Car Alarm Prices
My car just got broken into for the second time this month. can you help me with an Alarm question?
My car is already wired for an alarm. I had one installed 3 years ago, but it stopped working after being inactive for over a year (we moved on base and had no need for it). Now that my car has been broken into repeatedly, we need to look into The Alarm again. Since my car is already wired for an alarm, can i have a new one installed at a cheaper price (can you tell i’m a broke college kid)?
I dont think anyone is going to do it for cheaper because it lready hs an alarm, it requires the same amount of splices whether it already has an alarm or not and most shops have a program that tells them exactly what wires to splice into for alarm and stereo installs in almost any wehicle. You might try to locate the existing alarm and see if a fuse is blown at the brain, or if the battery is dead in the remote. there is usually 2 fuses on an alarm right on the wiring going to the brain. Maybe have a reputable car audio shop look into fixing the existing system first to save money.
How Well Do Car Alarm Systems Work
The system is programmed to make a high-pitched noise every time someone attempts to get the car open, or even if someone is too close to the car. This has been designed to scare and deter thieves from stealing your car. But how well does these devices work? Do they work? When Car Alarms were first sold to the public, they were very popular and were installed in vehicles right away.
But after some time, consumers started really disliking them. One of the biggest problems with car alarms is they disturb the public. A dog or cat can go near it and set it off, not to mention the vibration from a loud vehicle going near by. Now imagine what happens when people leave their cars at home while they are out on vacation or what have you, these cars are just going off for no reason. And this is only one way these alarms aren’t that helpful.
Did you know, it’s estimated that false alarms happen about 95 percent of the time. That means, there’s a very small chance you’ll actually be using your loud sounding alarm to catch a criminal. These alarms are so loud, they are audible from behind closed doors and windows! Now imagine all the false alarms people have to deal with every day, maybe even you!
Think about this, when 95 percent of these alarms are false, it’s no wonder that nobody is too concerned with their car when the alarm goes off. Did you realize that according to recent studies, only 1% of all people call the police as a result of car alarms. And again, that’s because most people are assuming it’s yet another false alarm. Do you really consider that effective security? Think about it, it’s not really as effective as people make it seem.
If you are thinking about security for your car, maybe you should look into things besides car alarms. Car alarms vary in price, but remember that you get what you pay for. Not to mention, you should go to a reputable person to install it, because there are people out there who install your alarm with security holes so they can take advantage of them and steal your car down the line.
One last note if you have a whole bunch of sound system sticker advertisement or something of the nature, don’t bother with a security system. Why, because no security system will prevent you stuff from being stolen within your car.
