I voted for option 1 also. I think that with the warranty and the convenience it is a much better deal. I don't know what your area is like with crime but if it was me where I live I wouldn't bother with an alarm, just keep your car locked and the tint would definitely help. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with everything.
