IMHO, no alarm is worth the money, if a thief whats your car, they will, get your car...
Have you looked into Lojack ? but this is why I will not buy a house without a garage.

Any ones that don't require cutting/tapping the wiring? Basically I'm asking if there's any alarm system that comes with a wiring adapter/harness

No alarm system comes plug and play..
But like buddy said , when they want your car it's gone with or without alarm.

My friends escalade had about 30k invested into his audio system (he competed), he had what we thought was the "best" alarm system of that time .. They gutted the car inside and out.

But to answer your question, viper and compustar would be my choice . They can both be integrated into smart phones .

P.s: I think a nice dash cam that runs "offline" would be a better investment.
