Recent spate of thefts in my area, Breaking into cars rather than stealing them.
The alarm on my car is a bit, bland to put it nicely and as with all alarms, gets ignored if it goes off.
I'd quite like a feature packed one with a warning if someone gets too close. I've seen the talking ones in the states that seem to draw attention should someone get too close but they seem impossible to get over here by an authorised fitter.
Money no object if its a decent alarm and worth paying for.
Anyone have any experience with similar systems?

I had a microwave proximity alarm on my MX5 around 15 yrs ago.
It had a voice warning "This vehicle is alarmed please stand back" if you got within a foot of it.
If they didn't within 5-10 seconds it would then sound the multi siren alarm.
Two problems:
You daren't set it when parked at the roadside - as passing cars set it off
If you set it in a car park kids used to all stand close "to see what happened next"
These days I use genuine alarm stickers (ebay) and a flashing LED combined with either a Disclok or an Anti hijack immobiliser.

Don't get a talking one, your car will become a local feature to the mongs.
Go for a one with proximity sensor that beeps if people get too close as a warning. 3 Beeps and the alarm goes off.
Also make sure not to have it too sensitive or your car will be buzzing at everything.
I got my clifford concept alarm for £500 aroung 7 years ago, the guy came out to my house and fitted it on my drive for that price.

Forget a new fancy alarm... get some of these fitted to your existing system... i had some sent over a couple of years ago.... No One will ignore the alarm with these fitted.
