I've been thinking about installing an alarm system in my new 2. I searched the manual, but it seems that the only "alarm" on the car is only the engine immobilizer, which I think is great, but might benefit from the addition of an actual alarm. However, I have to be honest- this sounds really silly- but I like my OEM Mazda remote control key and I wouldn't like to replace it with a generic alarm remote control. Also, I'm wondering whether an alarm might be more trouble than it's worth- electrically and so on- the manual is sure to "alarm" the owner about the dangers of installing a third-party alarm and how it could invalidate the warranty, etc. etc. What do you guys think? Is an alarm even worthwhile these days?
