Whats The Best Alarm To Get

[Nevra]

does anyone suggest a good alarm??

[SL33K]

Me likey my new Autowatch 456 Alarm. I think its the best.

[Blazk]

agree autowatch or mongoose

[JoshN]

Any suggestions to what is a good mongoose alarm system?

and also is it worth tying it in with the stock central locking (so you can use the oem remote) or do you think its easier to get it re-done?

[GTRPowa]

I haven't seen anything bad about them, but look up the Steelmate 898G.

[DarkRyda]

Mongoose M80

RhinoCo Rav3

Autowatch 456

There all around $600 inc installation.

I also have an Autowatch. Love how sleek the remote is, no bulky coloured crap. The arm/disarm tone is different too.

Highly recommend Cyclops.

Australian Brand and well priced

The P375B is great value for money.

not too bad and good for those on a budget. still sell the odd one myself.

as for best - how deep are your pockets?? (or how paranoid are you??)

that has nothing to do with your alarm in 99% of the cases,but weak battery/bad connections or poor tune on the car

Directed Electronics(viper,python,and a few other big names) has lifetime warranties on parts if professionally installed, but batteries inside siren can fail after a 3-4 years , quicker if you run the main car battery flat a few times

best alarm is ADR compliant for insurance reasons , and used 100% of the time even in your garage, as a multi layered security approach.

and installed by someone who knows how "pro" to hide it, and wire properly

and common sense on when and where you leave your car.

any other feedback on Viper's range?

[funkymonkey]

viper used to be good, but these days, along with the rest of the DEI gear, it seems fairly average quality wise. probably the best bang for buck tho.

Prevents the engine from starting when it is armed. usually through the starter motor, ignition switch or fuel pump or a combination of 2 or 3

quality is best/features IMO (lifetime warranty on hardware if pro installed, great tech support ) but not a Australian approved device without adding some extra bits.

don't forget they make a lot of different levels of alarms

Viper,Python,etc

to tell you the truth car theft here is really bad compared to the USA, shocking bad to be exact.

flaming mongrels , in USA you have guns and "make my day" laws and judges who throw crims in the prison for doing it !!!...lol so crims might think twice before toying with your pride and joy
