First you should decide how much you want to spend versus quality. There are some good units out there and some "not so good" units. I see your in PA, how close are you to Buffalo, NY. I can get you a deal on a compustar from Innovative tuning, I'm the installer there. For the 2W900FM-AS (alarm with remote start) unit I can install it for $400. Compustar is probably the best unit out there. As far as your locks, all 1st and 2nd gen tiburons don't have actuators in the drivers door, so one needs to be installed. If you don't want to go with a compustar, I would suggest getting any one of the DEI brand units.

I wanted to get a compustar but no one around here sells them, so I'll probably get a viper. has keyless. and isn't too expensive. I think it was 350 installed at a local place here with acuator and some other sensor upgrades (I think it was a remote sensor rather than just a built in one.)
