well, i think the basic steering lock and also the gear lock works. Also, hide the alarm reset button for ur car as it is easy to hot wire ur car and reset the alarm if the switch is not hidden coz everyone knows where the alarm switch is.

Also for just a few ringgit you can add in a starter kill switch for it, kinda like a ON-OFF button for the main power of the car.

Get sensors like motion and shock sensors costing about RM100 each. CHeck out ebay for Viper sensors which are selling relatively cheaper there than in Malaysia. In Malaysia, the motion sensor for Viper sells for RM300, i bought mine at RM120 on ebay with courier.

Also, I bought my Viper 791XV 2 way alarm with remote start from US imported to M'sia for RM900, whereas it would cost RM2,700 (with installation) if u buy it here.

I believe that a Electronic Light (EL) display for Viper also helps deter car thieves as it makes the thieves think u have a sophisticated alarm system. The EL display cost only RM100 and it just works as a light flasher but it kinda gives the psychological effect to deter thieves.

Buy only HU that have detachable face plates.

even normal proton cars also got LED blinking near the steering wheel...

 

[ezri]

its not ordinary led blinking..its kind a plate..

its the blue color, got image of viper brand alarm n blinking in blue color..

its can show the image of viper brand n everyone can know that the car protected by viper alarm..

 

[trex92]

yeah, LED just shows that u got a standard alarm ie easy to steal... Maybe something that looks more canggih would deter the thieves...

 

[johndoe]

actually normal proton cars already install wif standard alarm, how would thief break in, since using force to get the car door open would trigger the alarm...

 

[trex92]

simple, they don't open the doors. The thieves usually break the little triangle window and the back doors of Proton Wiras. Breaking the window would not trigger the alarm. And if ur back window is not auto window, the reach in and wind down the window. Then they climb in thru the window to the driver's seat. They then hot wire you car and reset the alarm. Kow tim...!

should be enough....if ur car is not stolen so far, it proves to be just as effective as those ppl installing alarm worth rm2k...

NO, I mean u dun need to install those rm2-3k alarm.
Just install an alrm better than the standard alarm offered..probably cost rm500. the rest just put wheel nuts, steering lock n peddle lock...is more than enough...

I dun mean that ur rm3k alarm is useless, it's just a waste of money for those who can'rt afford to pay....i'm suggesting a better and cheaper way to counter car theft...no offence..
