Thanks for the help, guys. I actually did ask the dealer to demonstrate, but when I got there they told me right away that there was no alarm, and that they don't even have anything they could install; when I went there in person, I got the guy who sold us the car and knew what he was talking about, whereas when I called on the phone, I got whoever happened to be walking by at that exact second and probably had no idea what the answer was. I probably spoke to the janitor on the phone.
So I took the car to Circuit City to have a standard alarm put in and when I got it back yesterday, I drove maybe a mile or two and the trunk warning light came on; we had opened the hatchback when the guy was showing us how it worked, so I didn't think anything of it. So I got out, closed the trunk, and went on my way. Another block or so, it came on again. So I closed the trunk again, got back in, and then it happened before I could even get out of the parking lot I was in.
So I took it straight back to Circuit City to have them fix it, and I'm going to check on it now.
It's not really a big deal, but I'm leaving on a long road trip tomorrow afternoon, so I need it done right by then. Nothing goes smoothly when you have deadlines to meet.
