Alarm Add On's???

I've got my mind set on the Compustar P2W9000FM-AS.

1) Is the standard security equipment sufficient or more add on's are needed to make the system more robust?

2) If additional security equipment is needed, what are they?

3) What additional equipment/feature is necessary and what's going overboard?

Thanks!

i recommend battery backup. i am getting mine installed tomorrow. i will let you know how it goes. by the way, i noticed you are getting the AS which means you want the alarm and remote starter. that means you will have to give up your 2nd key.

I would recommend adding additional peizo's.

Forgot to mention I would get glass break sensors, as well as a tilt sensor so you know if someone is trying to take your car via flatbed.

i think it will allow the car to think that the key is in the ignition, so that the remote start will work, since the key has a chip in it.
