Has anyone installed an aftermarket alarm they can recommend?
When I originally ordered my Prius the salesman was actually
suggesting I buy an aftermarket alarm because the standard (package)
one was not worth the cost. I tended to agree, but now that I
actually have the car the other salesman was going on about how I
shouldn't add any aftermarket things to it, nobody will know what
they're doing with the car, and so on.
Supposedly cars are normally stolen for parts, which isn't a big
concern with a specialty car like the Prius and with the engine
immobilizer (I assume). I thought I might be safe with only the factory
stereo system, but now I'm told that airbags are a big thing
thieves like to steal, so I would feel better with an alarm to
discourage that.
