Need to look at getting an alarm for the car, just not sure what I need. Last time I bought an alarm I was A$$ raped by Cronic, won't do that again. Anyone have any advice on features or shops they trust?
Thanks!!

Well stay away from Chronic and Audio Express. I work at Ultimate and we carry DEI alarms. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what shop you take it to, just how experienced the guy working on your car is.

I hear ya About2Bite, its the wrench turner that matters.
I think thats a good idea, heres why. On my Tahoe, they broke the hood open cut the neg battery cable then lifted my ENTIRE stereo out of the vehicle. Insurance covered it but my Mustang does not carry those priviledges.
I just want an alarm that will ensure the car is there when I return. I don't need a super duper flashy bling alarm. Just one that works and works well.
Peace
I installed a Crimestopper two way alarm (with remote start). If they get the hood open, they're just going to cut the alarm horn (or reach underneath before they open the hood). As soon as it's triggered my keychain beeps up to a mile away. No one else is going to care if my alarm is going off (like when my car got backed into at Fry's) but at least I got out there right away.

1) if they really want it, they'll take it. 2) if you are worried about them cutting the alarm siren, pay yhe extra 15 bucks for the horn honk relay.
Or a battery backup, that way if they cut the power/ground wire to the battery the siren will still be going.
There are a ton of different accessories available for the alarms from power window mods (roll down windows from remote) to proximity sensors (beep or trip alarm when someone enters a "shield" surrounding the car). There are tons of options
