Hi, Ricardo
I've got a Duramax and a custom Sonoma. Both are equipped with black widow systems with window up modules, and autostarts. The alarm system has a paging feature, good for about 1/4 mile. The feedback system beeps you for lock, unlock, and to confirm autostart. It also beeps if the system is triggered. It won't keep someone from breaking in, but it will notify you immediately if you're within range.
I did a cross country trip last year - did about 10000 miles, from the west coast, through Chicago,getting as far as Knoxville, and back on I 40 through California and back up the west coast, mostly towing a boat. If I was concerned about where I was parking overnight, I pulled the starter relay from the underhood fusebox. Even if someone broke in, and had the balls to try to start the truck with the alarm going, I don't think they would stick around long enough to diagnose a missing part under the hood. It's a bit of a pain, but for the 30 seconds it's going to take, easier than scouring the countryside looking for your beloved toy.
One caution on the alarm system - it's not a do it yourself job - get a shop that knows their systems. I had the alarm in a 01 and 02, but when we swapped it to the 03, it was a major project to get it working right - needed a module from Black Widow to interface with the mickey mouse GM alarm system.
