Depends on a few things but if you don't mind answering a few questions I can help narrow the market down a bit for you..

1/ How much do you want to spend? There are a lot of options available but your budget is the limiting factor..

2/ Do you need a tracking system for insurance purposes?

3/ What year is the car?

4/ Are there any features you would especially like?

1/ Upto £300 if possible.
2/ No but would like to bring the insurance down if possible.
3/ Its a 94 import.
4/ Total closure, Tilt and if possible a turbo timer buy i can always buy one of these on its own.

Many thanks again for your advice... Jay

Toad Ai606 interactive is the closest system to meet your requirements. It is a full cat 1 alarm system and it also has the added benefit that it can be set up to be used as a basic tracking system. RRP for this system is about £300-350

Total closure, tilt and turbo timer would push the system significantly over budget but they could all be added at a later date.

The clifford 650 is also a good system but it doesn't have any form of tracking capability built in. The basic Concept 650 starts at about £250-£299.

If you decide to go for a clifford alarm system, make sure the person who fit's it is approved and qualified. These are more complex than standard systems and require specialist installations to minimise the risk of problems and false alarms.
