Everything you can afford to get. As for installation, I don't trust any shop. They're the one installing, so they can always go back to your house and jack your stuff easily.
I would suggest you or some friend you trust to perform the installation. Relocate a back up battery, ignition kill switch, fuel cut-off switch, etc...
In my opinion Proximity sensors are not worth it and may lead to vandalism.
My friend had them, it kept beeping. One day some fool threw huge ass rocks and dented the quarter panels. A week later, I suspect the same fool came back with a pellet rifle gun and shot a few pellets on the hood and side. All the damages were worth over 3,000.

I didnt mean I dont trust them.. like.. they will steal stuff. I know they wont do that. I just dont trust there actual install skills. I am not really worried about the cars theft... its COMPLETLEY stock. Why anyone would risk stealin it I have no clue.

i do alarms on the side.. PM me and we can talk more about it... iwill give the best price around and you can watch me to learn a thing or toOo .... just let me know..... and yes most bestbuys an cc dont know what they are doing and they make it so easy to find the brain of the alarm and the valet button its pointless.. ha ha

the backupbatt is just ran in a series with the 12v constan and hooked to aaditional negatie input sensor (blue wire) which is usually the trunk or hood triggger
