My Experiences:

While most cars come with a security system of some sort, I was still not confortable with mine. I mean, these days we have Satellite radios, some have DVD players, GPS units etc. Do you feel comfortable with a passive system installed right from from your dealers factory? I decided I would go looking for something more and that is when I found the Crime Guard 650i5. The first thing that caught my eye was the pricetag. The complete kit costs $149.99. It may seem quite steap but when you look at the total of all the audio/video electronics in your car, you realize it really isn't so bad.

The Crime Guard has a ton of features including some of these,  

  • a dual-zone shock sensor that detects violations around your car's interior and exterior;
  • two dual-zone impact sensor ports for expandability;
  • a powerful siren that warns of an intrusion;
  • a starter interrupt feature which shuts down ignition during unauthorized use.

    • I love the starter interrupt feather, so someone can't steal your car! And the loud siren is enough to wake up the local Air National Guard!

    Installation I would leave to a professional but shouldn't cost you alot of money to have it installed. But this is one nice security system! So if you want to protect your assets please take a look!

    1. Wish we would have had this in my son's truck! His radio was stolen last week! Great review. Sounds like a great system.

    2. I agree with you, the security system that came with my car is something to be desired. Thanks for the detailed information! Great review

    3. This sounds like a quality car security system well woth the money. I love the fact that it has the starter interrupt system to prevent one from driving off with your vehicle and the loud siren. I agree, the systems they install with new cars aren't always the best ones. Excellent review!

    4. I will have to keep this one in mind. It sounds like a great system. Thanks for sharing this information.

    5. I think the best feature for me regarding this product is the ignition shut down. I would hop ethat I would never need it, but this sounds appealing to me. I voted!

    6. The Crime Guard security system sounds great. I think my car has a pretty good security system, but this would add extra protection. It's certainly worth checking into.

    7. Right now all I have is the panic button on my key ring. We don't really have much car crime around here, but I guess you never know when you are going to need something like that. Voted.

    8. Sounds like a great system. I had a security system on my VW when I lived in Miami and it did not deter the criminals from breaking into my car....not at all:0( Still it is a good thing to have.

    9. Wow. I have never heard of this before. It's too bad that we have to worry about so much today. voted.

    10. Sounds like a great security system. Thanks for the great review. I voted for you!!

    11. I never really thought about getting an additional security system for my car but when you list all the features of this one it does make sense. Good explanation of all the specs, and if my car is getting stolen and the National Guard can hear the alarm you better bet they should respond! hehe :o) Nice review!

    14. Tried to install this on my previous girlfriend as she was always being stolen by other guys. The directions were easy to understand and ever since i installed it, it never happened again! Voted

    15. I like the fact that you suggested leaving the installation process to the professionals! This sounds like a fabulous system!

      Chocollette on April 16, 2008 07:29 (reply to this)

    16. Another great and detailed review. I don't have much in my car (no satellite radio, or GPS, and just the radio/DVD that came in my compact POS car...) but this does sound worth having, especially if you have a nice car and good things in it. I would have to leave it to an expert to install it; I'm not skilled at that kind of thing! I enjoyed this review too!

    17. Thank you for the detailed and informative review. I agree that a good security system is important.

    18. Never realized this was available and I can see many advantages to having this installed. Excellent job on your review listing the specs and detailed information. Thanks for sharing this and sent you a vote!

    19. LOL BILL:):) I loved your comment. I like this Crime Guard package. I agree that you cannot and should not rely solely on factory pre installs.

      froggy on April 18, 2008 01:57 (reply to this)

    20. Sad but true. We have so many electronics in our cars that we really need to protect them with a system. This would definitely scare away someone trying to break into your car. It must be really loud!

      Tink on April 18, 2008 21:52 (reply to this)

    21. I agree with the above statement. We live outside of the city limits and have motion lights and dogs and we still have to lock our cars here, a better security system would ease the mind and probably even lower the insurance rate.

    22. Oh I love the starter interrupt feature. I didnt know they made car alarm systems with that in it. Sounds like something I would be interested in for sure. My vehicle has a standard dealership system in it and im not entirely impressed! Voted for you

      shelly on April 20, 2008 03:27 (reply to this)

    23. Good review. I voted. That is a good price for all those features.

      Melissa on April 21, 2008 00:39 (reply to this)

    24. This does sound like a nice system and I really do not think that $150 is too much to pay to get a bumped up security system for your car. I do like the starter interruption feature. One thing that I do not see and I am not sure how pricey of a feature it would be is the one that gives you a beep on your actual key chain button so that when you are far enough away from your vehicle to not hear the siren you still know about it. I am not sure if it can be an add on but it is a feature that has been in the back of my mind since I heard about it.
