IMO, the factory keyless/alarm module is a pile of junk. Your much better off getting an aftermarket alarm from a 3rd party like DEI(they make the viper series, python, clifford, etc). Sure it may cost more but the available features are much better. I'm sure you've heard the age old saying "you get what you pay for".

stock security is the easiest thing to get past. it only works if there is a voltage drop from the interior lights going on via a door or trunk hatch switch, someone busts out a window? your car is gone. someone wants your wheels and tires? yup, they're gone too. someone breaks open your hood (I've seen it) and disconnects the battery they can have anything they want, and in very little time.

a good quality security system can at least deter even the best of theives. why should they bother with the chance of getting caught when they can go to the next car?
