Drop the right amount of money on me and I'll sit inside your car with a 12 ga shotgun.....one gunshot means the "alarm" has been activated!!!

Sorry, haven't had my coffee quota yet this morning.....[sm=morning.gif]

If you have done a lot of wiring and are good at then it will be a piece of cake. But If you haven't done much wiring or wiring scares you take your car some place and have an alarm installed in the end you would probably be much happier if you had one installed. Most of the time it doesn't cost much more to have one installed and its not really worth the headache.

Honestly, whats even the point of an alarm? Locks and alarms only keep honest people out. If someone wants your **** bad enough, they're going to get it. Not worth the money in my opinion.

I agree if the want it bad enough they can pull up with a sneaky pete and have you car goin down the road in less than 10 secs. But I personally would intall myself, most of the places that istall them they are right under the steering wheel or passenger dash, and very easy to get at. A little off topic, I read that in Japan/China somethin like that they have an alarm that has no siren or warning light or anything, all it does is when someone tries to start the car "illegally" the system locks the doors and rolls up the windows automaticlly, then start the motor and starts pumping exhuast gas into the car, I heard their theft rate was very low. HHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM?????????

that would be cool but with this liberawl society, and ACLU giving more rights to the criminal than the victims, that would never be aloud here.

I know that but it would still be nice, although a little scary to come out to the car to goto work in the morning and say "Honey we got another one." Then again I am sure a dead guy in the car is a good excuse for being late.
