I have an old Viper Alarm from the 360 series I believe from awhile back on my 350Z. The previous owner got the alarm system installed and I totally regret buying a used car with the alarm.

Why I regret it:
1) Company that installed the alarm managed to mess up the driver's side air bag in the door panel.
2) You can't unplug the battery from the alarm because the car automatically locks you out. I have no idea what I'm going to do when my battery eventually dies.
3) I just don't see it as necessary.

I feel that they offer a good benefit in the once in a life time chance that your car gets broken into and you happen to be in range for the break-in, but I know I wouldn't make this mistake again. Again, this was my opinion.

Thanks
