Sorry to be dragging this out of the deep, but I'm facing a dilemma regarding alarms and would need a recommendation on alarms if people have done after market ones.

I didn't choose the dealer upgrade because they said immobilisers were good enough and the motion sensors in the dealer fitted ones could be quite sensitive (wouldn't be able to leave your windows partially wound down on a hot day).

But when I started getting insurance quotes today, I was told with alarm fitted, it would be 10% off (grrrr), so now I think I'm going to have to spend money to install an alarm, just to save money on insurance.

I've heard of Viper's as an upgrade kit once before, any more info? Some insurance companies will give you a discount if you fit an approved alarm. But I don't want two remotes like my last car!

I've got a viper in mine, only one remote also. All seems good.

the viper alarm upgrades are great and utilise your factory remotes. What insurer are you talking to? Factory setup without the alarm is pretty safe. I'm an insurance broker send me a pm and i'll see what i can do, i haven't been able to help everyone but i'll give anything a shot.

A mate of mine has wired a set of air horns to his alarm instead of a standard siren. They're loud enough to hurt your ears if you're close to the car, certainly enough to put anyone off from sitting on the bonnet if they go off
