Car Alarm\keyless entry 96 integra

[Sid77]

My first question is has anybody put an aftermarket alarm/keyless entry on there integra and how hard was it.
My second question is did it drop your insurance rates at all having an alarm?

I got my car stolen in march, so about... april? I put on an alarm once I got it back. I had them install the main part(too many wires, plus its something I wanted done right), $40 or so. Then it was $55 for keyless entry, but they couldn't do it for some reason. I got home, and within a few days I got pissed, so I just hooked it up myself. No problems yet.
My cheap ass insurance company said its just a deterent, so they didnt lower anything. What bullshit, I hate insurance companies, theyre crooks.

It's real easy. Anyone with half a clue on this car will know what to do. Some insurance companies will give a small discount. I know most like DEI alarms. Plus, with DEI, they will pay your whole deductable if your car is stolen. The key to this with both DEI and insurance companies is to have a "passive" arming alarm. This means that it will arm itself after you close all the doors.

My deductible was $50 bucks, big deal. Its the shit inside you gotta worry about. I have Allstate by the way, but apparently they're giving us good deals for other reasons. It is kind of easy to install, but like I said, I just had a professional do it, I wanted it done ASAP.
