I got suckered into buying a car security system because, well, who knows where I'll take my car in this life. It's an investment, so why not put the money down? I have a KARR Security System and I can say there are some benefits and some negatives here.Does it do a good job as an alarm system? Yes. It has three modes so I can set the security level of the system to suit my taste. There...

About 6 years ago I lived in an apartment for about 2 years and right after I moved in, I knew I needed a car starter. I live in Michigan and if anyone is familiar with our winters, it can get pretty cold. Well it only took about 2 mornings of digging my car out of the snow, starting it and waiting for it to warm up for me to head to the local automotive store and check out car starters.A frien...

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 c...

I have a Jeep Wranger, with a soft top, and  I decided I needed an alarm. I have had my Jeep broken into in the past, and having some sort of alarm would make me feel better leaving my car with the top down in parking lots. Since I have a soft-top, I don’t fear people taking my car, I fear them taking things that are in my car. I looked around at all the wheel drive magazines, a...

We have a Subaru Forester, which comes with a standard alarm system. We received 3 keyless entry/alarm remotes with the purchase of the vehicle.While I really love the fact that the alarm comes standard, the alarm is a very basic alarm. It is the type that gives off very loud noise in our choice of various noisy sounds when the vehicle door is opened while the alarm is engaged. The alarm should...

I installed this security system on my car back in 2005.  It is still operating, but it lacks a heck of a lot of bells and whistles that the new security systems have.I like the python, because to me it says security.  It comes with two three button transmitters, the ability to flash your parking lights to locate your car in a crowded lot, and the "Revenger six-tone siren" t...

I got this car alarm when i purchased my car in 2004.   I bought this alarm because it came with the pager.   The pager is basically a picture of a car and it tells you where the car is being broken into.   I remember I had my car for about 2 years when someone tried to open it.   I was happy that the car alarm went off very loudly as to al...

The Audiovox Remote Start and Keyless Entry System is a great item to have for your car.  It is selling at a price of $79.99 at Kmart.  You can get it online or when you visit a store.  This makes turning on your car a breeze.  Don't worry about findng your keys when you have this little gem.I saw someone using this the other day to get into their car.  It look...

When we bought my Acura MDX, we were given lots of add-on options, once of which was a remote starter/security system. My husband jumped at it.  After a long, hot day or shopping, you can start your car before leaving the store....the a/c comes on and cools the car before you even get in. How great does that sound?  Overall, we've been pretty happy with the system. We weren't ...

When looking at cars at a GM Dealership, we had the opportunity to get a demonstration on the On Star Security System.  I am no expert in Security Systems, but I was told that this system does not require a whole lot of knowledge.  On Star and GM do all the hard work for you.It was interesting to see how this system could really protect you.  It does more then just protect your v...

How many of us dread having to go out to warm up the car when there is a severe snowstorm or when it is just plain freezing outside? My daughter-in-law and son and my mother's cars all have automatic startup which has proved to be very useful. I wanted the ability to do the same thing so we had a system installed on our car and have been very pleased with it.Thi system has a one thousand fo...

I had this alarm system installed in my Blazer when I got it and really like it. It has a zone alarm system that will let you know what door has been tampered with depending on how many times it beeps when you disarm. It has a proximity alert that will warn someone who is near your vehicle. The remot has four buttons on it. The first is to lock/unlock doors, the second is the trunk release, the...
