Alarms don't really do anything anymore.

Planning to put one in my car also, i need the turbo timer, wouldnt mind the remote start, keyless entry, remote open trunk, and extra security.

How so? If anyone even sneezes on my car Ill know about it in seconds. The smart start service will even notify the police if your alarm goes off and you tell them to.

When you have double what you payed for the car worth of car audio equipment, spending a little extra on a security system is well worth it.

I LOVE my remote start!

Luckily I always take everything out of my car. I get really paranoid when I leave something with any value in there.

That sucks bro, if I do leave something in my car I try to put it in my glovebox or center console if it fits. Hell, I'll shove it under the back of my seat.

Almost a week of having it in his car, someone decided to bust his driver window while he was at the mall and took his head unit. He said he was in the mall no longer than 25 mins...
That seriously sucks. People are so shady these days it is ridiculous.

They pried the seals on my driver side and failed but got into my driver side and left some dents on the door from doing so. They took a $25 radar detector my friend let me borrow. SMH

I have always wondered what exactly goes through the thieves mind when they attempt such a thing. i wish police had more control over society and I wish I would catch someone in the act of doing it it my SC.

I will put it to you this way, I would no longer be able to post or be a moderator..... be behind bars.. :-)

Last time someone stole from a car in my neighborhood, a friend and I chased them down. They got away (mostly because my buddy didn't have the presence of mind to tell me to block the road) but we got their tag numbers etc. If we'd caught them, they would have gotten [redacted].

I know what you mean! I can see my car out my bedroom window, so if I had seen the person, I honestly think the 9mm would of come out.

I'm a very good shot but I'd be worried about hitting the car as well as the person. Then again, I DO have safety slugs and can see all of my vehicles from my bedroom...
