Hi Sam, hope your keeping well? Surley the statndard alarm/mob and deadlocks on the VXR8 is good enough not to invest in a 3rd party alarm? would it not be better to invest in a tracker?

havnt looked into that mate its an other option

I echo the above. The biggest chance of your car being nicked, is with the key. There's too many security measures for them yo get around nowadays.

IIRC, Tracker are doing free instalation at the moment.....

i wouldnt be too trusting at least with an alarm u have some noise its really not hard to put a vehicle on a tilt tray and drive off after all most cars that get nicked are broken for their parts..i have the evo 4 in my ute on the link cant go wrong

I see what your saying about an alarm makes a noise, but so does the standard one and at the end of the day, most cars are taken by breaking in and taking the keys, you can put the most expensive, top of the range alarm on but if they have your keys, it's worth jack !! all depends if you want to get your car back, my money would be on a GPS tracker.

the way i see it is that a decent alarm is a good deterrent to the 'have a go thief', but at the end of the day if someone really wants the car, then they will take it no matter what alarm you have.

buy a kit that lets you disable the car by phone, when if they break in for keys or car jack you

yeah it was just an alarm suggestion for ya trackers arnt hard to find either and throw them as gsd said no car is really safe i guess but i do no if someone does have a go at mine i no about it straight away by the pager not in an hours time when its 100 ks down the road..

I'd recommend CobraTrak 5 which offers that technology, though not cheap.

i had my pick up taken without me knowing about it ,it was picked up and towed away . so with a alarm i would be able to here it unless i was shoping

not sure what the factory fitted one is like as its never gone off
didnt know it had one

[stevemj]

What happened to those alarms that used to speak out aloud, back in the 89s about keeping back from the car etc - just like car 'Robocop'?

sam ..
have toad alarm on mine ...had to have it fitted for insurane because monaros are not thatcham approved ... you have standard alarm on the car ... so a tracker would be the best bet IMO

[V8NHH]

These alarms are just peace of mind as been said earlier if someone wants you're car then they will get the keys and it will be gone.

Insurance companies don't help found that outlay for tracker with full monitoring would take over 14years to pay back on saving on insurance cost

Worth it yes for not losing car / peace of mind
Really worth while nah waste of time more to go wrong not financially viable etc..

[gsd2000]

Oi noose permimiter sensers arent gay but i agree with you that some people set the sensor off by purpose. Most people keep away if they hear it.

This is what i did no mention of alarm when insured the car but trakker was a must.

Err! Public forum guys.

Course ALL our cars have trackers fitted already don`t they.
