let me know your thoughts on this and if any R32 owners have aftermarket alarms.... what sort? Pros & cons??

thanks all..
If your going to get an aftermarket alarm id recommended "Anti-Theft" or "Flashpoint" otherwise realistically its not necessary. You can add BEEP on lock and BEEP on unlock via VagCom as well as autolock doors as well.

Alternatively you can add sensors to the car such as shock, glass, tilt/tow, radar sensors to the stock alarm as well (Which is what ive done for my mk4 gti). I suggest if you havent gotten already auto window lifters (kvw100) or wire up your aftermarket alarm to raise your doors (4-6sec pulse it'll need i think for it) but otherwise the stock one is pretty good it covers you for boot, bonnet and doors with added sensors as mentioned you'll be quite well off.

(for the rec, i am an alarm tech by trade lol)

if you need any help/links with more info let me know
