I installed a similar alarm. Compustar two way paging. I can control it from quite far away, and it alerts me if anything is happening with my car. They claim like 1.25 mile range. I don't quite get that far, but it's still significant. Best investment ever. No microwave here. Don't give people a reason to damage your car by warning them for "getting too close." I have a two stage shock sensor so minor stuff will chirp a few times to say "Hey, knock it off". But those cars that chirp just because you walk past them are /begging/ to be keyed, or worse. -Ryan --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Video Bob" <videobob@xxxx> wrote: > Wow bro, that really sucks and I feel for you. > This bugs me because any thief would do the same thing. > There is no way to use a "slim jim", and no real way to get in other than > smashing the window > and chances are they would never figure out how to get in after that. > > I have mentioned here on the list about how my car was fingered to death at > the > Huey Lewis concert, and I love to take the car to downtown Dallas at go bar > hopping > but I have to keep a constant eye on my car. > > First they step close and touch some part of the car to see if it is "real". > Then they knock on the fender to hear the "tone" of the metal. > Next thing you know they are sitting on the hood or fender getting > thier picture taken with some ones crappy cell phone! > One a-hole actually opened my door, got it and posed for the picture. > I was THIS CLOSE to shoving my Berreta up his XXX. > > So today I visited with my buddies at "Crank It Up" car audio here in Fort > Worth > about the ultimate alarm. > The one I am looking at will be about $600 or so when I am done. > It will have what was described as "microwave" zones. > If you get too close or look inside it will "chirp". > If the inside pressure is changed such as opening the door or breaking the > glass > the alarm will blare. > Hopefully the "chirping" will let them know that there is an alarm and they > will > think twice about doing it. > The alarm will also send you a page to your remote control to let you know > what is going on. > The two way paging system will let you start the car, lock unlock, etc.... > It will confirm each function and can even be set with a timer to do some of > these > functions automaticly. > > I am not sure who makes this kit, but it doesn't matter because any major > car shop can > install these. > If you have a daily driver, a REAL alarm like this essential for our cars. > You need to have an early warning system to let the perp know to leave the > car alone when they hear the chirp warnings. > > I will be installing this soon. > I hope you will too. > - Videobob > VIN#5278 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
