Looking for advice on an alarm....

What can you guys recommend in the way of an after-market alarm? I'd be looking for something that is high tech enough so it won't false alarm all the time, and something that's easy to install. Plug and play would be nice.

Thanks much!

I bet most people skip alarms. Seriously who listens to them or does anything when you hear one go off?!!? Nobody... Skip the alarm and get a lojack or similar item. That will allow the police to hopefully recover the vehicle unlike an alarm thats pretty much worhtless....

The car is equipped with ignition immobilization standard. An alarm would be merely adding a belt to your suspenders.

When was the last time you called 911 when you heard someone's car alarm go off in a parking lot?
