Is the alarm system that comes optional on the Protege 5 a decent system? or is it better to buy one from a retail store? What does the alarm system have as far as features? I couldnt find anything on the alarm system anywhere, so if anyone know, please help tnks...

 

I dunno if it is part of the alarm, but what is the little connector under the steering wheel?

 

well there's one mans opinion. the biggest issue(for me) is when
aftermaket alarms are installed, the installer(usually a hack) cuts
and taps and butchers your harness. then when you have an electrical problem and your car is still under warranty, guess what? Mazda won't cover it. they say take it to who installed it.
so the best thing i could say is use your best judgement and see
what alot of other owners have. me: Mazda factory alarm.
