Budget Alarm (Around $50)

[Alexdb7]

I picked up an alarm about a year ago from the local auto zone for somewhere around $50. Its a simple black box you mount under the hood with a positive and negative wire running out. simply hook it up to the battery and your done. how it works is off voltage changes. for instance, when you open the door, the dome lights come on(voltage change) it comes with 2 remotes that have 2 buttons on them. it has a shock sensor in the alarm but...if a harley thats loud enough goes by it gets set off ( if this is in a parking lot it becomes a boy who cried wolf kinda thing and people ignore it when someone finally does open the door) all you have to do it press arm then the second button on the remote and it turns this off. i leave the doors unlocked so people dont break the windows, the second they open the door it goes off. no broken windows nothing stolen for over a year now.

just thought id let you guys know about it.

hope this helps someone.

if they want in there going to get in...windows cost alot to replace and are just a hastle.

Yeah, but insurance should cover your windows. Plus, leaving your doors unlocked is like putting up fliers on every street corner that say, "My car has no alarm and a lot of expensive audio equipment, I dare you to try and steal it! My address is xxxx noalarm street N".

Thanks, but sorry, unless it can do this

There is no way I would leave the door unlocked.

The thief can jump in the car very quickly, and pop the hood and yank that alarm out easily.

hahahaha you do that around here they'll laugh, open your door, pop your trunk and walk with whatever they can grab, takes what 5 seconds?
