I need to get an alarm, looking for a 2way pager type and found some at what seems to be a good price at caralarmz.com. Are those any good? Does anyone have a recommendation for one in the $150 range.

Also, the car is missing the remote to lock/unlock the doors, I'd like an alarm I can wire to the doors or something that I can use to work the doors also if thats possible.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you're looking at but I have the Viper 791, which is a good system IMO. Many pager systems not only have alarm features but also the remote entry. There are some that do remote start, too.

Get yourself an astrostart the finest most reliable r/s alarm on the market by far. Id go with a 2205 or 5204

Oh, 1 more thing, I wouldn't suggest using the "computer safe test light" that he's offering on there as well. Even though it is "computer safe" they can damage the car's internal computer. I suggest using a digital multimeter, most everyone else here will suggest that too.
