I just got a tC a couple days ago and am looking into beefing up the security and was wondering if anyone had any good advice on what to get? I havn't heard anything about how easy/hard these cars are to steal without any add-on anti theft equipment, but I live in a somewhat shady area and I know cars get broken into around here all the time. Was considering LoJack, but its very expensive, and doesn't do anything to deter a POS stereo thief. Alarms seem to be pretty worthless. Is the factory stereo something anyone would want to steal (will it fit in any other car)?

 

I just got a compustar alarm w/ remote start. It's great.
If someone is breaking into your car it pages you AND the remote works from
1 1/4 mile away!!!! (New technology) I bought it off ebay for $230 +&25 for
the transponder free shipping and $150 to install. Great system!!

 

BE warned at a shop they will charge $700-900 for this Compustar system installed.

 

I have the Viper 791XV system...

The wiring isn't available yet...but it'll be soon...

 

www.directed.com, i've heard clifford viper, and prestige are all good systems. once you figure out about what you want i asked the installers the questions i had about the different alarms. oh and i asked him how much it would be if i came with the alarm ready to install (off ebay) and he said it would be $150 plus he wouldn't honor the warranty. he could have been b.s.ing me but....

 

I'm planning to get the Clifford Matrix RSX 3.5... have some info on wiring diagram on remote start and work from there.

Using 555U since its universal.
