Default Cobra alarm fitment booked, any thoughts?

My car is booked in next week to get the following system installed, any thoughts/experiences/warnings/advice before I cough up the £350 quoted?

Make sure they know what they are doing on Porsches... if you want to have the flashers operate when the alarm goes off; many times if not re-wired correctly it will make your normal blinker function not work properly. Battery back up is pretty nice extra option; a bad guy can pop the bonnet disconnect the single battery and load your Porsche onto a trailer and the alarm only went off for about 15 seconds if the thief is good.

You could get a remote start feature... nothing cooler than switching your car's engine on before you unlock and get to the door. I know it's childish! There's also an app that will start the engine, unlock doors.... !

This alarm's brochure offers "Includes Speed Limit Alert & Panic Functionality" What does that mean?
