What do I look for in a good aftermarket alarm?
It will be going in an integra.

It needs a glass break sensor.

THe most important part of an alarm is how it is installed. Go shop around and see what you like in your price range. Personally, I prefer Alpine.

As for the glass sensor, that can easily be added to any alarm.

I agree the instalation can make or break an alarm. I prefer DEI products such as Viper.

Alarms are 99.5% install 0.5% alarm

find a reputable shop and don't flip out about the install price, if you want it done right you're gonna have to pay.

that said, I prefer DEI products as well, such as Clifford

Depending on the complexity, and amount/type of sensors in the system, $100-$200 is pretty reasonable install labor.

Definitly agree with Alpine for gear. Not sure if they still make the exact model #, but the SEC-8063 is a bad-ass unit. It has the little digital display in the vehicle. Last I knew, retail price installed was like $550. Well worth it!!

Also, a good dual zone proximity sensor will replace the need for a glass break senson, as you can set the sensor to pre-warn from motion as much as 1 foot away from glass.

after working over ten years as an installer i agree that 90= % is install. but there are trhings you should look for. look at the parts. if they look cheezy, they probably are.

alpine, any dei, & autopage would be my first choices.

beware of the people who know everything....they know enough to get themselves in trouble.

how come it wasn't cheating when they did it?
