If you want warranty coverage, it has to be bought and installed by an authorized dealer. This alarm has a lot of options at an additional cost such as glass sensor, tow sensor, window roll up and down, GPS tracking, etc.. Excellent system

Some guys are DIY'rs, but when it comes to alarms, I leave it to the professionals.

Warranty on the alarm is not valid unless it's installed by an authorized dealer. That's the reason why you are paying the extra loot, if you're not concerned about the warranty, then it's an easy DIY project (you can buy the alarm for under $200).
