| 1132324 | 2010-08-28 12:21:00 | i looked into a dyantron gps alarm before, given the extra cost and the monthly ongoing costs for most people that may not work out. even a alarm system, personally i don't know anyone close who has a proper alarm system. they may only be key button access but not alarm. i say put it in the garage and buy comprehensive insurance. |

| 1132325 | 2010-08-28 12:32:00 | I saw that project a while back, that's a time-lapse photo :( albeit it does look cool! Nah, I'd rather attach the (distributor) coil output to the drivers-seat spike. Oh, and put a big ol' barb on it. Edit; project site is http://tesladownunder.com/ if anyone's interested. Yeah I know, it's a good site. But now you've ruined the impressiveness of the photo... :lol: |

| 1132326 | 2010-08-28 14:22:00 | In my situation, my car is usually parked in the back yard, blocked in by a few other cars up the drive. I still spent $30 on an alarm from trademe. Insurance companies I have dealt with don't care for no name alarms. All they care about is the star rating on them. Be careful, if you told your insurance you had that and you don't, you won't get your payout. If any thief wants my stereo, they're welcome to it. Jap factory, with no band expander, doesn't like CD-Rs, or 90% of pressed discs. Good luck getting more than $5 for it. I ain't afraid so much of them stealing my stereo as I am of them breaking my window and ripping my dash apart to get at the stereo. |

| 1132327 | 2010-08-28 14:24:00 | It all depends on how much you want to protect the vehicle. The alarm i had was pretty good. It had immobilizer, fuel cut, transponder (the alarm remote has to be near the ignition or the car won't start), shock sensor, microwave sensor (any movement within the car will set off the alarm, so thieves can't stay inside the car and keep working), tilt sensor (a must if you have nice wheels), 2nd battery to backup the entire alarm system. Make sure the installer is a professional, most of them will install the siren under the hood which is BAD. I had two external sirens and five house alarm screamers (3 hidden at the front cabin, 2 at the back/boot area, when the alarm goes off, it is impossible to stay inside the car at all without blocking your ears). It maybe overkill , but ... |
