Default Help with Car Alarm installation

Does anyone have any advice on Alarm systems that are:
1. Inexpensive (Less than $50)
2. Compatible with a Honda Accord 1990 (with Power Locks and Windows)
3. Easy to install

I would also appreciate any advice on brands or models I should avoid.
Most importantly, I don't have much experience with auto eletrical wiring, but I am willing to learn... So, I would be grateful if anyone could direct me to a website, book, or any other resource I could use to guide me through the installation.

Thanks a lot in advance.
All the best,
ZeBuscape

most alarms are compatible with your car. as for the windows, if you are talking about sensors, most alarms come with shock sensors and no glass break sensors. shock sensors are sufficient in detecting the vibration caused by breaking a window. if you want the windows to go up and down, then you need to get a seperate module(more $$$$). visit www.the12volt.com for some alarm basics. as for the door locks, your locks are negative trigger(they get activated when a ground pulse is applied to the unlock and lock wires). as for alarms, ebay i think has some cheap ones. also, circuit city used to have do it yourself alarms so check them out.

if you're looking for lower budget security, go with autoloc + club, kill switches, relocated hood latch cable, online gps tracking (roughly 100), etc...
