Alarm installation
Bout to slap a alarm on my car and need some suggestions on where to take my car. I know innerspace in allen does good work, anybody have any experience anywhere else? I might just install the alarm myself to save on the labor charges.
BTW looking for a high end alarm, anybody have any experience with compustar?

Recommendation: If you're having it installed and you already have audio equipment, etc, in your car... don't give the installer your real address. I've heard too many stories of people having equipment/alarms professionally installed only to have it stolen while the car was parked at home within a matter of weeks. All of them suspected the installer.
With that said, Earmark would probably be a pretty safe bet for an installation.

The Earmark in Plano is the one I'm referring to. Ask to have Chris do the work. Over 20 years experience and a top notch installer. He's a perfectionist. I should know because I am too. It takes one to know one.

Sounds good, I will give him a call tommorow to see waht kind of alarms he carries and what are his rates. Earmark of Richardson was always a good place that I use to go to but I guess they moved to Plano.
Do you guys have aftermarket alarms on your vehicles?

Yeah I have a DEI (viper) brand alarm on my Accord right now and I am well aware of their quality. I use to do ALOT of stereo work and DEI made some GREAT amps back in the days. Ahh I miss those days, too bad adding weight in the S has a greater effect than most cars due to the relatively low torque for daily driving.

I was thinking about going with Compustar too but after talking to a few installers they all told me the quality of the system isn't that good. They all recommended a DEI brand alarm.. so I'm torn between which one to get now.

Why don't you have Lojack install their lojack+alarm combo for you. It's only a little more than a standard alarm, and it calls your cell phone if the alarm is triggered. It's pretty neat. And they come out to wherever and install it for you.
