Hubie hit the nail on the head. Installation is KEY to any security system. I prefer DEI only because I am a certified installer and have installed hundreds of them. I don't install the "starter kill" relay because you have to locate and cut the starter wire to add in the relay. No matter how well you do this you can see the wires coming out of the factory loom, so the thief doesn't have to search for the starter wire! Same thing goes for any kill switches. Unless you hide these wires VERY good, the potential thief can find these and supply power (or ground) to activate what you are trying to disable. Don't make his job any easier. I install a remote pager to any of my own alarms, so I know the instant someone attempts to break into my car. And lastly the more warn away devises you install the better, i have an LED's on the dash, on the back of my rear view mirror, and on top of each door panel. Why would a thief break into your car when you obviously have an alarm and the car sitting next to your doesn't.... There have been 2 cars I know of the have been broken into sitting right next to mine.
