Default Car Deck installation question

With all the newer cars having stock anti-theft alarms, does this become void when a professional installs a new deck?

As some cars have the alarm built into the stock stereo.

What kind of car do you have? I believe a lot of the newer GM's you have to buy some sort of security harness (around $100 I think) to plug in otherwise you'll be getting check engine lights, etc. I have a Pontiac Vibe and was told I would need one but I didn't because it's basically a Toyota Matrix and doesn't share that security feature with the other GM's. On the other hand though I had to go back to the stock stereo because nobody seems to carry the proper dash kit to make the new headunit fit. It would fit in fine but wasn't angled properly so there were large gaps everywhere and the trim piece wouldn't go back in the dash.
