i am reading alot of stories about people getting their rims stolen and ****, i'm thinking about buying rims but i need some kind of protection on them?? what can i do about it ???

 

Everyone is saying regular alarms and wheel locks are pointless... I'd invest in an alarm with shock sensor and 2 way pager... Only way to save your stuff is to catch them in the act... once they are gone, they will most likely never be seen again...

 

or you can just buy 4 diff kinds of wheel locks?

 

if u have a pitbulls lock him inside the car and one chained around it.

 

wheel locks don't guarantee protection... but they do slow down the bastard theif

 

Yea having 5 different wheel locks all from different brands will definitely slow down them thieves!

 

I think I need an Alarm. Any recommendations on where to get one installed?

I'll check the ICE guys out. I think I heard of them before. They're in the shop that used to fix motorcycles correct?

 

yep they took over where RAM cycles used to be. Syrus is a good duded. tell him J&D sent ya theyll hook it up.

 

+1 for Cyrus and ICE (In Car Electronics). I had my 2-way alarm installed there with a ton of bells and whistles and he did an awesome job. Everyone told me that I will have to loss a keyfob when doing remote start on my car but he installed the alarm with remote start without me losing a keyfob.

Yup. Syrus is the name I remember. I'm actually really good friends with one of the owners of RAM. Alex. His new shop on E.Gude is awesome. Thanks for the info Steeeeze. I'll check him out.

 

What's a 2way alarm if you don't mind me asking?

 

When your alarm goes you get notified on your keychain and it tells you what is being done to your car (Broken driver side mirror, Broken passenger side mirror, trunk opened, left side door opened, etc). Its nice cause depending on your alarm it has up to a 1 mile radius. The remote start is also nice for the winter (wamring up your car while you get ready to go to work).

 

Dang that sounds expensive. I'll check it out though. all except the remote start. I'll eff around and leave it in gear... Hit the button... Car takes off with no driver... Yikes!!! Happened to a friend years ago getting his car serviced at a dealer. The service dept did it so they covered the damages.

Thanks for the info.

 

Remote start shouldn't be installed on manual transmission for that reason. Some transmissions have a wire you could tap to detect if it in neutral. If a car has that then its safe to install a remote start cause you could tap that wire and first check if it’s in neutral before starting the car otherwise its a bad idea to install remote start on a manual transmission car.
