Those cars with remote start on them... I suppose that means you have to leave your car out of gear all the time.
I tend to park with mine in gear.

one thing i find important on alarm systems is 'all black wiring' and multi-frequency if remote operated

1. Break & entry detection via motion sensors. Bonnet sensors to alert alarm before tampering.
2. Detection from any form of entry to the car and also from bumps
3. Sensors on each door/boot/bonnet, interior sensor and tilt/motion sensor.
4. Clifford concept 300 with tilt/motion sensor
5. I would add a proximity sensor, so it would warn thiefs that the car alarm is aware of the presence and ready to sound. Also would like a bump/shunt sensor so alarm would sound if someone hit your car.

A1) Sensor' on all doors and bonnet.
A2) Cheaper insurance policy. 
A3) Remote controlled.
A4) Got one, no idea what kind it is though. 
A5) To activate/deactivate it i have to point the remote directly at the censor on front windscreen. Would like to be able to switch it on and off from all angles.
