When I got my car about 7 months ago, the dealership (Great Neck Mazda) talked me into buying their aftermarket alarm for $280 installed. I didn't know much about alarms at that time and thought it was an ok deal. Now I found out that they just installed the "Crime Guard Al-100C" as shown on http://www.crutchfield.com/S-vfQoJmgHk5w/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=2&g=801&I=514AL100C&o=p&a=1&cc=01&avf=Y&search=

In a month I'm going to buy the Hiboost FMIC and I noticed in 03MSPRO's install that coolent resevoir is relocated to where my dealership placed the aftermarket horn.

Right I'm not sure what I should do. Should I opt to get a better alarm system? If so, what do you suggest? Or relocate that horn to another location? Any suggestions as to where?

THanks

I can't remember if it had an alarm or just the shock sensor. Either way, the siren can be easily relocated. If you want a better alarm then go for it. I suggest something with 2 way paging and a back up battery siren.
