Hi,
I'm looking to add an alarm system to my truck (mazda bt-50 not sold in the US), and need some advice on brands and models.
The things that I like to have are this:
- Reliable
- open/close the lock doors
- windows roll up
- longest range
- 2-way command
- glass break sensor
- shock sensor
- I don't know how it's called, but I have seen some alarms that sounds (like 3 beeps) when someone stand near the car for some time, sort of a warning.
- A siren that sounds different from from the regular six tone!
- inmobilizer
- battery backup
The truck already has power lock and windows, it doesn't have any security from factory. I'm planning to install the alarm by myself.
Thanks guys.

Well any alarm really would fit your need. Get a compustar if your looking for range.
You will need the following
Compustar P2w900fm-AS
Fortins- KeyoverideSL2 or get a U if it doesnt list your car www.ifar.ca
DEI window mod kits or Cliffords
DEI glass breakage sensor
I do not recommend the motion sensor you are speaking of. Two Additional sensors is good enough.
Shock sensors included with the alarm.
Backup batteries are good. Go with any brand. And mix another siren and parrell it to the one that comes in the box.
WORD
"dont ground out!"

Thanks guys, very helpful info.
Some more questions dswift, since I don't want remote start, isn't better to buy the P2W9000FM-A instead of P2W9000FM-AS? from what I read it's the same alarm without the rs, am I correct?
Why you don't recommend the motion sensor?
and lastly, by any chance do you know a brand/model of a siren (with different sound) to add to the system?
Thanks again.
