Hey guys im not to sure on what i should get installed. I have a python remote start alarm, but i have heard many different horror stories on getting these installed. So whats your guys' take on these alarms, anybody know of a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy that is knowledgeable enough in this field? or should i just sell it and get a factory alarm? LMK what you guys think thanks guys!!

i got my crappy skytec installed in concord. It works. The remote start works but there is no switch.. so if its in gear... it will start in gear. The install was hella jetto.

im not worried about it having a switch.. i dont ever leave my car in gear, so that would be fine... i was just worried about the wiring aspect of it, i dont want anything to go wrong in the long run, so if anybody knows of a reputable installer LMK...

what year is your wrx?
i believe 04 or later has neutral position wire. i installed my alarm on 05 sti plus ronald's (04/05 white wagon with green rims i think - he was one of the djs at the last BAM) with the neutral position wire and it works like a charm.
i say go with aftermarket and get it hooked up to the neutral position wire at the ecu.
as for good shops, custom car alarms in pleasant hill.
