How much is "too much"? You don't want to spend a lot of money, yet you're inquiring about remote features. You can get an alarm from $99 to $999. What features are you looking for?

i know my clifford has the ability to turn on headlights from the remote but it requires relays or something to be installed which weren't part of the original package. too bad clifford isn't around anymore or has joined into DEI, they made great alarms and the G4 would let you add stuff in, probably some of the DEI stuff would do that too. just browse their websites.

I got a pretty cheap alarm, in some respects. Autopage, was installed along with my tint. Keyless entry is one option, as is trunk popping, but our trunks arn't wired right (I think you need a solinoid, but its not worth it to me). Total w/ tint came out to $270 plus tax. Keyless entry is the shit.

But the alarm protects well. My brother was sweeping the driveway one morning, and he accidentally tapped one of my rims with the broom. It tricked off the alarm. Another time I was with my buddies at a club, and we went out to the car to light up. While we were sittin in my car, my alarm armed itself, and just resting my hand on the steering wheel made it go off. Low senstivity is

I have a Clifford and got a pretty good deal on it. It has night vision with is automatic headlights with delay and you can turn on the headlight with your remote. It also has a motion detector and you can adjust the sensitivity on it too. When you arm the car it automatically rolls the windows up too.

Not a problem then. My 95 EX has power everything, so I got a Python alarm with remote start, window relay, and trunk release installed for $400.
