The title says it all.

Do you think if i added a 130dB airhorn and shock sensor to the stock alarm it would be enough security? (Please ignore the ambiguity of the word enough, assume that enough means enough for you).

Yes I have searched, but i want real reasons why an aftermarket alarm would be better. I will either do this or get a viper 600 with trunk pin/pop and starter kill.

Basically, i want to feel that if i get the viper, i would be gaining something, right now i feel i would be spending $370 for a shock sensor and louder horn and lose the window roll down and dome light supervision (i know i can add these, but they are expensive).

 

You do know Nissan was a bit slow in designing the 4th gen alarm systems? How about you go outside; with your rear windows down, lock the car with the alarm set.. Unlock one of the rear doors and proceed to start the car from the back seat and take a ride... Is that secure for you?

 

if i add the shock sensor, it will go off, so this is a non issue

next...

 

Kill Switch

Wire one up on the fuel pump...

 

thats a HELL of an idea, i REALLY like that! i could just do a regular SPST switch and mount it somewhere really inconspicuous and that would **** the hell out of theves

 

Mines zip tied through a hole in the ebrake handle... shhh... don't tell anybody

I can switch it on and off with one motion as i set release the brake.

Just remember, if you forget to switch it on then try to start the car, turn the key off and wait a second before switching it on and starting... I blew the IGN fuse by switching it quickly, luckly the power windows/locks/sunroof fuse is the same so i could get home.

 

why do you need to wait? is the ignition fuse a small fuse in the panel or one of the large fuses in the engine bay?

 

Big 30A under the hood... i dont know why exactly, but i know it was cause i forgot to turn it on, started the car a sec, immediately switched the kill switch on and poof no power. So now i stop and wait... all is well so far.

 

i wonder if it is possible to have some sort of relay to the alarm system, so that when it is armed, the pump is off and unarmed on.

but thats still wierd
