I don't even need to read what everyone was saying here to answer it. My last car had the "badboy" alpine SEC8061 alarm. Retailed for $400 without install. My car was stolen and the alarm was bipassed extremely easily. Should be having an expert looking at it soon. My roommate has the exact same alarm and it's the biggest POS I've ever seen. I'm going Clifford on my next car. But then again, alarms are worthless. No one listens to them anymore. They can go off for hours and no one will ever go look unless YOU recognize it being your car. Lo-Jack is a must!!!
