car123, you can check it out in TTDI. Near to the BCB bank. Cobra is
located there and talk to Edward. Tel : 03-77297540. Edward is the boss
there and service from him is excellent.

car123,

IMHO, you should set a budget before you go out for window-shopping. Its a
good way to set a limit, so that you know how much you can spent, and
avoid unnecessary over-purchase with limited budget.

Cobra is a kinda household brand these days; OEM installation for
Honda/Toyota/Ford if I'm not wrong. Too many I must say, to seriously
consider its really secure.

fooyc,

I just installed the Cheetah Card Transponder Immo into my baby 3 days
ago, as a second line of defence. So now my car have these:-

1. Original Stock Alarm
2. Metro Stop Lock
3. Cheetah Immo
4. Crime Stopper Shock Sensor

I found out another shop selling the alarm/immo stuffs, visit www.tru-
asia.com for more information.

Today, most of these alarms can be disarmed easily. So, it's more of a
deterrant - but I must say as a 1st line defence. IMHO, it's still
worthwhile to get it rather than none at all. You may complement it by
immobilisers, steering locks, etc. It's a matter of balance. Thieves
nowadays tow your car in broad daylight. They tell onlookers that the owner
did not pay the installment.

hAwnAuk,

Pretty good choice. Make sure the installer does a good job in concealling
the equipments and wiring.

firezy,

Ya la, otherwise can't get a good sleep in every night.

I will put on hold to change the stock alarm coz that shop (Supercode)
doens't accept credit card. Really 'sakit hati' when I hand over my hard
earn money that day :-(

But now at least can have a sweet dream liao...

Got new product from Taiwan meh? Haiya, why now only tell? I just
installed the Cheetah la...
