All this talk about thieves has really got me worried. (Knock on wood), out of the 20-something cars I've owned, never once have I ever had one broken into. However, I do live relatively close to East St. Louis, and travel even closer regularly.
The teener has a decent JVC detachable face CD player, and a really nice set of Infinity Kappa component speakers. When the teener is out, the roof is usually off, which worries me. But will an alarm go off if someone just hopped in and started taking stuff? The Acura however, has a $600 Pioneer head unit (8500 model), Rockford Fosgate speakers, and will soon be getting 2 amplifiers and a subwoofer box. It has nothing but the factory alarm. QUESTION: Suggestions on what to buy (if anything) for both of them?????? --Matt |

for both ? Rottweiler ...
there are high-end alarm systems that have ultrasonic intrusion / motion sensors. but i don't think you could pull anything from the dash of a 914 without opening a door; door sensors are easier. there's a reason front and back trunk and glovebox lock with the ignition key on open cars ... |

I recommend the interior sensor, never hurts. Just adjust the sensitivity so it sets the alarm off if it detects right next to the car...not anything within 10' like a lot of the stupid kids do around here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |

some systems have an optional sensor. i had a system that had a two way remote. i could actually make it a silent alarm that alerts the remote and a diplay showing which switch or sensor activated the alarm.
