	depends on your insurance co.

	rearms itself automatically.
	e.g.  you get in your car and puch the magic button so
	you can start your car.  When you get to your destination
	and stop the car the system rearms itself without you having
	to do anything.  Ususally there is some delay so you can
	get out of the car without setting off an alarm.

>   (c) which systems are easy to install by me with a drill and wire clippers?

	most of the cheaper ones (< $150).  By the way, these are
	also the ones that are easy to remove by an amature thief.
	If it dont have a Chapman type lock, forget it.
