how the hell did they steal my car with my factory alarm not going off.and how did the start it.

 

That Sucks!
If your door didnt open the alarm wont go off. They could have towed it.

 

what year is your car if its a 95 to 98 all they have to do is open the rear door and if its a 99 they have to know the chip sensor anything is possible to be stolen just takes a smarter theif for some cars

 

daymn that sux

 

Not hard to steal a car, if someone wants your car, they will take it. Sorry to hear that, that sucks.

 

it takes about 2 seconds to disarm the maxima alarm once you have the car open

as for starting it another 2 seconds to hotwire a maxima with nothing but a set of wire cutters

 

They stole my car too.. factory alarm too.. didnt go off too... POS? Yes very true...

Hope your car didnt have any expensive goodies, sorry for your loss.. Hope you get it back and fix it up with a aftermarket alarm this time! Maybe a few kill switches here and there.. etc.

 

Factory is crap invest in a Viper. Also get good insurance.

They stole my last one Max in 15 min. The factory alarm is bull$hi+

 

factory alarms are jokes, viper or code alarm is superb, but then again, my friend had a factory and a viper in his car with gps tracking, comes out of his hotel room in atlanta and finds the viper brain and gps bug laying where his car was parked the nite before. if they want it, theyll get it.

 

I use to take the steering wheel off my car in seedy neighbourhood overnight. This was with my old car without ABS bags.

 

Just take out the fuel pump fuse if youre that worried.

 

yeah, well my friend stole my viper... still have the car though.

 

99% of the alarm are paybass, I know this person who had great alarm(perfectly hidden),+4 kill swith+1 kill swith to the ECU, and it was stollen in less than 10min,

most alarm work fine, but easy to cut and steel the car. Get good insurance that cover the theft. plus if you need add GPS tracking divice(expenseive + $10 a month to keep it active, heard good thing about it, and they do a some kind of 24 hr finding the car after you told them about the theft, or the give the some kind 10,000, not sure about the last one.

I my self had $3500 worth of stero and it was stolen in mid Augest 04,
lucky I was covered on it and had covered on the steroe.

 

what r u guys talking about, how could u even call it an ALARM. its just a keyless entry. there is no "alarm", no shock sensors, no glass sensors. only if u open door or hood. aint worth a crap.

 

my maxima got broken into bout 2 weeks ago, they smash the driver side back glass went to open the door and the alarm went off. luckly they didn't steal anything. i went off and ordered a dual stage shock sensor, but having trouble with the install. if anyone has done one please let me know.

Sorry to hear about your car. That kind of stuff totally sucks. My buddy's bike, a Yamaha R1 (he had put over $2k worth of stuff on it too)was stolen from work yesterday, in the parking lot, supposedly watched over by security guards.

 

You should have read the forums bro, everyone with a stock alarm is getting hit easy.. Hell people with aftermarket are getting hit. I got a Viper 791 XV or whatever and I dont feel 100% safe.

best thing you can do is park it in a garage.. my car was stolen on the stock alarm as well...

 

the stock alarm doesn't cover the rear windows/doors.

 

carry along your fuel pump fuse or something

 

I have a Clifford alarm, but if I feel a little weird about where I have to park I do pull the fuel pump fuse .

 

Clifford ha, I paid i person $10 to cut the wire and take the brain off.
I did this when I went to get rebo my max, this person stopped making payment on the car so went and got it back, he instaled a Clifford Alarm so I could not start the car even I had the key.

 

True, i did that once when i parked my car in New York. I put a blown fuse in the fuel pump so if they went to start it, it wouldn't start and it looked like it has the fuse in the slot. Just thinking 1 step ahead of the game.

 

hi Tman6429, try to install some kind of kill swith to the full bump and hid it some good place.

 

Actually my Clifford alarm has the option to add wireless immobilizer that is hidden somewhere in the vehicle. If the alarm is tripped, the fuel supply (I believe it is the fuel pump) is interrupted and will not get to the engine unless it is reactivated by the remote.

 

wow, that sucks. good luck with everything doode. remember, anything you do to your car, alarm wise, is never a guarantee. it just stalls them fro another 5 seconds. haha

 

I asked my shop to install it for me, when I got my Clifford a few years ago. They refused because they said it would give me a lot of problems in NY. Apparently, the signal that it uses can be affected by antenna towers, especially in Midtown Manhattan. Installer said he had a few customer cars that sometimes didn't start for that reason. Clifford was supposed to be redoing it to make the signal stronger etc.

 

That sucks. Well I will check back with the shop that installed my alarm to see if they have the upgraded version. Here in San Diego that may not be a problem though (as in Manhattan), but still I would not want a component that is not working properly. So if it is not ready, I will wait, or do something else.

 

sorry for your loss, that sucks!!!

 

Anybody know the cheapest place to buy a bunch of 15 amp fuses? Whenever I park in a n unsafe place, I pull the fuel-pump fuse and I worry that I'm going to break it with all the use.
