Hi Volks,
Actually I HATE car alarms. Or rather, I hate all the false alarms that
punish my ears and my brain. In the past I have sworn that I would not be
caught dead with a car alarm..... But I have learned in life that it is
dangerous to use the word never.....
And so it has come to pass that I am looking for a car alarm to install in
my 90 Westy Syncro.

But I still hate false alarms and I am hoping to have a system that does not
false alarm (as in ZERO false alarms). From what I have learned so far that
seems to eliminate having a shock sensor (wind false alarms) or a motion
sensor (micro wave false alarms). As far as I can tell that pretty much
leaves me with door contact alarm triggers and a glass shatter sensor. And I
am thinking that it would be best if I install this alarm myself since it
seems that every time I have a 'professional' work on my van something gets
messed up (and the quality of the workmanship is usually poor). Just the
thought of one of these 'professionals' working in that jumble of wires
behind the main fuse panel is enough to give me nightmares.
So I would love to receive your suggestions as to:
Best brand/model of car alarms....
Best place to buy a car alarm....
Placement of the components....
How/where to run wires to door contacts, etc.
And any other hot tips that might keep me out of trouble...
Thanks
Bill
