someone tied to steal my car!!!

[robwantsR32]

was at a friends house round the block parked outside of booragoon primery school last night reversed parked in between two of my mates commodores and went inside.

Came out about 2:30 to see a guy running off further down the hill from where i was parked. thought that was weird! went to where i left my car and it wasn't their! somehow they managed to get it out of the parking spot get stuck on full lock and roll down the hill about four spaces and park perfectly next to another car facing inwards!! and they ripped out half the pannel under the ignition and only nicked off with 2CD's.

I worked out how they got in. make sur the passenger door is closed properly befor you lock the car!

few of my mates found the guy and followed him into wireless hill but we couldn't catch him.

So whats the best alarm/immoboliser/pitbull in the back seat i can get? and where in perth can i get it?

cheers and sorry for the long post

Damn dude very lucky!

i would have to recomend the auto watch blue line series.

it has a shock sensor and ultrasonics included, two kill points ( you can kill ignition and starter or fuel pump ).

if you do happen to leave your door open slightly and you arm the alarm it will beep in a way to let you know that it has detected the door open, or your boot or your bonnet.

I have hooked mine up in conjunction with a window closure module so when you arm the alarm you can send the windows up if you leave them down.

With the r32's you will need to have a central locking motor installed into the drivers door so it can trigger the passengers door to lock.

I recomend if you dont have a turbo timer installed get one fitted while you get the alarm fitted, that way you can alarm your car and still leave it timing down.

I recomend Alberts car stereo in morley.

speak to Grant or Dan, they will look after you

also anouther bit of advice, ask your insurance company if you will receive a reduction in your premium with the instalation of an alarm.

also sorry for the long post:bonk: haha

cheers

5 of my mates have that Autowatch too, 3 of them have window windups and 2 of the 3 have boot release also. very useful

Have you heard of the module for the auto watch that u can install, when u arm it it says "system armed" and when u disarm it it says "system disarmed"? kinda funny at first but the joke kinda wears out ...

sorry to hear it but at least you still have your car

don't understand these people. i had my valve caps stolen off my car (shiny titanium ones) in hilarys on the weekend, pissed me off but at least they didn't touch my rims or anything else... as far as i know, i only noticed this morning.

i feel violated enough, i'm sure you feel worse.

cyclops (Dymatec or something)

also do one, basically has all the same features.

I have glass break sensor, knock sensor, boot and bonnet sensors, u can also get ultrasonics and wat not, but i decided not to.

I also have the auto window winder aswell.

And Yas, my car does that.

[teejay]

window sensors are useless once they use a time old proven method to simply shatter the window and not breaking it

Ive got a cyclops cat 4 alarm 2...with microsensors.

You can also adjust the sensitivity.

(so it doesnt go off like mine when a leaf rubs against your car, haha)

Here is a link to silviawa. Raheem is the man to see. Done alarms for many people i know.

i've got a few things in mine including motion sensors, of course they aren't any good at stopping someone getting in lol

Installing a turbo timer isn't the best idea if you want better security. I think they're able to hack into the ignition easier.

I have a Black Widow alarm in mine with shock sensor.. only been in a few months and working well.. but now I wish that I just spent more and bought a paging remote.. I was literally 2mins walk down the road and kinda in view of the car and I didn't see the shock sensor going off when someone reversed into my parked car recently. They didn't hit it very bad so it would have only beeped & flashed at them, but had they hit it worse I don't know if I would have heard the alarm from there anyway. Anyway the alarm beeped at me when I returned so I knew something had happened which is a good thing I guess. That alarm cost me about $350 incl install.

The fact is if someone really wants to steal it, they will, there's not all that much you can do. There are alarms available with GPS tracking, which seems like an excellent idea, but then recently there was a very expensive yacht that was stolen from melbourne & last reported heading to Hobart by the GPS system.. and I believe never recovered....

Most alarms are just a fancy keyless entry.

Make sure you get it installed by a professional installer.. don't get it done by some crap franchise, we've had problems with the alarm on our 32 for months.

Essential: black wire, battery backup, shock sensor, all opening points covered bonnet/boot etc, 2point, tilt sensor, insurance!

Recommend: remote pager (covering a good distance), 3point immobiliser (tho some people have problems with the fuel pump immobiliser)

And anything else I've forgotten

Hope thats of help
