Thinker Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 I'll be installing a car alarm in a vehicle I just bought and am looking for slick ideas about the placement of the components....i.e. places to put the little horn/siren so a thief can't just slide under the car and cut the wires easily, places to hide the kill/valet switch, and other slick ideas to up the quality a bit. I chose to install it myself for the joy of it, and because I don't really trust the punk kids I've seen in the installation bays at the few local places I visited. And, heck, since this IS spray, how about some outlandish ideas for car security? A locksmith told me people in South Africa prevent car jackings by electrifying their cars and installing propane 'flamers' to ward off would be attackers. Other ideas?!?!? Quote
fenderfour Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 A kill switch hidden in the ECU check port (usually somewhere near the driver) is a nice touch. Quote
burgersling Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 I had a bumping stereo in a VW Rabbit in college but I didn't want to spring for a car alarm. I instead wired in a red blinking Chrismas bulb and stuck it up through a small hole I drilled in the dash. Looked good and I never did have my car broken in to, but the light was always blinking whether the car was running or not. Quote
