I installed an "auto page 4000" in my scirocco, and I've found it to work
quite well.  It has a four watt transmitter, and the smallest pager of
simular systems.  Cost was $120.00 for the xmitter, reciever, two resonant
sensors, and installation parts.  The unit automatically turns on every
time you turn off the car.  I have not yet found the limit of its effective
range.  It works over a several block distance, and into metal buildings
quite well.  Hopefully I will never hear the beeper go off when I do not
expect it to.  I can tell you that the system is great for some peace of
mind when you are parked in a bad part of town.  I don't know if the auto
page is the best system, but it certainly works quite well, and has a good
warranty.
