You get a key pad that makes your horn honk.

Seriously though I dont think the anti-theft system is that great. At least you get keyless entry. I would go aftermarket and spend a little more. I have it on mine and I jiggle the handel, shake the car and never set it off.

You get more than that! There are sensors that detect if the car is moved to be towed or if the windows are open and someone reaches inside it alarms. For some you can open both windows before you enter to cool it off on a hot day. (I think they took that option out for some reason)

I have all of these features on mine. If you have motion sensors in the map light fixture it will take about 30 seconds to arm after you lock the car with the key pad. All sensors have to be armed meaning that you can't leave the hood up or a door partially open or the trunk open when you arm it. Also you can drop the windows by holding on to the unlock button on your key fob for atleast 3 seconds but you can only raise them by putting the key in the door lock and turning and holding. One direction raises the windows and the other direction drops the windows. If someone smashed a window it would set the alarm off but I don't think it will trip by pushing on the car. Just my two cents.

Ok what the hell are you guys talking about? I have the anti-theft system and all I can get it to do is make the horn honk and open the trunk. And of course keyless entry.

Dont waste your money on any aftermarket alarm because they are all the same. A somewhat knowledgeable car thief will easily get past the aftermarket alarm....but since most of the cars stolen are just flat bedded anyways it wont matter what you have. Just have good insurance and thats it
