I've got it on my 07 coupe.

It's a feature you don't use.

Pro's: Good chance you'll get your car back. Slight discount on my insurance.

Con's: You don't use it.

Got one through the dealer for my G. They came to my job and installed it. It's good to have, sense of security. Only thing I do not like is the little device that has to stay on your keychain. it's like a sensor, but looks like a keyfob.

^^^That's cool.

Got mine @ Dealer + early warning upgrade + policy if not retrived in 24hrs, I get $$$.

It is a sense of security. That extra fob is a pita, but the system hidden on your car has to see that fob so it knows it's cool sensing your car moving.
Without it and car moving, it'll set it off cuz it figures it got stolen.
AAA Insuance doesn't give discount for this system, at least not in Nor Cal

Ive got it on my car, its a complete waste of 700 bucks IMO. I dont think I get a discount on my insurance because of it, I wish I did. I should call and find out.

I don't have a key fob for mine. and the car runs just fine.

If my car is stolen, I call a number with the code and they then track it. I can't see paying for their early warning system. If you get an alert, your car is probably gone by then anyways.
