I was just wondering how the maxima stock alarm works and how sensative it is. What will make it go off? Was wondering if an aftermarket alarm system is any good. The reason I ask all of this is I am a college student, so I don't like the fact that I have to keep the car in a dark parking lot all the time.

it'll go off when it's on and someone's trying to open the locks. Never had it go off for any other reason.

if it's on and you pop the hood it will go off also.

its not very sensitive. one time i came out of my dorm and there were 3 strangers sitting on my hood. i wasn't exactly thrilled to see that.

If it's on and you left the windows open and try to unlock the car through the window..

The only way it'll go off is if you open something, whether doors, trunk, or hood. It has no shock sensors. Good thing is that it has a starter killswitch so you can't start the car unless the alarm is disarmed.
