The DIY way sort of has 2 options:

1) Buy aftermarket, and install it yourself. I recommend this for any sort of security device, unless you trust the installer with your first born. I have this uneasy thought that if I let someone else do it, then some random person knows exactly what's in my car and how to get around it.

2) The much harder option: Build it from scratch yourself... but unless you know what an LM2940 is, understand designing circuit boards and opto-isolation then this is not the route for you.

Something with a keypad like the brant is always a good idea so if they get your keys, they don't automatically have your car.
