So you just bought a new car or just put in your dream mobile audio/video system, now, what do you do to protect your investment? Did you know that most factory alarms do not fully protect your vehicle or your possessions? We strongly recommend a car alarm. Not only will a car alarm protect your vehicle and its contents, they can add features that will make your life easier and better.
What is a car alarm?
A car alarm helps protect your vehicle and its contents. A good basic car alarm comes with a siren, remote controls and will protect the entry points of the vehicle. Most also have an impact sensor that detects impacts to the car and a starter disable to make it harder for the thief to start your car to steal it. There are a variety of other things you can have a car alarm do with a touch of a button on your remote such as lock and unlock doors, start your car remotely, roll your windows up, down and even vent them so hot air can escape while you are away from your vehicle. You can also control motorizations such as open your convertible top, pop your power trunk and in some high end A/V installations control moving panels, lighting, under car lighting ect. The only limit is your imagination and budget.
What types of car alarms are available?
There are several types of Car Alarms Available.
- Basic Car Alarms – have everything you need for a good basic security system and basic conscience features such as keyless entry
- Remote Start Systems – can be part of a security system or part of a standalone system that just starts the car and locks/unlocks your power doors.
- GPS Tracking systems – can track your vehicle if it is stolen or you want to know where your vehicle is at any given moment
- Factory keyless entry upgrade systems – converts your factory keyless entry system into a basic car alarm.
- Vehicle Surveillance system – a four camera system that monitors and records and saves any events to the interior of your car onto an SD card.
What are some key features I can get with a car alarm?
Car Alarms can do a lot of things, some features are built in and other features require additional modules or parts. Here are some of the most popular features our customers are looking for:
- Starter kill – Helps prevent the thief from easily starting your car to steal it

- Remote start - can be used on fuel injected, automatic transmission vehicles to start the vehicle remotely to cool it down before you get in during the summer or warm it up before you get in during the winter.

There are also modules you can buy that allow you to roll the windows down with the touch of the remote or even “vent” the window so the hot air escapes while your car is sitting out in the sun on a hot day.
