Hey. I just bought a 2003 Evo on the 20th and today was my first day driving it with insurance anyways, I was wondering if it has a stock alarm on it?

I rolled the window down and locked it with my keyless entry, reached in and unlocked the door from the inside, and opened the door. Nothing happened. I know it comes with an anti-theft though, but where's the alarm?!

Anyways, thanks for your time

 

i believe they don't come with alarm, i also have an 03. it just comes with an keyless entry.

 

Like hang187 said, no alarm. It has an engine immobilizer, which means the key has a chip in it which is coded to the ECU. so even with a copy of the key the car will not start without the programmed chip. however, somehow people can bypass this by swapping the ecu or something. From what I read the most common alarm is the Viper 791XV. Another common brand is Compustar.

 

thanks a lot for the help

Still kinda learning a little bit bout the Evo

 

it doesnt have a alarm trust me i wish it did before some moron stole my stock stereo ... yeah

 

the car will start and run without a chipped or programmed key... for about 2 seconds before it shuts it off. that's our wonderful immobilizer system. and no, swapping ecu's will not bypass the immobilizer.

 

The Evo doesn't have an Alarm, it has a immobilizer which just senses a chip in your key and allows you to start the car by grounding the MFI relay.

 

no alarm. I'd get one installed though since these things are always getting stolen. It would def be worth the money
