+1 for a garage...
I'm going to try out the Zenesis 502, though. Mostly for the neat extra features like the knock pad, key FOB, and the 2-way remote.

Right now my car is in the shop getting it's alarm installed. The way I am having it set up is with a proximity sensor and a remote pager. I am not getting a horn, so the thief will not even be aware that the alarm is going off. That way I can deal with the problem 
. The only downfall is if I'm out of the remotes range 
. That's why you carry good insurance. But that's just my two-sense.

The only tracking system used by Police in North America (Boomerang in Canada). With the system I have, the moment my car moves from its parking spot, LoJack attempts to call me to ask me if my car has been stolen. If they cannot contact me, they notify the Police to go find the car which is being tracked by GPS and is guaranteed to be found within a few hours.

Since, I live in Canada its actually called Boomerang but they're the same company and the coverage is for anywhere in North America.

Always a good think to have an alarm on the car, even if it's parked in a garage...you never know when you're going to need it.
I've heard good things about Viper alarms...I have Prestige on mine, but planning on switching to Viper in the future.

it's as secure as any ATM PIN or your tax return PIN. 4 digits is 10,000 combinations. Not something you'd be able to guess on the first try, and it'd notify you on the keychain just the same as if someone tried to pick your lock or jimmy the door.

lol and you think your car will be the same shape it was in 1 hour? I've seen people chop cars under 15 minutes with 4 people working on it. TRUST me if they really want your car there no stopping it even Lojack. Best feature about Lojack is that it lowers your insurance.

You are responsible for any harm your vehicle would do to a thief(or anyone else). Or say A little kid bumped into your car and those flames aimed at an adults "suasage" is now in the eyes of a little boy.

ok how about this then? say there is a sensor so it determines the person's height so the flame shoots up accordingly? So that the little boy can get his bean bags roasted too lmao

Haha, Lojack is a joke, a couple of my friends had Lojack and just for fun we decided to look for the module it took us less than 5 minutes to find it...most thieves know were to find it and remove, basically useless.
If you got lucky and got an amateur then your fine.

LoJack sent me this, It says no annual or monthly fees:
Thank you for your interest in LoJack. By considering a state of the

packages to find a solution that best suits your needs:
* LoJack Early Warning System (our most popular package):$995
Our Early Warning System is our most popular package combining our
LoJack Stolen Recovery System with our quick responding Early Warning

The product is guaranteed against workmanship for the first two years of

* LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System: $695
Our entry level package uses a small hidden transceiver to send a signal
to police which allows them to track and recover your stolen vehicle.
With this system, you won't know that your vehicle was stolen until you
notice is gone. However, once you do, you call the police to start your
activation. The product is guaranteed against workmanship for the first
two years of ownership and you may extend the warranty if you wish to do
so.
* Extended Recovery Warranty: $99

So...newb question...
I've read that many shops have trouble installing an alarm system on our cars, would it be the lack of the actuator on the driver side door?
How many people actually have the keyless entry, 2-way pager, and how well do they work without the JDM passenger side actuator? Did you install the system yourself or was it done by a professional shop?
I want to get a alarm with 2-way pager and remote keyless entry, so any input is appreciated.
edit. Although many people have stated the alarm system being useless above...I just want it to make myself feel a little bit better.
