[QUOTE="Gary Kong, post: 751583, member: 65858"] Is there an alarm that works in conjunction with the key/keyfob? Something that is tranparent to the user? Lock the car with the fob, the alarm sets. Unlock, the alarm disarms. As a policeman with 30 odd years of experience, IMHO alarms are of some value but certainly not a foolproof deterrant. It will slow down or scare off the opportunist or someone wanting to rip something that is fairly wired in (stereo, dvd, etc.). Some radio thieves can tear out a radio in a blink, but alot are pretty amateurish. The alarms do slow down the searchers, the ones looking under seats, behind seats, etc. for goodies, but if it is in plain view its gone. Anyway, it is not a huge investment to at least reduce your vulnerability. In my case, my insurance goes down a little if I install an alarm. [/QUOTE]
