I am at the point where I need to install the alarm/keyless entry for my car since I am tired of reaching through the wing windows to open the doors.

I am very good with cars, including wiring, but know very little about purchasing/quality of the actual alarm systems, and would greatly appreciate some advice about which one to buy and what modules/upgrades etc. would be necessary.

The car: 1965 GTO convertible, no door handles - solenoids are installed and locks are not used.

What I am hoping for:

Push one button to open drive door, another button to open passenger door

2 way communication, key fobs AND Smartphone

Tilt sensor

Glass break sensor

Siren

proximity alarm

Remote start

Visible lighted alarm indicator

(MAYBE) Voice announcements?

Is the engine fuel injected? Are there power door lock motors installed it the doors? Are they 2 wire or 5 wire ? As far as brands are concerned anything from a reputable company will last a lifetime. It comes down to the remote design that YOU like. Brands like Clifford,Viper,Python or Prestige or Code Alarm or Compustar are what I have used in the past and would recommend any of them.

The 3305v is not a remote start. Other than that that's a great security system there. Now it will only be effective if installed properly.

I would skip the voice module. A shock sensor is included the 3305. I would do a battery backup up for the alarm not the siren. Dei model number 520t.

Thanks. I decide I don't need remote start because the car is 1965 and carbureted.

The alarm will be installed in a locked battery box in the trunk. It is an Optima so no off-gassing.
