I have a 2006 VUE and would like to have a back up alarm installed.
Saturn does not do it. Any suggestions?

Is that in case your regular alarm doesn't prevent the car from being
stolen? (joke)

Try one of those car stereo places. They install back-up/reverse alarms,
remote starts, LCD tv's, etc, etc....

Something like this would be easiest. It is a bulb with an alarm built in -
you just plug it in in place of your existing backup bulbs:

Yes this can work but there is no big science to installing one.
Simple mount it where you want it, attach one wire to ground and and
splice the other into the backup light circuit and you are all set.

They have backup alarms built into after market bulbs.

Please don't do it. Those things are annoying as hell. It's your
responsibility to know what's behind you. Don't make it someone else's.

What is annoying about it? I think it is not a bad idea because not
everyone look for pedestrians in a parking lot.

Giving a warning is not the other persons responsibility.I had a
license plate frame with a built in beeper,ws dorky at first,but it
saved me from craning my head all over.Dad asked if I got a insurance
discount on it!.
