whats a good alarm system? I'm not really into all that.. and I have no idea where to look... just need something that lets people know i have an alarm :-D and maybe a remote to it.. all doors\engine turnover\startup protection? (if that exists? don't know CRAP about alarms.. thanks again) :-D THANKS!

i prefer the Clifford alarms. they have worked for me and i will never go to another alarm system.

 

alarms are worthless in big cities. im from miami florida and alarms go off more than birds chirp. no one ever pays attention to an alarm going off.

 

umm i'm lazy whats a website for clifford alarm systems, and could someone tell me in lamans terms what the alarm system comes with that i will actually need or use.

 

http://www.clifford.com/

remote entry = unlocks and locks the doors with a remote
alarm = loud *** noises coming from your car
engine kill = disables the electronics so the car wont start
trunk open = open the trunk with a remote

thats about it. but like i said alarms are worthless, if you live in the right area you can get LoJack. http://www.lojack.com/

 

teh upper end DEI alarms should be good. and for ever1's reference DEI bought out clifford a while back and is part of DEI now

 

my friend has lojack in his car, but it still gets stolen. he can never find the car before it gets stripped.

 

now, he has added a titanium shift lock (on his automatic maxima) and it has'nt gotten stolen in about 5 months, it's been broken into, but hasn't been stolen.

 

i was just wondering what alarm systems are being used by some lancer forum members. and wanted to know if you are satisfied with your alarm?

 

I vote for clifford. Oh, and alarms are pretty useless, but security systems ARENT. they WILL keep your car from getting stolen. Thieves aren't going to call a tow truck to steal your car, and if you get a good security system, that'll be just about the only way it can be stolen. Nothing will keep a thief from getting what they want out of your car though. If they want your stereo, they'll have it (detachable faceplate helps ALOT there. Alot of car thieves wont bother with a car stereo they can't sell.). Definitely look into a high-end clifford system. Those are trusted by ALOT of people (including car thieves themselves...), and they are pretty much the best. Powerlock is another really good system. hope that helped.

 

thanks evoandy, i think i'll do some research on some clifford alarm systems.

 

How about The Club?

 

what about a factory built in alarm?
I know in Australia it is an option with the lancer.

Would this be any different to an aftermarket alarm or are these types of alarms all the same thing?

 

EZ, you are so right!! Anyways I prefer clifford!!

 

in new york city, the club is the most useless thing a car can have. people can break those things faster than they can break into a car.
