I have the OEM, If somebody wants your car or to break into your car bad enough, they will. The stock system works more than fine IMO. I couldn't see an aftermaket alarm being anymore of a theft detterent + it just adds more weight.

You try living in the city where stuff gets stolen when you look the other way. I know couple people around the city that got their FD stolen somehow. Not trying to be stereotypical but latin people love FDs~
Plus those two systems tell you how bad the impact is. So if its someone parking his car and he bumps into you lightly it will tell you its a light bump. Instead of that annoying loud alarm going off it will send you a massage up to 1/4 mile. So I think its totally worth it. You can read up on them, they are known to tell the difference on theft/impact and false alarms.

wheeewwww, I guess my car is safe now, living in a predominately non-latin community... CRAP, I'm going to have to steal my own car!!!
Thieves come in all shapes and sizes and RACES.
Still, I like Clifford good alarms. The one on my Mustang Cobra (paid for not stolen) works great. I just don't like the large remotes that come with the paging features.

I have the stock alarm, an old alpine, a Viper ignition kill, but my favorite is my Power FC.........rev limiter at 500rpm, and my baby ain't goin' nowhere without my say-so unless it's on a flatbed

the EGI fuse.. great security system there.. full engine disabling effect.
But seriously, I have a Code Alarm alarm system on it, and it seems to work ok, but I had to bypass the starter disabler, because it wasn't re-enabling the starter.. stupid piece of crap..

a little off topic I dont want to make a whole new thread for this
since about a week ago every time I lock my car and come back and unlock it with the key the alarm goes off by itself. if I lock the door and then unlock it again it stops but tonight it took about 1 minute of playing with it to stop what is going on here?
I was told to take off the outside handle that something is loose in there?

As stated in my sig. I'm wiring an onboard computer for my FD. This will include rewiring some of the ignition, PFC, and the stereo (for which this project is initially for). I will start a thread on its progress later this week since I finally received all the parts necessary to start putting it in.
Point is, if someone really wants my car, they're going have to pull out the flatbed, and even then, my FD is going to give me a phone call with GPS coordinates
Edit: mispelled PFC

Sorry but some of these replies are just, well stupid. The race of people are not going to affect whether your car is stolen, the neighborhood will. You are confusing coincidences and past experiences. Anyhow, the pagers even smart pagers are crap. Please, you will run out to the parking lot and either watch your car drive away or see that it is missing already. Do you allways get your pages? what about bad reception in buildings? False sense of sercurity is what you are paying for!
An alarms only functions are to make noise and diable the vehicle. Some only make noise. That can be bypassed in mere seconds but cutting the horn wires. Everything else is luxary ...dome lights, parking lights, smart sensors. You are fooling yourselfs.
An aftermarket alarm does nothing more then the OEM other then add luxary accessories.
1. relocate the alarm brain
2. manual engine kill switch
3. theft recovery system

The whole point of this system is so the alarms wont go off mindlessly annoying your neighbors, its to alert you privately. Also like I said there is an option for backup battery power so you will know what's happening even if somehow they cut your power without you being alerted.
