On the topic of car alarms (sorry to hijack the thread) but are they really worth installing? I've got an imobiliser in my car and I think that's enough. A car alarm's just gonna make noise if somebody tries to steal the car, but nobody's gonna check on it. I see car alarms going off all the time in the city and nobody checks the damn things.

An alarm is useful. Especially if you are within earshot yourself. Paging alarms are also useful. Far from foolproof but better than nothing.

I have always checked alarms if they are not too far out of my way. I have yet to see one going off that was caused by someone breaking into the car but I still check anyway. I suspect the reason why everyone ignores alarms is because no one ever sees anyone breaking into a car.

cheers for the responses lads.

cheers Ben :) Yeah I've got the Autosalon magazine. I'll give it to my friend to read thru.

Are there any 'best practices' that should be followed when having your alarm installed?

    • Placing bets on my stock oem RB25 rods, orrrrrrr........? Β πŸ˜‚πŸ’€ for anyone interested, Insta is : @genuine_rb13 https://www.instagram.com/genuine_rb13?igsh=MTR5dGh4NWh0NHg3cA==
    • Hahahahah, look, your not wrong πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ and thank you brother πŸ™πŸΌ jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! πŸ˜… every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts. Im shooketh, go easy on me hahahaha or don't πŸ€™πŸΌπŸ˜Š Β  Β  Β 
    • If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.
    • I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
    • Yes, so it won't work for places with no photos on the net. I would have said that there are no photos of the inside of my house on the net, but....then I realised that my kids' parties would have had bazzillions of photos of the living spaces, kitchen etc put on insta and other shitmedia. So... you can see how insidious it is.
