Will the factory alarm really go off if the window is broken? Most Honda alarms won't go off unless a door or something is opened....thus one can climb in the car and steal what they want out of the car without setting off the alarm. Alarms are usually voltage sensing, so they tie into the lighting system, which is why they go off when a door is opened. Impact and audio sensors are different, though.
DEI is the alarm company to go with. They make Viper, Python, I guess Clifford, Hornet, and a few other names that I can't recall right now. Go to
www.directed.com and check out their site. It's not the best site, but it's a place to start.
Viper and Python are two of the most common models you'll tend to find. Around where I live nobody seems to carry Python, but they all carry Viper. As for models, it really depends on what you want. For the Viper, you can go with a 300 ESP, or you could go 500 ESP or 600 ESP, depending on some of the novelty features you've got. If you have an automatic and want remote start, then I'd recommend the 550 ESP.
You can always add modules to get extra functionality. You can add solenoids to pop your trunk, window modules to roll down your windows with your remote, remote start module (if you get 500 or 600, for example), audio sensor, hood pin, trunk pin, etc. It really depends on how much protection you want and how much you're willing to spend. I wouldn't recommend getting a motion sensor, those are usually useless and just cause people to get annoyed with your alarm.
Just bear in mind that an alarm is only a deterrant, if someone wants your car, or what's in it, badly enough....they'll get it.
When it comes to getting your alarm installed, trust your car to a trained and certified professional. It'll cost you more initially, but in the long run it'll cost you less.
