Car Alarm/Remote combo for self-install

[Florian Feuser /FFF/]

Can anyone point me to info or share his/her experience about about car-alarm
systems and installation procedures.

The factory alarm is a bit pricey for what you get. It seems there are less
expensive systems available offering tons of options including remote starter
etc.

TIA

Go with the "factory" add-on security. Good install instructions, simple, no
problems in 3yrs. Most important, you don't add all those unknown variables
when and if you ever have problems and have to troubleshoot. Look for
pricing at subaruwrxparts.com

For ease of install, you cannot beat the factory systems. Get the OEM part
number from the parts counter, then look on ebay or the like for it. I got
my factory system, complete for about $50USD. Installing it was a breeze,
too.

Yes, that's what I did with the last Legacy I owned. I haven't seen an OEM
system on ebay in a while and I am curious about the options offered by other
systems. E.g>: The Amenity Pro-Start 3300 (or whatever it is called) goes for
under $75 new. Has anyone here installed one or a similar system?
