What's the best alarm out there in price range. Just to unlock:lock the doors with a push of a button. Also if anybody or thing trying to get inside the car.

 

[Victim44]

Do you already have power door locks? If not then you need more than just an alarm.

did power door locks come factory? if i wanted to convert mine wheres the best place to get a kit?

 

[Fictive-NA]

Clifford 1x is good. If you don't already have power door locks I'm pretty sure you need the door actuators and relays (2 of each) and the alarm. I think you can get it all at Fry's.

 

[Rezist09]

Hmm whT else is needed so I cann car alarm and those. Well ebay

best alarm is to not lock the car. you do not want people braking into the car because the door was locked and now you are out of what ever they stole and a broken soft top. just my $0.02

that logic doesnt apply everywhere.
an alarm will probably deter a thief from even braking in knowing it will cause noise and attention.

heck i have kids braking into old cars here in my neighborhood stealing OEM radios from early 90's vehicles. if my other car didnt have a proximity sensor 2-way alarm then mine would have been one of them.

alarms just keep honest people honest.

I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my door unlocked. My car would be gone.

 

[Rezist09]

Well I'm gonna order one soon I'ma try clifford

I also suggest a trunk module. I have the Clifford alarm from previous owner, but I still have to manually open the trunk

 

[TwiztOG43]

heres what i ordered
Python 574 2Way LCD Remote Car Starter with Alarm System


DEI 507T Tilt Sensor
DEI Dual Zone Motion Sensor
Central Doorlock Kit 2dr (Make Your Manual Locks Power!) #181 [these do not require a relay since they have their own harness for a power source]
Trunk: Universal Electric Trunk Release Conversion Kit #216
Relay 30 /50 Amp Spdt Relay - With Harness #319 [this relay is for the trunk release]

 

[WakaWaka]

how much are you guys spending on alarm systems?

 

[TwiztOG43]

Mine is around $300
Currently getting different estimates for the install

 

[Sai]

I heard that the wolfmiata makes a good one and it's a plug and play kit. I might get it whenever I have the spare cash.

 

[Rezist09]

Hmmmm gonna google see what I find

it is but its really expensive for what you get. with these aftermarket DEI alarms, they are pretty much expandable to whatever features you want.

 

[Rezist09]

Thanks is for the link found my alarm gonna go cheap just need it add the door junkies

why go cheap on an alarm? one of the things you want to rely on is something you dont skimp on

 

[96M8]

anyone seen emiata kits?

 

[TwiztOG43]

anyone seen emiata kits?

yes, i was going to get that one, but it wasnt expandable. plus it may be plug and play per say but most of those parts could be had for a lot less than what they are asking.

my main reason was i needed
-tilt sensor
-proximity sensor
