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.

 

The wires will be fine.

 

yep

 

alright thanks, and while were on the subject, any recommendations on alarms?

 

viper, clifford. dont go cheap. also get a backup battery for it. and a fuel cutout is good too.

 

what kind of features in an alarm are like a MUST to get?

 

- 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.
