Message You should really reconsider a GPS add-on, the Viper 210V is great monthly pricing and info here

The best alarm system IMO:

1) Viper 5900 alarm w/210V ( I recommend the 5900 over the 7900 purely because of the distance capability of the remote, the color OLED is nice on the 7900, but you sacrifice range)
2) DEI 506T (glass sensor(s))
3) DEI 507T (tilt sensor for wheels)
4) DEI 508D (dual proximity sensor)
5) DEI 509U (interior ultrasound sensor)
6) DEI 530T (window up/down)
7) DEI 515R (siren with built-in battery, mounted under the front center panel ideally)
8) DEI 516L (voice for alarm output/P.A. system, just cuz its awesome)
9) DEI 522T (trunk release)
10) DEI 545T (nite-lite system, shuts headlights off)
11) DEI 8601 (magnetic switch(s) for hood and trunk)
12) DEI 519H2 (if you have a garage door opener, great add-in))
13) DEI 520T (battery backup)
14) DEI 513T (Piezo siren stealthily mounted behind the glovebox)
15) DEI 620 warning light mounted visibly
16) BlackJax 5 if you feel like it, but with all this stuff maybe overkill

Non -alarm stuff, but worth mentioning-
1) use your tonneau cover at all times
2) fabricate a cover for your center console out of some carpet, cardboard, and the front of a POS Bose HU/similar POS
3) Fuel kill off the relay works great, nice backup
4) Park close to curbs, and turn the tire against the curb when possible
5) obviously well-lit and busier locations are better
6) obviously hide all expensive stuff when you can i.e. iPods, cell phones, foreign porn
7) McGard Wheel Installation kit is awesome
8) If you have airbags, a club/other similar device thats brightly colored as well is great
9) Some people like wheel boots
10) Having a nice Stillen car cover with a padlock also helps if you live in a busy area and dont want scratches
11) "bumper badger" and long magnetic strips that attach to the doors are nice for ding prevention, so is always looking for a hydrant to park in front of or in back of; Stillen mirror bras have saved me many a time
12) stealth tweeter/amp/sub/gauge mounts help, as well as hiding your HU remote if you have one
13) tinting helps if you can
14) make use of your alarm valet switch and Z valet key when duh using valet

This covers MOST of what could be done, not meant to be all inclusive. The Z will be transformed after this setup, even more convenient. eBaying these items and installing it yourself will save a TON of money.

Keep in mind, Clifford/Viper/Python are parallel brands under DEI.

Anyone who says alarms dont work just didnt spend the right money for the right deterrents. This isnt a guarantee against theft, since tow trucks do exist, but it DOES HELP IMMENSELY.

Hope this helps
