Alarm system reliability
« on: August 23, 2006, 11:22:57 AM »
Hello. I was wondering how peoples Alarm Security systems hold up to off-roading roading and what not. Has anyone had a system fail from rough use? I guess this would only apply to daily drivers.

How good do the systems work with the softtop model?

A shock sensor *could* get knocked out of place a little, which could make it more or less sensitive. As for the convertible, ask your local installer about proximity sensors(good quality ones like DEI brand, not cheap ones)

Simply making your vehicle so no sane person would steal it won't work for everyone though.

;D

Wasn't there going to be a new generation of car alarms that worked on the air preasure changing inside your car instead of traditional sensors?
