Default

yes, it requires some sort of interface module, but thats just how it goes.
actual parts they install on your car are:
1 the 'brain' of the alarm
2 interface module
3. tilt sensor/audio glass break sensor (i also asked for a trunk release as well on the
remote and they didn't charge me, so its definintely possible)
4. the viper smart start interface

the install seemed to have gone well. Just check your windows when they are done. make sure they both go up and down, and go AUTO up and down when you press them all the way down/up. Also make sure that the window pops up and down 1/4 inch like its supposed to. There was an issue with that when i went to leave, but i caught it, turned around, and they fixed it.

Pros:
1. knowing that no one messed with my car if my phone didn't go off
2. Knowing that no one can jack up my car (unless they are liike an expert and very slow and smooth, which is unlikely, because they'd be in a rush) without the alarm going off.
3. confirmation that your car is locked/unlocked from far away
4. smart start:if i want to make sure my doors are locked from anywhere, i can. Also if you don't have your keys on you, and need to get something out of your car you can just use your phone (i've done this a bunch of times when going to leave in a friends car)

cons:
price
