Best affordable alarm system

[pwhyze]

Hye all. I'm planning to upgrade my alarm. Currently I'm using OEM alarm and I have doubt that this is insufficient. So I just want to ask for recommendations for any good alarms, be it 1 way or 2 way, that fits the bill....and please keep in mind I'm kinda broke, so I'm aiming for anything arond RM500~Rm700.I tried doing a survey through the net for prices but most of the online retailers in Malaysia doesn't provide prices....so I'm asking you guys.:wavey: Thanks!

last 3 years i bought the most basic "clifford" alarm.. can get below RM1K.. now i'm not sure about the prices.. try to get any decent brand, those cheap one will give tons of problems

What affordable security systems that include window auto lock when brake is pressed?

 

[pwhyze]

Hmm...how about steelmate and crimefighter(sp?) alarms? Are they decent, or should I just go for Viper, Clifford, etc??

i've used steelmate b4, the 2way with lcd screen wan, not bad..As for Crimefighter, i saw a lot of negative comments abt them, i havent use b4, so i cant comment..Go for the branded wan la for reliability, the viper 350 hv is really affordable ma..still within yr budget..

what is the great thing about viper alarm system? is it hard to be disabled by thieves?

 

[ehdrian]

No alarms dat cant be disabled by thieves, just how long he takes only..I have not use any viper alarms b4 but from most of the reviews online, it's quite reliable..I used to install a korean brand alarm system on my car, it costs me rm1288 few years ago, it's a 2way alarm with lcd screen, it auto lock/unlock when u go near the car with the remote control..it works perfectly for few months when there was 1 night it unlocks by itself at night, then couple of weeks later during day time, the same thing happened..Who knows how many times it unlocks by itself without me knowing throughout the period i'm using it..

 

[pwhyze]

It unlocks itself?? Haha, that's one rebellious alarm that. I think I get what you're saying...Viper,Clifford 1 way is still better than any 2 way of the same price. Thanks for the help! By the way, the price is around RM 500 right?

I think it's better if you understand what car you're driving. Because if you have a Civic, then the alarm requirements will be slightly different than say a EG or a Jazz. (I'm assuming you're driving a Honda because of your avatar pic)

Firstly I suggest you try to find out how your particular model is stolen these days. Then only get a suitable setup to counter that problem. Kinda like how Myvi's have a weakspot hood release, Civics and Citys have a boot weakspot, etc.

It's better you understand what needs to be fixed and counter that rather than spend money on an alarm that can be disabled so easily. I personally know how to do it for most cars so imagine what the pros (thieves) can do.
