2000 Honda Civic

1997 Ford F150 Series

I have vehicles coming to my shop quite frequently that have problems with aftermarket alarms/anti-theft systems. The installers of these systems on late model vehicles especially really don't know sometimes what wires to hook these systems to.

This causes problems because of the nature of the electrical systems on modern vehicles. Voltage on any given circuit is critical and the way they hook these systems up interferes with the way the vehicle was designed to work. I have to remove these systems and repair the damage done most of the time. This isn't always the case and I can't offer a solution other than the stock anti-theft systems. I use a steering lock. If you want a system that makes your nieghbors hate you and that most people ignore than get one of those.

I seem to remember a news show that reported an extreme case in New York a few years ago where they placed a vehicle in a suburban setting and set the alarm off on purpose to see what would happen. The result was the vehicle sustained about 40 gunshots, that's right people shot the car and not one person came out to see what the problem was.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14689002 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 23:10:38 EDT Re: Best car alarm system? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14688386 tallguy11 : i have this car alarm »www.xscargo.com/product.php?dept···em=2001I

yes, this is the point i'm trying to get across. No matter what you have to protect your car, if they want it, they'll take it. I'm hoping people who buy alarms and such will realize that a lot of it only provides a false sense of security.

Many years ago I used to have a silent alarm and pager until I was awoken at 5am by 2 guys breaking into my van. I confronted them with a nickle plated 9mm Smith and Wesson and as they ran away I fired a few shots at them. Then I realized what I had done and that I could go to prison if I hit one of them. Stupid move by me, but I was young and it was a knee-jerk reaction.

I suggest you get something like a Club which is visible to car thieves. If a thief was just looking for a ride to get drugs he will probably pass up the car with the Club and go to one without one. If the thief really wants your car there is nothing you can do because they will take it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14684947 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 10:56:43 EDT Re: Best car alarm system? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14684076 anwgo153 : are you peoples areas that bad sheehs? or is your car just that good :hmm:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14684076 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 04:59:00 EDT Re: Best car alarm system? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14684000 Subaru :

Leaving the gear in 'Park' doesn't offer much resistance.

I'm sure for someone who has access to a flat-bed tow truck, they would have methods to bypass issues like the parking brake, clutch locks, alarms, steering-wheel locks, etc.

BTW, correct me if i'm wrong, but some flat-bed tow trucks come with winches. No need to push, just pull the car onto the bed.

But if the car has an automatic transmission, how do you get it out of park without pushing the brake? And if you can't get out of park, how can the car be pushed onto the truck?

The Unbreakable AutoLock X simply locks up the brake or clutch Pedal, making your car or truck impossible to drive. Guaranteed! The Unbreakable AutoLock X's solid steel deadbolt lock system is virtually drill-proof, cut-proof and freon-proof, under normal circumstances and use.

BRAKE vs. STEERING WHEEL
The Unbreakable AutoLock X uses the brake pedal or clutch pedal arm because their thick solid steel construction makes them one of the strongest parts of your vehicle and virtually impossible to cut. Steering wheel locks are typically bars that attach to the steering wheel & prevent it from turning. Most steering wheels are made of thin metal & foam because they are designed to bend out of the driver's way in an accident. A car thief can easily cut the steering wheel using a bolt cutter or hacksaw, remove the steering wheel lock & steal the vehicle.

The model is a APS-596, it was close to 200$.

I have the sensitivity set to about 1/2 way and have never had a false positive, not even the open piped Harleys set it off.

It's real nice though...you can have it trigger many many things remotely if you require it.
It'll start your vehicle remotely, of course open the doors, and can be made to open the trunk remotely (along with like 3 other items of your choosing).
It does have a function that the insurance company loves...it auto locks the doors upon vehicle start and unlocks as soon as you shut it off.

I'd post pics of the remote, but my digicam battery is dead right this second.

BTW, it came with a blue LED for the dash instead of the common red.....nice since my interior is blue :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14678993 Fri, 28 Oct 2005 13:57:10 EDT Re: Best car alarm system? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14678929 flawlessly : LOL, no I actually saw someone has a keychain with a little screen which tells you what the status of your car.
