Hello,

I'm currently debating as to whether or not to spend the money on a car alarm for my 1998 es 300. I definitely want an alarm (my last car was stolen), however, getting quotes I keep hearing about bypassing the stock alarm. I know that this car has a chip in the key so I'm fairly secure that bypassing that would require a professional thief. I'm more worried about the contents in my car and the less than professional thief. The type that will break a window to get at something etc.

Does the stock alarm have shock sensing? Will it sound off if the doors are opened without a key? If a window is broken?

I'm a student and if the stock alarm will perform these features then I don't want to go and spend money that I could otherwise put to good use.

Any help is appreciated...I just can't seem to find any information online...

Thanks in advance!
