I'm looking to find opinions on what would be the best aftermarket car alarm for my 2007 Convertible V6.
I'm currently installing a new head unit that includes a 7" Touch Screen and my friends have been telling me that they're stolen pretty often. I've also been told that the stock alarm on my car is pretty much a joke.
Anything that isn't over $200 would be great, but you can feel free to share alarms that exceed that price if you think it's really worth the money.
I put in a Viper that goes off even if a hand goes into the air space over the car and even beeps when someone gets too close to the convertible. For additional security I put in a hidden toggle switch which cuts off the fuel.
A field disturbance sensor detects movement in the area surrounding the vehicle and a motion sensor can detect motion within the vehicle. They are both add ons for the alarm.

All the features on the video are available for all the viper alarms, you might want to consider getting a two way system too. It costs a little more but it will alert you thru the remote if your alarm is going off and you are too far away to hear it.
If you have experience and can get the wiring diagrams you need it's not impossible, but the best thing would be to have it installed by someone certified. Viper won't warranty their alarms if you don't have it professionally installed. Costs a little more, but if something goes wrong....

im about to buy an alarm too..i had a viper on one of my other cars, wasnt the two way, none the less it always did the trick and kept everything inside safe..as to price i would check out bestbuy because they include installation in the price and they have a couple good viper systems to choose from....im getting the 3202v in a week or two so my car doesnt get stolen at college..its 299 and looks pretty good

uhh im not to sure because i dont know how sensitive it is..it says it detects light and hard impacts to the car but with a convertible all it takes is a knife which is virtually silent..a motion detector would be what you wanted..but unless you live or have your car in a bad area i personallys would think that it would be a good enough deterant from someone wanting to jack your car..some nice 20% tint will keep people from knowing whats in your car too..i know the tint and that alarm is good enough for me..also for $70 less they have one that doesnt have the 2 way but is virtually the same thing so if your on a budget thats a nice alarm to..thats the one i used to have
