Retrofitting newer remote in UrS and alarms

Igor and I have discussed this mod- retrofitting the
"new" switchblade keys to the older RF system.

Unfortunately, it does not work well, from what Igor
has found. The old system has a strong transmitter in
the key and an insensitive receiver in the car. The new
system has a weak transmitter in the key and a very
sensitive receiver in the car. When you combine the newer
key type with the old receiver, you get the worst of both
worlds.

I think putting the new type receiver in the car would
require a lot of work, probably not worth it.

I'd like to put even the IR system that the V8 had into
my car, but that would still be a lot of work. I guess
I will put an alarm in the car- any suggestions from those
well-versed in automotive security systems? Anyone know how
difficult it would be to properly install an alarm system
in my '91 200q? I want something with a dual-stage shock
sensor, intrusion sensors for hood, trunk and all four
doors, keyless lock/unlock, and a single-tone siren (not
that annoying multi-tone stuff).
