Hello, I am new to the car alarm industry and am trying feverishly to research and find an alarm that I think would be right for me and my car. Unfortunately, although I have researched this forum, and carsound.com, I am left somewhat confused as basically almost every model I have looked at has recommendations from some authors, but complaints from others. Overall, it seems DEI is the leader, but many of their alarms aren't available offline or ebay (unless I am just not looking hard enough) and I want to install this myself. I have installed four sound systems, although I know they aren't the same, I am 20 years old so I have to time and devotion to put into installing an alarm. I figure with the limited wires on my stang and the schematics I have for the car it wouldn't be TOO complicated to install.
At first I was really leaning towards compustar 2wss because of the range, but I've realized i'm rarely ever over a 1/2 mile away from my car and if I am farther, it would be very hard for me to run there in time (leaving in the middle of college class) to do something about my pager going off.
Anyone have any suggestions/ sites to purchase alarms from (or other forums to do research on?). The basic features I am looking for are:
SOLID 1/4 -1/2 mile range
reliability
prewarning chirps
hood and door open sensors that notify my pager
starter kill
Any comments or suggestions are always appreciated. Thanks.

i can get you an alarm with (2) 2-way pager remotes, FM code hopping, 1/2- 1/4 mile range, remote start , blah blah blah and everything else that you want/ could need. I have installed about 13 of them and own 2. they are relighable and have durable remotes. that's harder to find when you have lcd remotes. i can get you one for about $150. NEW IN BOX. write me an email questions@mycustomcar.com and i'll give you my direct phone number. i can help you with install if you need that as well.
