I was also looking at upgrading my alarm for the convertible (existing one is very temperamental and came with the car with only one remote). I was considering the Uniden 2600VX - 5 star. Have seen these on TM at the moment from a dealer in CHCH - going for $160 buy now/offered. I want one with 2 immobilisers and a siren that doesn't go through every emergency sound in the book... would prefer an alarm sound with only one noise (not 8+).

Guest Rick James Report post Posted November 6, 2007 You need an alarm in tandem with other counter measures; Change the stickers to a different brand, so stop pimply faced installers coming over and pinching it because they know how to wire a uniden but not a mongoose. Have a cabin mounted siren so its bloody loud if they're inside the car. Run kill switches in unusual places (one in the bonnet for example). Have all black wiring (no brainer). Look into security film that is shatterproof. Have an imobiliser (bosch do them) that is linked to a transponder on your keys, so regardless of whether the car is unlocked or not, the car ain't starting unless the keys are within 5ft. I'm sure others will have suggestions too - this is a war, and its okay to play sneaky with these f**kers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
