Alarm Install in NYC??

2011 Nismo#91

Please think again about getting a proximity sensor for your car if you live in an urban area. They are not helpful when they go off for every truck bus and person that walks by and are the reason everyone ignores car alarms. If anything your car will more likely be vandalized then saved from a thief.

The only useful thing would be a tilt sensor which should be able to be fitted to the existing alarm circuitry by a dealer or installer with ease.

IMO Prevention is better then deterrence. Turn your front wheels in making them difficult to remove when parked. Park close to the curb making one side need to be jacked up much higher to remove wheels. Don't leave anything in plain sight if you leave anything at all in your car that's valuable.

You're right. I heard about those proximity sensors. I will not install those then. However, having a 2 way is still better than nothing. At least I will (hopefully) be notified as soon as something happens instead of being surprised when I find my car missing. I've had my car stolen before in the past because I only had a 1 way alarm. Didn't do me any good.

And a link from the Onion? It's all satire stuff.
