An alarm is only as good as it's installed. You can have the lowest end pos alarm work better than a high end name brand alarm. It all depends on the install.

manual kill switches for your fuel pump and starter work too. Hide them well.

Yeah, them starter kill relays are standard on most of the good alarm systems...also a backup battery, and a second siren (both hidden well)

That'll slow 'em down for a good ... 30 seconds...

Kill switches on fuel pump, starter, clutch, main relay, etc u name it. As said, an alarm is only as good as its installer.

where is your antenna located? I have mine centrally located right on the top of the windshield of my 00 civic and range is excellent. Range will dramatically suffer if antenna is located somewhere like under the dash next to electronics and metal.

Best advice I can offer is to read this link, then reconsider your purchase.
