I just installed the Honda OEM alaram myself. I got it off handaaccessories.com and it took about 3 hours to install. If I can do it, anyone can!
Sure it's a basic alarm, but what the hell else are you going to do, short of the 9mm suggestion?
The fact that it's oem is great because it just "plugs" in and the car is already set up to take it. It has a glass break sensor, bump sensor, optional hood sensor and passive arming. You get two new Honda key fobs exactly like the originals, but the third button now says "Option" instead of "trunk." It still opens the trunk.
I love it's passive arming features. It is basically always trying to re-arm itself unless you really do something obvious. You can choose to have it lock the doors or not, for those who are worried about locking the keys in the car.
Cost is like 280 bucks. The optional hood sensor is 50. May not be cheaper than third part but the OEM and self-install made it worth it for me.
