JohnnyOhh Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just to do a sanity check here... No car audio stickers on your car/brand names on your car? No speakers you can see through the windows? Turn the stereo down when you are close to home or when you are getting close to destination. Make sure you cover the basics. An alarm by itself is only going to help so much if you can still see your gear or if you advertise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadcicle Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'd suggest the smartphone addon with whatever you get. You will run in to having to replace one of the FOB's and find out that the color screens ones make you wish you never got the alarm to begin with when you see their price. Even the regular FOB's can be up there in price at 150 bucks+. The smartphone option has you pay a yearly nominal fee that isn't actually too bad. You can always add that module on later and in most installs doesn't require actually hooking any more wires up as it's usually a plugin module.

An alarm by itself is only going to help so much if you can still see your gear or if you advertise it. Correct to nearly all the above. Only correction I can make is yes, you can see the subs (well could see) the subs through the rear window if you looked at it at the right angle. I don't have tinted windows past stock (~80%) because my wife thinks it's an invitation to a thief that I'm hiding something. I have been trying to convince her for some time now, once I get the alarm ima find a way to tint as well though.

I don't want to pay a yearly expense for my alarm, and that way if a fob takes a crap on me I'm not out too much money.

afrakes Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Besides I don't have a fob right now so it would be nice to have one. I do like the smartphone configuration, just not all that important to me.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 The shitty fobs can be programmed to the nice alarms if your nice fob ever takes a crap. Most alarms come with one of each kind of fob anyways. I'm also against paying the yearly fee and it's really not that cheap, I got quoted $200 a year That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
