This will be updated over the next week when I have time to work on the car
Why install/buy a car security system
The main idea is to make your car less of a target. Out of two identical cars in an parking lot a thief is less likely to risk breaking into the one with the alarm. You have spent all this money on audio and performance and need something to back it up. If done correctly you car will be ALMOST impossible to steal.
Also you can save some money or your insurance, have the convenience of keyless entry/ trunk pop and worry less about whats going on with your car.
Install
Install is the most import part of car security. A bad install can make it almost easier for a theif to steal your car. You want everything to look as factory as possible.
Two-way or One- way alarm
A two way alarm allows two-way communication between you and your car. You can check the status of your car, generally have better range and will know if your alarm is going off if you are within range. Cost is the main deterrent from going with a two-way system.
Brand
As for brand I recommend Directed Electronics (Viper, Python, Clifford, etc.)
Other decent brands would be
Compustar Currently replacing.. Good system ... .Huge brain
Audiovox
"bad" brands
CodeAlarm (partial Audiovox depending on time it was made)
Crimestopper
Pyle
Bulldog
What will be going in my car
DEI Python 990 2-Way Security System / Remote Start System with Responder SST Technology (Same as the Viper 5900)
DEI 520t Backup Battery System
Protect your car if a thief were to pop you hook and disconnect your battery. (extremely easy on this car)
DEI 508d Dual Zone Motion Sensor
If you leave your windows open or want to use it to replace a glass break sensor this is the way to go. Downside would be they are tricky to calibrate and sometimes temperamental
DEI 689 M (A) Neutral Safety Module For Manual Transmissions
This Module allows safe installation of a remote starter on a car with a manual transmission. It works by using a sequence of events to confirm the car is in neutral before allow the car to start.
Code Alarm TKRS1 Trunk Release Solenoid
Allows you to pop the trunk with a push of the button. You can also disconnect the factory trunk pop lever for more security
