ and would be simplest to install. Thanks for the help guyz.

    alarm

    dude, they are all the same...
    ease of installation? you need basic sodering and wiring skill and no color blindness.

    the 30 dollar ebay one for easiest install and lease sodering adn least option, works just fine. If you want fancy with motion, shock, and misc sensor, then buy viper or bmwalarms, etc. When you get fancy people have preferences, but personally I cant stand the viper alarm key remote.. look hedious

      Thanks for being an asshole about the whole quesiton. I was just asking a simple question, no need to become a d-bag about it. I have heard of the $30 ebay kit, I know how easy it is to install. I was looking for something that also has an alarm motion/shock/sensor like you were takling about. But I was looking for something that would save my wallet and not break me. Unlike the Viper systems would.

          would it be easy to install a dual microwave sensor to your kit?

                      Are you attempting to prevent your car from being stolen or do you want to know if someone is breaking into it?

                      The only thing that I dont like about car alarms is that once they are triggered, its not like people are going to come running from out of the woodwork to see what's going on. Most people will say, "Oh, that's someone's annoying car alarm!"

                      The cheapest and most effective solution for me was installing a flashing light on the dash and a starter kill switch. Sometimes it can be wired to the headlight switch or like in my case, I wired it to the child safety lock button on the center console.

                        Exactly why I need luke to help me take out an overly complicated, old, and sensitive viper unit from my car.

                              If worse comes to worse, you can always get one of those $79 self contained alarm systems with a simple 2-wire hookup.
