Stereo & Electronics - Car alarms???...

any suggestions on a good car alarm for my 99 T/A?? i just got broken into and about 30 original cds and my ipod were jacked...the ipod i can replace just fine but its my damned cds that hurt the most...so any suggestions on a quality car alarm?

You're worried about your cd's and not your car being stolen? Huh?

vyper all the way

Where did it get broken into? within 100 yards of your body?

My largest suggestion is dual zone motion sensors(about 135$ to add to any alarm), and a 2-way paging system.

Nothing can really stop a smash and grab, except keeping your shit out of view. But motion sensors(they chirp when someone gets within your desired range of the car), and a 2 way paging system helps alot for other types of thieves.

yeah more worried about the contents...they can jack my ride and i got insurance...pain in the ass but im covered...sometimes i have to leave expensive items in it or sometimes i forget...i want a bit of comfort...imma look into they viper...

Suggestion:

I always burn a copy of the CD's I buy, then keep the original at home. It makes for a huge box of CD's, but it's a security net that you should do.

I install and use Autopage units and have never once had any issue in the several cars I've done them in including my personal ones (and they are far cheaper than the equivalent viper alarms.) Look into the 855/860lcd or 725/720lcd. (I recommend the 720/725, chances are you will never use nor need the added outputs the 855/860 offers, etc...)

like said above, nothing will stop a bash and grap.... it happened to me (with my old camaro) in the mall parking lot, they slole my toolbox (500 bucks worth of specialty tool which i use for work) which i had sitting on the front seat :bang: but luckily i had an alarm and it scared them off before they took my indash monitor and my $1200 system....... i no longer keep anything in plain sight and i dont have my system any more (since i never used it anyways)....but if you want a good alarm i recomend a viper alarm


when somebody steals something from me its not the value of the stuff that was stolen..the thing that bothers me is that some lowlife scum will steal from hard working people and not think twice about it i take it personally.....

A car alarm isnt going to save your CD's. Think about it, once they smash a window, and hear an alarm, it would take another .5 seconds to grab a CD case or anything laying out. But the top of the line Viper 2 ways are nice, they let you know when its been tampered with at the receiver. I just tore out an AutoPage 2 way (didnt know if it worked, didnt have any transmitters) and the previous owner brought the transmitter by a few days later :bang: It had the whole deal too, microwave sensor and all.

clifford and viper are both awesome alarms I own both in my personal vehicles and install them everyday it all depends on price. Unless you step up the avantguard series in clifford them and viper are identical alarms since they are made by the same company.

I have a clifford, very nice.... but the key fob sucks battery big time....

i've got a viper as well...all the dei 2 way alarms are pretty much identical. you can add on motion sensors, and all kinds of other shit if you want. theyre pretty nice units, and if you look around online you can find them for half the price you'd pay at a store. i bought mine online and havent had any problems what so ever and paid no where near what it would have cost me otherwise
