I can understand what he's saying. Who phones the police when a car alarm goes off. Everyone just looks at it!!!
id say its only worth having if your car is in earshot, my old car was robbed right outside the house with no alarm....where now ive got one im at the door with my axe handle with any noise
an alram may be a deterant for a opportuntist smash and grab thief i reckon...certainly better than not having one.
when i got my car it had a cat 2 immobiliser fitted, this didnt stop the little poo screw drivering my door and pinching my radio and cd's from right outside my girlsfriends house, then i fitted a cat 1 alarm/immobilser aswell and fitted door plates, fell alot better about leaving it overnight in places i dont know, but it wont stop people smashing wondows to get it, so would say if u have the money then yes i'd get 1 if not then dont go to sleep at night and sit at the window watching your car just in case lol
it depends on if your alarm goes off all the time for no reason as if it did everyone would ignore it where as if it only goes off when something actually causes it to people will pay more attention also if someone does try to get in then it will scare them into running or just taking something quick not giving them time to hunt around the car to see what else there is i'm glad i'v got a toad Ai606 anyway
i aint got a cat 1 just standard vw immobiliser...and got insurance no probs fully comp with admiral for 485 plus that includes break down cover ect...free pooter of a car if mines in garage.....not bad although i do stay in a low risk area
