Looking for a good security system for my F-150

I keep a lot of valuables in my truck. Just looking for a really good security system. Price doesn't matter. Thanks
+ I do not want that gay alarm siren that ricers have. Just a regular alarm sounding by honks is good unless anyone has a good suggestion

You should get one with a pager. Helps out a lot when you are inside a building, away from your vehicle.

I would but i don't want **** all over the interior. And he wouldn't be able to get out to attack if, for instance, a rock was thrown at my truck.

A pager? Any specific brand and features I should be looking for?
Thanks again.

I have a Marksman. A pager that tells when someone bumps the vehicle, when the alarm goes off, if someone breaks the glass, if someone attempts to jack it up, if the door handles are lifted, and stuff like that. It's really sensitive....almost too sensitive...it goes off at the slightest vibration.

Go with a Viper alarm system. I got mine with the two-way paging system and remote start. Viper makes a high-quality product and it won't break your bank account either. You can modify the system for sensitivity and add extras like wheel sensors and stuff. I definately recommend.

Yup, I've got the same one. They look great and have an amazing distance. The only down-fall I've found is that they like to eat AAA batteries when you use the remote start a lot!

Backlight? Can you take a picture of it? Do you know how to set it like that?

Take off the little holster thing off the back and press and hold that button on the bottom right till it beeps then press the unlock key and wait till it beeps twice.
