Just got my jazz but...

[phalanxx]

Hi everyone,

just got my new car, but the basic cobra alarm i dont think will prevent people breaking the glass and stealing the "invitingly" un-detachable big cdplayer (2-din).

So, not only cdplayer, i wan increase security as well la. My friend said, like that .. people sure break la, coz he is going to break and take . :shocked:

Ok,

After doing some research (forums to forums, sites to sites), options :

1) Change entirely new alarm : viper or clifford range (preferably 2-way : Budget 2k) - Any dealers can give me the price here or contacts?

2) Addons cobra or Just add a motion sensor and plus a break-lock.

A guy told me if add on a shock sensor, it will not work well.. maybe not "compatible" with the cobra gua.

So any ideas contacts sifus... thanks!

even if you tug in a RM100,000 alarm system, those who physically breaks into.... will still break into.

phalanxx u got a PM pls check

 

[phalanxx]

i read around, still have this kind of people saying

1) no matter how, ppl still tow away
2) no matter how good, if theft aim, sure get u

man, cmon,

First of all, u have bought a 'hot' car which attracts car thieves due to its high parts resale value. So, even u splash the best alarm system on the planet, thieves will steal it.

Even my friend's dad had his Toyota Wish stolen despite loaded with the best car tracking alarm system which cost RM 3k+. Till today, car is still missing. So much for spending the money for nothing.

Remember, thieves are thieves. Once they aim for something, they will take it no matter what the cost. Some even tried until they die a painful death.

Honestly, I will avoid cars with high resale value.

High resale value = expensive parts + labour
Expensive parts + labour = easy target for car thieves

 

[phalanxx]

acbc : yes, i understood that. but again, and again, better than no alarm right?

the problem is .. message with those no matter what..

If "no matter what" works, what for we need a security ? and what for we post message here...

since no matter what they can steal it "if" they targetted you, yes, of course ..

you cant run away.. but does that mean we should use back basic alarm?. who needs 5k clifford btw? (im not sure how much clifford is)

and later after fitted a super clifford, people will reply.. no matter how hitech your clifford, people still can tow your car.. and after you fit a super anti-tow alarm that shoots laser, they will reply, no matter what, people still can plant a bomb.. and then u fit..

okay.. get me? the message just doesnt helps in any way.

hahahaha easiest way la......cheapest or i can say is FREE......everynight just put your dog sleeping in your JAZZ......so when people c also afraid to do anything right?

 

[Jun_EK9]

tell u wat....if u fixed a good 2way alarm they gonna break your glass . and if u have a lumar tinting also they will break your door lock n get in to your car. so my opinion is get a good 2 way alarm then put lumar tinting n get rid of your door lock.just use the alarm to lock n open the door. this idea seems ridiculous but works for my old car

Just buy a mid range alarm and get the incabin siren. Once active, it emits a VERY UNBEARABLE note that can deafen anyone who hears it long enuff. I think that's the very least you can do. Other than that, yeah no point wasting money on good alarm. You keep saying the message doesn't help but that's the reality. If you still want it, go on and get 2k alarm and you'll realise how useless it is.

 

[Jun_EK9]

sometimes is depend on luck also

 

[phalanxx]

Appreciate your advices.

Dont misunderstood, what i meant above is.. "no matter what" is a non constructive words. Its not i want an expensive = good 1.but, i just want to point out .. coz alot posts i saw also got ppl reply like that 1. *shakes head*

(its like u seek for advice, then ppl tell u : AIHHHH NO USE LAAA.. NO USE 1 LAAAA..SURE DIE 1 LAAAA..
gohkokeng : not dog la, i thought of put a smoke bomb inside which will activated ... the thief sure run away 1.. definately when your engine smokes like crazy.

 

[evo4g63]

hi phalanxx u r really looking into good advice as i see ur post in autoworld.com.my too...

anyway i hv answered ur PM i will recommend u to call them to know more bout the system cos is too long for me to show u the features of the system. plus i m not in a good possition to answer u due to i m not attach to them. i just recommend u cos i m happy with the system n hope it will b the system tat u looking for.. cheers

 

[tictac]

get lumar tint film... smash also cannot break. Then get a 2 way or gsm tracking alarm with backup batt silencer... enough? What somemore u need ? hehe

 

[gohkokeng]

yeah......armour up your car.......they will just TOW your car away la.....

they TOW terang terang also....people think that this car not paid not several months Bank towing or this car can't be started

handbrake just lock the rear wheels right? they TOW front wheels

JUN_EK9....hows your ride....pity the ex owner though :)

For a very good suggestion with RM0 budget, is very simple. Just park your car at nearest police station and then walk to bus stop, LRT or Komuter station. Help the goverment lar, use public transport is good.

Otherwise, the idea of putting a very farking loud siren inside the car is very good. Eventhough the robber die-die wants to steal your car, atleast you are annoying the shit out of him while he is hot wiring your car, hopefully, he'll go deaf at the price of your car. I say that's a good trade off.

Hey... even thieves steal from police stations...

If u want the best way, I say opt for the GSM alarm system. At least u can monitor the car anywhere in the world with GSM service.

yaa..it's true..GSM also can help the police to able to track back ur lost car.saves time instead of wandering around..rite?but then, how much is the cost for the alarm?does it cost a bomb?

a 2-way fm alarm system might tell you something happened to ur car..but u still have to go to ur car to actaully check what happened. in case u are in a shopping complex, how are you gonna tell that the car have been broken into?by the time u reach the car, the car might be gone.therefore, still need other preventive measures..or additional securities..or, u might place a cctv around the car, hehe

my ex - car was being tow away... in the morning hours about 5 something it is about 2 months ago... with steering lock n standard gear lock "perodua is equipped with the lock for gear" but they still manage to tow it.
