Ok before i get started, let me just post up the specs on my car
2000 Audi A4 1.8T
Automatic Transmission
Ok so my car was stolen a few weeks ago and needless to say i am now in the market for a GREAT alarm system. I've been searching and i need something with REMOTE PAGING and remote start, i wont be installing the remote start but i've noticed most pagers come with remote start anyway. my car is garaged (parking garage) mostly all day at school and at home its in the street. I want something that will really get the job done. I dont want my car stolen a second time. Any input would be great I've been checking out the scytek, clifford, and compustar alarm systems. Please help me find the best alarm system for my car!! thanks

Do a search of best alarm.
Aside from the alarm, you might want to get some extra stuff that will prevent people from stealing it again. (backup battery siren, tilt sensor, extra sirens...)
BTW, alot of company sells 2-way without remote start (like compustar, dei)which is cheaper than buying a 2way with remote start and not using it.
Id probably get the Python 900

That's because they are from the same manufacturer along with 80% of the industry... All out of Taiwan. There is an alarm system out there that also has a camera that goes to your pager/fob. I'll see if I can find the model for you withing the next 24 hours.

Look into the ultra 3270 awesome range many features, user friendly etc..... The image capturing alarms are cute but imo they are useless. I have a couple of people buy them at a competitor and pay me to install them, the pictures were nothing to brag about unable to tell if it was even a human  breaking into the car. -------------
