I had one on my first firebird. It had a loudmouth exhaust on it and I could start it a distance away that I could scare people walking by. It only happened once by accident but it was a perk.

Make shure that you install it your self or get a really good installer. My moms solara (a yota I know big POS) has an aftermarket one and now the alarm goes off whenever it wants

warms the car in winter (heater on full before exiting the vehicle) and cools down the car in summer (AC on full before exiting the vehicle). that's all we use it for.
