Alarm system

[Ruzhyo]

Sorry but I am not sure if this is the correct folder to post.

 

I am looking for a good alarm system that does not cost an arm and leg.

 

My car already comes with a smart key. Can I retro fit another alarm? Do I need to bring 2 remotes with me?

 

Pls advice

depends on what functions you want.

 

simple ones - can use back your key.

 

multi-functional ones - may need to carry 2 remotes.

1st of all, thank you for your fast reply.

 

I have seen some alarm systems.

 

I am interested in the ones that have sensors for glass breakage, vibrations, car being tow/jacked up, the alarm remote with the LCD that can show the status some distance away etc.

 

Where can I find a wide range of alarm systems to choose from? Any good installer to recommand?

seems like u r aiming for a long range , 2-way remotes, with sensor array.

 

try these, for a start.

I looked them up, just not sure if need 2 remotes. Troublesome to carry 2 and not sure if it will screw up my smart key

i think if thats the case, it must be safer + wiser to stick to stock.

Most stock remotes have relatively short range - but should have at least 2 to 3 metres range at the least.

 

Yours seem a BIT on the TOO short side - if new car should check with your agent else if you have been using the remote for some time should try changing the battery.
