Please recommend a car alarm.

These are features I'm looking for:
- affordable
- that it closes windows when I leave the car
- [not necessary] paging feature (with around least 300m range)
- [not necessary] remote engine start (I need to heatup the engine at least
5 minutes before driving, so a remote start would come in handy
- [not necessary] easy to install

Thanks.

Just about any alarm on the market will do what you need with the right
add-ons. I would worry a LOT more about the installation quality than the
alarm itself.

i dont wanna sound like a prick... but, i are you aware how pointless
it is to run your car for 5 minutes before driving it? A car is
warmed up after like 2 min TOPS. I get -40C weather here...and there
is yet to be a need to let a car runt hat long. Perhaps you need a
new heater core??? Must be awful expensive to burn that much gas.

Unless you got some serious mods to your car...and your turbo must be
a certin temperature before raising rpms.... ?

A friend told me that heating the engine for 5 minutes will help it live
longer (it need 5 minutes for oil to get to right temperature and right
aggregate state, which is important) and that a car burns much more gas if
driven before working temperature is accomplished.

I'm not and an engineer, so if I'm wrong please correct me.

PS Here where I live lowest temperature is around -10C (and that is not very
often) and the engine has no modification.

Thanks.

I dont want to be cold for 2 minutes, I want it toasty right now
