Aftermarket Alarm Or Stay Stock?

i gota brand new alarm 2way system with remote start ive been waitin to install or is the lexus factory alarm better as far as security is concerned.....

I think that the factory alarm is a great system. If you decide to have the aftermarket alarm installed bring it to an installer that knows what they're doing.

Depending what year your car is all late model Lexus's came with multi-plex wiring, which means 1 wire may control 2-3 different functions. You may accidently tap into a circuit & short out 1 of the computors by overloading it. I know someone that bought a car with an aftermarket system on if already & it blew out the body (ecu).

IMO, The stock system is all you need . If someone wants the car they will get it or it's contents. You should consider getting the car chipped with a gps tracking device.

I agree, Lo Jack is very popular in this area. Included with the GPS tracking this company can actually shut off the ignition at the flick of a switch.

Agreed with the good installer part.

I use both mine when needed

but the secondary is for a good workign shocksensor which needs a major thump not a loud civic driving by it.

all of those are true, maybe ill just get the remote start for those cold winters and hot summers.
