So in regards to my previous thread about whether or not to go ahead with the purchase of a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport... I Did! And so far I'm loving it.
One question for you guys though. I'm looking into add-on accessories now. In particular a theft alarm. All the vehicle has for anti-theft is a coded key feature. So my question then is, how easy would it be to buy an alarm either 3rd party or Ford approved and have it coexist with everything else? Is there some sort of factory made installation area for an alarm option in this vehicle? I would like to avoid any huge installation job in putting an alarm in. It would also be nice to keep the same keyless entry keyfob functionality and have the coded key feature still work as well.
It doesn't really need to be any sophisticated 2way system, etc. Just something basic that honks the horn if doors are tampered with, etc, etc.
Any suggestions?
