Did you add a Car Alarm to you Z???

elmo · 03-08-2012, 02:00 AM

I just bought my new 2012 370Z 2days ago and was told by my pops to think about putting in an Car Alarm system because i sometimes go to not so good towns . So my question is has anyone added an alarm to there car and if so what kind ? or should i be fine in that that area ?
i know theres no such thing as fine when it comes to car theft but is theft on these cars bad ? Cause i havent seen or heard of them being the target of being stolen like the good old Acura Integras back in the day and as my father is and older car guy i donno if hes just being paranoid cause its a small new sports car , i know better safe than sorry but Any info or opinions welcome thanks .

Mine came with one from the factory... don't they all?

Your average car thief isn't going to be able to steal this car. Stealing stuff *in* your car, is another story. Of course with a smash and grab, an alarm can only do so much. Personally I never bothered getting an aftermarket alarm system.

Mine did - becasue I managed to set it off yesterday. At least the panic button. Nothing like getting in your car and another one of your keys hitting the button...

They'll steal your rims way before the car

ya i think this cars factory antitheft is a little above your average dumbass criminals head

Just the one that came from the factory.

Definetly add lock nuts to your wheels. I have 4 different keys, but I am a little crazy, you don't have to overdo it. Also a tilt sensor alarm would be a great addition. And never leave anything in the car that may produce a broken glass by a smash and grab thief.

How about not going into an area that is shady?

I have to. I live in a shady area. We have many old growth trees in my neighborhood. Should this make me worry about my cars?
