I have an Audiovox. It has a two-way remote, keyless entry, shock sensor, motion sensor, door sensor. I'm sure it has a few other features that I can't remember. It cost $299 at Car Toys, installed. I had to add $100 for it to work with the vacuum locks (so, $399 total). It has been working great for the year that I've had it. I'm going to add remote start one of these days.

i have keyless entry and remote start and remote trunk release.... but... my factory car alarm does not activate when i use the remote to lock the car... it will only activate/deactivate when the metal key locks the car...
for example.... if the car is locked with the metal key... and i unlock the car with the remote... then open the door... the alarm will go off...
i never use the metal key to unlock the doors anymore so its not a problem.
i dont really remember how much i paid for it installed... somewhere around 300 bucks... i dont remember the name of the brand... but its a company owned by clarion.. ungo maybe...
i posted something on here when i got it done 2-3 years ago

Trunk release? I would like something like that... I don't think my car came factory with a trunk release... Did they have to add that or what? I actually have to lift the trunk when its opened.

I have the standard E320 coupe Alarm system which is actually very good, the only thing it lacks really is the keyless entry and automatic trunk which i don't think was introduced until later models
