Default 06 XB security system advice...

So I'm getting my new(used) '06 XB up to speed with upgrades, etc... I just have the stock keyless entry with mine. What would you guys recommend for a good security system? I have some gift cards to Best Buy and was thinking of just going there and having them install a security system in it. Is the factory system better?

What would the forum recommend for a good and reasonably priced security set up for the XB?

thanks guys and gals...

Default Security System

I don't recommend you get the factory system. I have a friend in Philadephia who is the number one security installer. His name is Rob. His shop is called The Car Alarm Shop. Give him a call at 215-472-2486 tell him Mike with the Scion referred you.
