Most important features are 2-way and range. Other than that, the most important feature as Coomer said is the install. It needs look as factory as possible, that means electric taped and then loomed and also zip-tied to the factory wiring. A few installs I've done, I've actually undone the factory looming under the steering wheel and then ziptie and e-tape to it, then loom it again. Looks so slick and there is no way to tell where the brain is. If you want to use up a full day doing it then do that, otherwise just do a e-taped and loomed install. If you don't take the time to make it look as sleek as possible then don't bother getting an alarm.
