for the ultimate protection:
ATLEAST the IG8000 (sensors adj. by remote)
and add the following accessories
-G4 clifford smart powered siren (doesnt need a key)
-G4 prox sensor (std on the 8000)
-G4 dual stage omni sensor
-G4 glass tamp. sensor (the prox doesnt reach the rear windows)
-G4 tilt sensor (rims etc)
should run about $600-700 installed.
you can also add the g4 remote start, which is OK to use with manual cars, and allows the stock clutch safety switch to operate.
from what i know, omni sensor and proxy sensor are the same thing. i just had alpine sec-150 installed this afternoon. and to be honest with you, you don't really need glass sensor if you already have prox sensor and the opposite is true. why? because if someone breaks your windows, he is gonna get in the car and once his arm or leg is in, the inner proxy will detect it which will eventually set off the alarm. with the prox in ur car, you can literally leave all windows open and go to sleep without worrying.
to test my theory, the installer and i did a small experiment on the prox this afternoon. we left all four windows open with the car armed and assumed that there is a camera, he wanted to steal in, on the seat. once he reached his arm inside the car before he had a chance to grab the camera, the alarm was set off.
that was less than 5 seconds. so you see how prox works. IMO, glass sensor is a waste of money, if you have prox sensor. i mean you can have either one since they are very good devices, but having both is a waste
