Tell you what, ask what happens if your dome light doesn't work? I can tell you...the alarm doesn't trigger when the door is opened. This alarm relies on current sensing to trigger. This is not a reliable means of trigger. Good alarms take several hours to install minimum. They also hardwire to the door pin switch circuit.

See, current sensing is the alarms ability to detect a sudden drain on the battery, like when a door is opened, and the dome light comes on. Like I stated, what happens when the dome light doesn't come on for some reason.
A good alarm will have current sensing, as a backup method of trigger, not the primary method.

the viper300esp is a pretty good unit.. It'll do what you need it to.

don't try to skimp on the alarm side of things, because everything is installation, and spending a little more now, can save you spending alot more later on windows, new equipment, or god-forbid, a new car.....

keep in mind what you're trying to protect.
