Default Alarm

Hello everyone. Some outstanding citizen tried to steal my beloved C5 from the local Home Dept. The you know what destroyed the drivers side door lock, the door handle and trim plate. Also scratched up the drivers door. The insurance is paying for it. My question is this, is there an alarm that can be installed that will not interfere the the corvettes electronics? My son has one on his Charger that beeps real loud when someone gets real close to the car. It seems to work fairly well. Any suggestions??

All aftermarket alarms I have seen are a piggyback style system meaning they just tie into the factory wires and all factory items still operate. I have being installing alarms for about 10 yrs now had I would recommend a system from DEI which includes Viper, Python, Hornet and Avital to name a few.
