What's a good alarm to install in the car? Clifford? CompuStar?

Clifford (stay away)

Ive had 3 different cliffords in my entire life. I can tell you from experience, (they are a pain in the a$$) I would recommend Viper. Viper is a great alarm to go with. (Good quality and no headaches).

I say go with Clifford, I have both Viper and Clifford (on different cars of course ) and the Clifford is by far the best, it is so user friendly and compatible with the max. Also Clifford is now made by DEI and packaged as Viper.

If you decide to go with clifford, stay away from the 8000 (not sure if they make this one anymore) but its a huge headache. Its the one with the motion sensor where if you walk by your car it beeps. Man when it would start raining it was a pain in the A$$. I had to disable the alarm whenever it started raining.

Was good for keeping cats and birds off your car though. lol

Any of the Viper's line is nice and is compatible with the car. You can also get them pretty cheap too. And if you want to install them yourself, I can help (so can PearlMax96). Just note that if you install it yourself, you'll have to run some wires into the driver's door to do the lock/unlock. I can explain if/when you get that far.
