ok... I'm completely new to this whole area of electronics... so, here is what I'm thinking. i want to buy a car alarm, and certain options are a must have for me and others i could not care less about. so here goes:

must have:

shock sensor
starter kill
built in relays for triggering door locks and trunk release
current sensor (if this means that it senses when someone tries to start the car and it triggers the alarm)


doesn't matter:
remote start
lcd remote
two way system


now, wiring is no problem for me, I've been doing it for a very long time. so please, I'd just like to know some models that i could look into purchasing, and where to purchase them. thanks

Check out Crime Stopper...

There combo system has everything but the LCD display

And there regular alarm has everything but the Remote Start

I think most 2 way alarms now a days tell you if the car has been started, so if you go that route you will be set.

well, im not generally a fan of this site, but i did happen to find this linky and was wondering if any of you thought it'd be worth it?

That's the alarm I have, and it's fantastic.

that actually looks to have what im looking for... i didnt see anything about it on the site, but does it have starter kill?

I *think* there's a negative out when armed on it, if that's the case, you can wire up a relay to do that.

y'kno, i just thought about it, and in a manual, starter kill wouldnt really do much if they got far enough as to get the ignition system on.. i've push started my car by myself before...

im thinking of ordering that. was installation hard at all or basic stuff?


I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, 'cover for me', Number two, 'oh, good idea, boss', Number three, 'it was like that when I got here.'

Installation for our cars is simple. I took mine to the next level; I shaved my handles and locks, so I have relays to open the doors and trunk.

I have a autopage rf-520lcd they have been in the business a very long time and make good stuff.

it has relays built in for everything except your accesories. for the starter kill i just have a 2 wire plug. you just cut the starter wire in half and jut connect each wire to a end.

Six Channel Alarm System with 6 on-board relays for parking lights, starter disable, door lock and unlock, dome light and second channel (trunk).
so you really dont need anything unless you want to wire up ACCESSRIOES. i bought mine of ebay. from
