Lojack can be put in many different places in all kinds of vehicles, so there isn't one place where a thief can look to remove it. You don't put stickers on your car announcing you have it. Basically the thief finds out when he sees the flashing lights in your rearview mirror.
I am going to have to agree with this. Also I HAVE looked at the wiring diagrams and all there is almost no way to integrate a aftermarket alarm to your factory one. The only thing I see that can be done is getting something like a viper 5901 and running dedicated power to it and still have the siren. The unlock and lock sensor would probably still work from what I see as the alarm can have either a + or a - signal coming from the locks. Also I would get a field sensor the will make the alarm go into WARN mode when someone gets near it. As soon as they get to close than it will go off. Also the shock sensor is always a good thing to have. I have a on and off opinion about installing a alarm in this car. Yes it is nice to have extra protection but that is worthless if you have a 800 dollar laptop and a 250 dollar ipod laying in plain sign in the trunk or on the seat. From what I see it would take me at least 3 days to install one the right way and make sure everything works. I have seen some bad alarm installs over the years and if it is as bad as the ones I have seen that it is not even worth getting one installed. So in the end do yourself a favor just use common sense and dont lay stuff out in the open especially around the holidays.
I am not showing you my work to get business just showing you that there is a right and a wrong way to install these systems.

One of the installs I REDID for someone.



The brain was relocated in the trunk somewhere.
