i have a 2000 chevy silverado with keyless remote from the factory ( gm ) i dont know if i should get a stand alone alarm or a add on , dei makes a 700t add on that i think uses the factory key fobb but adds a full featured alarm with a motion sensor and led light and all that , i would most likely also add a pager so i know that the alarm has been triggered , question #1 ......anyone used the add on . or know about them . the reason i like the add on is : easy install .,, one key fobb .... and if i did the install myself the stand alone alarm would be a bit of work to make the doorlocks unlock andnot have the factory alarm go off , right ??? i have installed quite a few alarms but i am by no means a guru at it . question #2 does any company make a alarm or remote start with factory plugs to plug into the factory wireing harness ??? i thought a few years ago i read about a company making a remote start that would pretty much just plug in . thanks all .

Your best bet is to get a 2 way paging alarm, it will work much better than a upgrade piece with a pager, plus the range on your factory remote sucks compared to an aftermarket alarm. A 2000 is a easy vehicle to install an alarm, everything you need is at the BCM or right above it in the ignition harness.

BCM= body control module
Just under the steering column. This controls the auto headlights, dome lights, door dinger, RAP, automated things happening *in* the truck
ECM/PCM= engine / powertrain control module (right)?
These are interchangable. It's located under the big fuse box on the drivers side under the hood. This controls the engine functions like fuel injections, timing, etc..
