can you handle installing it yourself?
I just put a viper 2-way paging alarm (responder 350) into my `97. I got it, a back up battery, and a tilt/towing sensor all for under $175 off amazon.com
no way would I let the jokers that work at best buy touch the wiring of any of my cars.

The big guy @ best buy vallejo knows his shit. He did my alarm i checked his work all the connections are soldered & clean, looks good and have had zero issues with it. Just dont let apprentices fuck with your wiring.

Lol, I work for quite a bit more than peanut bud. I do installs for bestbuy, and yeah its easy man, just find the wire colors, solder, and tape. Your lucky you dont require a bypass mod though.

lol, yeah that's pretty bad. I used heatshrink and then wrapped everything in black split loom tubing so it's hard to tell it from the factory wiring (what little of it that you can see, since I hid everything all over the car).

im not sure if you want to drive into san jose but there is a shop called guru electronics, im almost 98% sure that its cheaper then that by almost 20o bucks. he does alarms really well and i think he sells 2way pagers for like 160 and another 60-80 for installtion. ask and see if he does hood pins, door disablers etc etc
