My personal opinion is that Lojack is better protection.
Our cars are already equipped with starter interrupt - unless you supply the key with the transponder matching what is programmed into the ECU, the car won't start. Anyone who can defeat that won't be slowed down by any alarm you have installed. Nobody pays attention to car alarm sirens anymore. What else does getting your wiring cut up to install the alarm do for you?
With Lojack you have a chance of getting your car found. At worst they may flatbed it to another neighborhood, park it and see if the PoPo discover it with - but you get your car back.
Although retail is $650, we have gotten ours installed at dealers, $400 is about the cheapest I have heard and $450 has been the cheapest I have gotten.
Unfortunately Scott Robinson Honda did the one for my s, they put (3) dings and one (1) small dent in my car when they did it. If though we were new-car customers from them, they refused to own up to it, thoroughly and crudely insulted me, and lost my new-car business in the process - so I wouldn't recommend them to change my wiper blades. Other dealers have been nicer.
