CompuStar, no doubt. I had an Avital (made by DEI) on this hawk and it worked fine for about a year, then it started remote starting my car randomly and burning precious gas. Alarm still worked fine. I ended up removing it and replaced it with a CompuStar. LOVE the new alarm. Way better range (1/2 mile) and a sweet looking remote.

Another vote for the Viper 791xv.
Make sure your installer is up to par.

My old Avital Alarm had 1/4 mile range. I could start my car in the parking lot 8 floors up in my building. CompuStar is WAY better though and for the same price. PLUS they make them for M6 tranny's too!
