I've got a proximity sensor on my alarm system on the YJ. It's got pros and cons alike, but definately worth having in my book. I don't use it all the time, but find it to be a good "piece of mind" in mall parking lots or downtown at night. MuddyOval is right, it can get set off by mistake, but if you get one with a warning feature (like I have) it just sets off 4 chirps and then resets. It only goes off if you get really close (like put your hand in the truck) or if you keep going with movement towards the vehicle. Movement of the softop from heavy wind makes it chirp every once in a while, but that's it. Keeping valuables (even loose change) out of sight is almost just as effective. Between that and the alarm nobody usually bugs you. My jeep got broken into twice before the alarm and I had nothing inside! Since I've put the alarm in, I haven't had any trouble (going on 4 years now).
