that LCD screen comes with it. authorized dealers usually start at $599 installed with no extra options. and i guarantee you at the movie theathers u wont receive any signals from the car.

extra options such as rim/tire sensor, glass sensor, radar and motion sensor can add up to an additional $200 in parts alone.

have an authorized dealer do the install so you can have warranty on parts and labor !

the screen is just for extra..i mean it tells you what is being broken into...hood, trunk, or doors...but not 100% needed. if you're on a budget go to the one without the screen, it does look cool and what not but its up to you...you could use that 70 toward window mods or other goodies for it

i have the 791xv with the window mod, tilt monitor, and a mini piezo (ear piercing siren )

Stock baby, if they want the car or whats inside of it, it doesn't matter what kind of noise maker alarm you have or how much $$ you spent on it.
The break-in is still the same and their gonna get it.
