I'm looking to get an alarm, asap, but i'm going to be doing a swap into my Sol sometime within the next few months. Will I be ok getting the alarm now with my stock motor, meaning, will anything have to be reinstalled/rewired when the new motor is put in.

- was in the market for an alarm so i've been reading/researching ALOT over the past month. finally decided on a prestige aps-510a ($69.99) has option to add remote start, glass mic, radar proximity sensor etc. overall good alarm for the price. get a backup battery siren (dei 515R $45.00). no use of a backup battery if you can't hear the siren huh? also no need for a glass mic if you get a radar proximity sensor. the proximity senses movement....like someone breaking your window, so don't waste dough on a glass mic just get the proximity ($19.99).

- prestige/audiovox/code are good alarms for the money, not too cheap - not too expensive. when deciding on an alarm you have to think about what options you want.

- some webpages that will help you out if you plan to do the install yourself.
