Did you get any other sensors other than the ones that came with the base system?

I can buy the stuff online and take it to most of the installers, but it is like $250 installed. I think I am goin to wait a little while.

Have you had any problems?

Anything you dislike?

For now I just had what it came with. Was thinking of a proximity sensor but the guy told me not to because people mess with your vehicle more, so I didn't but I think I changed my mind and I just want people to stay the F$%k away from my truck.
The only thing that happens to this alarm that I don't like is when you arm your alarm every once in a while it hesitates and then doesn't arm, but only if your next to your truck. If you walk away it arms fine. I took it in and they said something in the lines of because this thing has suck crazy range that it kinda gets confused when your up next the vehicle so just start walking away before you arm. Other then that happening every once in a blue moon its great. I also thought about the voice box but then I started thinking that, that might be gay so I didn't..Not sure what I want to do next. Not sure of what is all offered either might have to do some research..

I would want to add the tilt sensor, that way in case they went for the wheels/tires and maybe the interior sensor. My first truck had an alarm with the interior sensor, I could arm it with the windows down, you stick your arm inside the window, the alarm went off.

I would also see if I could put a sensor on the tailgate cause of the reverse camera. Ppl around here do not steal the camera, they just talk the hole damn tailgate and then pull the camera out at home.

Good idea with the tilt sensor, I might do that as well since I have not been able to find locking nuts that fit good on this truck. I also like the idea of the interior sensor, I hate rolling up the windows all the way in the hot sun.
Are those simple installs to do on your own?

Let me do a little more research, but I want to say all you will have to do is mount the sensor and then just run the wire and plug it into the main box, cause there is aux ports. I think it is just simple plug and play, the main deal and headache is done.

Hey Iron, I went to that place you told me about and they have shut down. So looks like I may have to go to Mickey Shorr.
