wja6227,

thats why i quickly change my stock alarm to better after market alarm n
add in anti-hijack system, cannot depend on stock car alarm, definitely an
easy target for those thief. Will add-in Locktech as soon as possible once
they have the unit for Kenari, meanwhile I will add in the Smartshop
Autolock, and one of those steering lock those that come with siren n
motion sensor once they detect you inside the car, they are on sale in
Carrefour cost around i think RM250. LET THOSE BASSTARD KAKI CURI SUFFER!!!

Wja6227,

I just went to Carrefour the steering that i mention earlier the correct
price should be RM199. This is what i gather from the brochure:

T-REX steering lock with sensor alarm.

Alarm sounds when vehicle is tampered with eg breaking car window, opening
car door, entering car sending out 110db-130db alarm to scare off thieves
and alert owner and passer-by.

Using two 1.5 volt batteries. Can last 6-9 months under normal condition.

Constructed of sturdy, die cast tube steel and aluminium alloy.

The patented duo-ball vibration sensor is an all-direction sensor,
protecting all parameter of the vehicle.

Enhanced LED brightness optimizes visibility of lock in the dark, flashing
every 2-3 seconds, thus detering car intruders. The key-pad is also
available in "glow in dark" material, enabling user to see the key pad nd
providing extra visibility lock, thus enhancing deterrence.

Their website : www.megacell.com.my

Master Foo what do you think about this unit here?

The problem with such pain inducing security systems is that if you're
letting a loved one use your car or get something from it, they might fall
victim too.
