Doesn't it come with at least a base system?

The Camaro comes with base security system tied in with the Onstar which is good in my opinion. I want the Viper for detecting when my car is being lifted or moved, that's not something the Camaro security system has.

I recommend any DEI product. That's Avital, Hornet, Viper, Clifford. Same factory different name. To keep your GM warranty golden you probably want to stick with a DEI certified installer. And 2 Way with pager. Anything without the pager is basically useless for todays smash and grab.

DEI passlock kit, DEI battery backup siren, DEI battery backup for brain, dual zone sensor etc etc.

There are other brands just that's what I have used since the 90's. I used to use there talking module but too many people mess with your car lol. Kids would hit my car with basketball to make it talk.

the keys are laser cut, so I would imagine that the car is hard to steal, plus if you have the onstar they can track it for you.

yeah, alarms are dumb anyway. Unless you get a two way alarm. At least those tell you right away if your vehicle is being stolen. The only problem is the distance is crap.

The reason I would get a seperate alarm system besides onstar is alot of people know how to disconnect it. And it basically only helps you in an accident or in finding your car if it's been stolen (if the system hasn't disconnected it already).

Ravelco anti-theft device.
Not an alarm, an advanced kill switch.
Once installed, you pull the plug and the car CANNOT be started.

And what about everything else in and on the car?

Most of the alarm systems made by DEI come with a solenoid kill switch as well.

who pays attention to a car alarm when they hear them. Most people ignore them going off in the parking lot. If you could make it sound different by playing La Cucarocha or something, that might get their attention, or they might think its a lunch truck going by....
