Well it depends on what you mean "best" and "affordable". I will boast DEI stuff all the way. ALL of the main brains are the same in all the lines (Viper, SIdewinder, Python, Hornet, Automate). Some you will find cheaper than others and the Hornet is the only one (well Valet too) that you can buy and install yourself. They are also the only ones that come with a 1 year warranty. All others have lifetime warranty but need to be installed by a dealer for the warranty.
I have installed many different makes and models of alarms from Codealarm, Clifford, Excaliber, Bull Dog, AudioVox, AutoPage just to name a few. All of the others seem to have their quirks. Remember, DEI didn't become the #1 rated electronics company in the world by mistake |

Dei
DEI is the best. Are you trying to protect expensive audio? If so DEI or the AutoPage. Clifford matrix is DEI and affordable. The Avital 3300 by DEI is the same unit but cheaper in price. The autopage is $75.00-$100.00 more but worth it. Look the autopage up. It is a complete alarm. Most others do not come with battery back up, motion sensors,dual shock sensors,temp, remote start, and to much more to list. I am a retired car thief so I know. Take my advice and fork out the money for something good.

What you comparing here? My cost on the most expensive DEI unit is just shy of $200. THe most expensive of AUtopage is about $119. Yes, the Autopage is an OK unit but doesn't hold a lick to DEI stuff. You can get all those options you listed and more like 2-way remotes and you can even get you car to call you when you have someone messing with the car. They are now shipping GPS so if your ride is snatched, you'll know where it went. DEI hasn't been rated #1 for over 10 years by accident. |

Overall the Autopage is not a bad unit. The weak link is the remotes. They can be hard to figure out to some customers and seem to only last about 2 years. They remind me of the Code Alarm units I gave up on. |

http://www.epinions.com/auto-Securit...splay_~reviews http://www.epinions.com/auto-Securit...ed_Electronics Now, I know there is only a few reviews of Codealarm stuff but there are plenty of DEI stuff. Prelude... Yes there are some that work very well. It all depends in what kind of vehicle you are installing it into. Also, if you have varing weather conditions like -10 in winter and 95+ in summer, the field will tend to grow and shrink. Because of this, I suggest getting an alarm that you can either adjust this via remote or have the ability to turn it on or off with the remotes for best performance. |

Re: Best Affordable Car Alarm
I am using simple car alarm which is one of the most recognized names in vehicle security and remote start systems, Providing vehicle protection & convenience. You can't be in or around your car all the time. This car alarms system allows you to have peace of mind knowing your car is resting safely.
