i just use a prestige, and it works well for me. but also keep in mind that i live in a tiny town in the country, so it might not work as well for somone in a huge city, if thats where your from

Local shop said they'd give me all that **** in one package for $500 installed. Not too bad, but you're best bet is to call around.

for everything you want itll probably be atleast 350 or 400... remote start is the part that makes it so expensive.

im in the same boat you are... i came across this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...38655

Clifford Matrix RS3 Security System , has everything you are asking for and by a very reputable company... the only thing is, its Factory Refurbished so i don't really know if its risky or not

you can avoid getting scammed by looking at their feedback, ive bought crap off ebay for the past 4+ years and i havent been scammed yet... although i have been scammed by BUYERS using fake CCs

Now a days, there truly arent alarms that are that bad. Just bad installers. My recommendations, anything made by DEI. Like Clifford, Viper, Avital, even Python or Rattler. Just make sure you take it to a reputable install shop.

You can get one of them THOR alarms off eBay for pretty cheap. And get in contact with me, and I'll guide you through the install so you can save yourself the money
