Good Security Systems??

kenchan · 03-21-2010, 04:53 PM

if you want a real good security system get a secondary battery for it and hide it well.

Ultimate anti-theft system but high maintenance - pit bull.

Really good idea regarding the secondary battery. I was thinking about a viper, but I'll study up on that pitbull as well. I've had two vehicles broken into this past year, and they weren't even nice cars. I had my driver side window shattered just to steal a portable garmin worth maybe 100$. I planned on doing alot of interior upgrades to the Z (MT base) including a sound system, radar detect, Kenwood DNX6960 in dash, It just makes me nervous.

Getting robbed is an awful feeling and makes you think that you could have done more to prevent it. Only after, you start to consider that security is more than a simple issue. It is a big one.
Talking security takes more than locking doors and windows when you leave home. There are lots of other things to consider like back and front yard, inside and outside lightning, alarms and safes.
Last summer I lost my laptop and was told by law enforcement officers that I would have to bid on my own laptop at auction unless I could prove the item belonged to me. Luckily my brother in law got me a Ghostprint kit for my birthday and my laptop was one of the first items I marked.
GhostPrint - Secure your Valuables
I hope it will be useful
The officers returned my laptop after providing them with the details of my invisible Ghostprint mark, saving me potentially having to buy my own laptop again!

After reading the OP, I'm biting my tongue so hard it's starting to bleed.

The following recommended accessories will not prevent valuables left in plain sight from being stolen. I agree with the previous posts that covered that. However, these will help with regards to vehicle theft, carjacking, joyrides, etc. (This is the most constructive response I could post without starting an enormous flamewar resulting in bannination.)

Ravelco. Thieves would need to tow the car in order to steal it. (Other threads here discuss it, just do a search).
Escort Entourage C.I.S. (IMNSHO, better than LoJack; also 30% off the list price at Amazon).

Glad to hear your Z wasn't touched. I wish you well.

I thought the stock security system has an immobilizer and that they can't start the car without the keys since the key fobs need to be programmed to work with the specific car. Am i wrong?
With this system the only way they can steal the car is to tow it, just like how you would steal a car with ravelco. So buying the ravelco would be a waste of money.
If I am wrong, someone let me know because I don't like being misinformed LOL.

I know I'm late to the thread on this, I've just been searching the forum for topics on anti-theft.

I'm actually looking for a GPS tracking system. I see there are tons on the internet, but I know nothing about any of them. I was hoping for a little insight, recommendations, opinions, etc...
