My other concern is that if my remote beeps to alert me, I go to my car
and see some guys with parangs trying to steal my car, will I dare to
confront them?

What will you guys do if under such scenario? Let them have the car? I
think I will.

Turn on your alarm mar. You know, there's one button to turn on the alarm
wan. Turn it on to attract attention. If they chase after you, run away.

Guys,

I read somewhere (couldn't remember where) that a gsm based alarm system
that can notify the owner if his vehicle has been broken into. No it's
not a 2 way alarm i think. Izit the same as captor? Maybe fooyc can
clarify, tq.

[adrlim]

nope it calls you on your phone. while 2 way the car alarm sends a signal
directly to your remote if you are in range...But then it can't really
allow you to have the status check with the 2 way and all thta coz the
remote is a one way. Each it calls you you will need to pay...each time
you call your car you need to pay....each has its advantages and
disadvantages

Captor well I heard also uses GSM yes but this one you need to pay Captor
as a provider since they will handle all the "calls" from your car

Sifu fooyc please clarify

Bro,

You need to pay a yearly fee to rite? How much is this?

Also how do you check the status of your car? Call them up rite and do
they charge for this bro?

Thanks

bro adrlim, the RM2k i pay include install and one year control center
fee, AAM memmber, insurance on my vguard if damage to accident or flood,
warranty to 30 months - looking at the flyer they give melah. understand
second year is 240. to check status, believe it or not, i can use my
handphone and send sms to check my car alarm status. if don't want, can
call them up to 8x a month for free. anyway, i can also check when i
press the panic button to see the system ok. canggih bro! just put in one
vguard for wife's car - family also important in case of emergency
nowadays.

ezrider,

Sounds impressive. Btw the components are local or foreign? U mentioned
2nd year is 240 is for the services only rite?

[ezrider]

Bro simpson, 240 for the emergency service. i call v-guard to check
further and told me that this service comes with free car recovery,
incase of lost or breakin. better still, i pay with hong leong card and
get 12 months 0interest payment,or round 180 a month. not badlah for my
financial. selamat deeparaya,bro!
