I installed a BEL 975remote and it works great. It cost me $100 for a pro to install.

See Garage
I have a BEL 980, and it works great. It has vocal alerts which get your attention better than just beeps. The Beeps in this model are also louder than most. (Can you tell I play my stereo while driving?) $239 several months ago (may be less now.)

Valentine 1 is way too BIG and EXPENSIVE, IMO. Also looked at Passport 8500 before buying the BEL. These are regarded as the top three rated models at present.

I shoped through MySimon.com
