Viper 791XV with lojack and 20% all around tint. This alarm has little transponder that sends a relay signal to the car every few seconds to make sure nothing's changed, and no sensors have been triggered.

if you DON'T want your evo stolen, then I'd get a Ravelco (www.ravelco.com), otherwise, if you want to just cause a lot of racket, get a vamped up Viper alarm. . .

I've had my ravelco for months now, and have the peace of mind knowing NO ONE can take the car, and if it's flatbedded, they won't EVER get it started. . .now, the stuff inside might get stolen, but at least my $35k is okay. . .

I had something similar installed from the dealer when I bought my car. It's called starguard -- http://www.alllinesdealerservices.co.../stargard.html

Ungo (Clarion) sr6000 with prox & merc switches, tint, paging key fob, and a supreme lack of ability to correctly operate the contraption. (I've already set my own alarm off several times --- extremely embarassing!)

I had the Compustar 2WSS-AS and I do not like it.. It sucks up an insane amount of battery, and is laggy about responding back and forth... The range is awsome though (1 mile and a quarter), but when your battery is low... it sucks...

I bought the Compustar 2W900FM-AS for my moms civic and I like that one 10x better...

Also when your car is moved withouth being started it automatically kills the car and calls,email and text you.
Give us a link to these. I haven't found a unit that allows autostart from your phone yet.
