What would you like to do? It only has one optional output. It is a basic audiovox alarm

I started working with Karr in 98. I'm curious if anyone out there who has a Karr alarm system is happy with it. Specifically, functionality AND aesthetically. If you're wondering as to my concern... I am extraordinarily meticulous when putting in alarms and was always frustrated with attitude of a great portion of installers installing KARR products. The equipment is bulletproof and I was ALWAYS pleased with it's ease of operation and virtually nonexistent failure rate...(out of a few thousand installs...I had one bad module). Anyway... If anyone has anything under their dash that looks like it needs some Ragu Sauce poured onto it. Feel free to post your input.
