Ahh... I didn't understand that was a non-fixable problem. I thought you were more concerned about how to program it. n/m!

What features would be a must to have and what are a waste of money on an alarm system? I live in a safe area but you never know and we travel.

A few folks on here have a Commando system, many jumped into a group buy a few months ago for the FM-870. Very nice box. Search YT for comments on the system, this is the Commando website:

Hard to beat for $170.
One of the discussions that you'll find here on YT talks about how similar the systems are from the various MFGs. That's pretty much 'cause they're ALL built by the same people - DEI.
The big thing I point out to people is that an alarm system is only a deterrent. If someone wants your vehicle, they'll get it. Towing a car with the alarm blaring is common in urban areas, thieves with a flatbed are common anywhere. An ice pick to the battery will render any alarm useless.
Shop for the extra features that YOU want... two-way transmitter, remote window control, remote start, door unlocks, temperature sensor, etc. The actual _alarm_ portion is generally worthless when it comes down to it.
