Security ideas

In my infinite wisdom I have lost my remote for my immobiliser and can't start my car. I have no idea what immobiliser it has as it came with the car. As i'm needing to replace everything anyway, can anyone suggest a good alarm system?

    Cheers Danny, much appreciated.  I'm currently in Sydney :(  
    I just had a look at the Mongoose M80S and it looks the goods and there is a stockist here in Sydney that is selling it for around $450, does that sound about right?  I have a fear that it (my current set up) will run down the battery as it's been sitting still for about a week or so now. 
     
    I may have to get the NRMA to tow it to my mechanics

    IF it's a SW20 I think that these are an old Alpine system.
     
    You should be able to get a mobile alarm installer to come out and install the new alarm to your car, or at least bypass your one so you can get it to their shop, no need to go to a mechanic.

    It is an SW20.  I forgot to mention that. I still need to get the alarm first I'm guessing.  If there is a mobile guy that can bypass it so that I can drive it to the shop it would be good.  I'm useless at electrics otherwise i would try to do it myself

    Some very cool smart phone compatible tracking alarms out there now. Getting cheap too, around the $300 mark (supply your own sim card). Full control from the phone, proximity locks, remote start, active contact alarms etc. 
     
    I know that's what I'll be looking at next.
