I installed the bulldog one on my Infinity.
Works very well. Easy to install and was only $39 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

The Formula is a stick or I would slap one on there too.

There is actaully a really cool thing we can all do with our factory alarms.

There is a mod that allows you to unlock both doors with one press of the unlock button. You do this by cuttting a wire in this big fat wiring harness but i could never find the wire. It is a tan wire. When you cut the wire, you attach it to some other wire and it frees up a channel. You can use that channel (pressing the unlock button twice) to do just about anything (remote starter). so in fact, we can use our factory alarms to do it. Only drawback is that the first push of the button will unlock the doors and let anyone in.

Here is a link to the mod that allows you to open both doors with one press. If anyone could find the wire, please snap a picture so us challenged people can find it too.

no alarm necessary.
this kit works by itself or can be made to work with your existing factory transmitter.
