Hey what kinda alarms are you guys using on your cars? do you like them?

I also have a question, i have a 2003 civic si/ex i have remote locks and when i lock it twice it beeps/honks is that a factory alarm ? how does it work or w/e should i not bother getting an alarm if i have this?

 

ask yourself if you want better security than a factory alarm?simple man...

 

so if i get an alarm will my factory alarm no longer be there or will i have two alarms the aftermarket and stock? lol

 

What you have is Keyless Entry, I have the same thing on my 05, It's just the locks and panic. You can install an aftermarket alarm without it interfering with it, But unfortunately you should check in the audio,security and video forum. You will be able to get better answers there.

 

we dont have a factory alarm, we just have a keyless entry

 

on my car, i guess i opted for "security," as when the doors are locked and the windows are down, if the car's door lock is opened manually and the door is then opened, the car beeps... and the ignition switch is disabled

Is it not an option there? UK cars have a Honda alarm fitted. Or at least mine does.

 

alarm is another option that can be added to the keyless remote functionally.

Honestly, i dont think an alarm is necessary because us civic has transponder key.
unless you have expensive radio and other equipment in your car..

 

I still haven't figured that one out! Try this one on for size? Every time I 'unlock' my car via remote? it rearms itself within a minute!? Puzzled.

 

yeah my car beeps to when i open the door after using the remote or w/e.

 

The beeping when you push your lock button twice in most cases is not an alarm. It is simply an audible confirmation that your doors are in fact locked.

Also, when unlocking the door with the button, the car will re-lock itself after a certain period of time if you have not opened a door, mostly as a 'just in case you forgot' feature.

I have seen some civics with another sticker above the transponder key sticker denoting an alarm. As for the car beeping when you unlock the door manually and open it with the windows down, I'm pretty sure that only happens if you have power windows, because it doesn't happen on mine, with power locks and manual windows. On my friend's car, it happens, but if you shake the car really hard, or try to pull on the door handles, nothing happens like it would with a real alarm system.

 

when my windows are up and everythings closed and i unlock it, when i open the door it beeps for a second and then stops, not when my windows are down

 

The horn, or the little beeper inside.

It's an option. factory option, i dont think a good one at that.

i have a 790xv

 

the beeper inside the car.

what does the aux button on ur alarm key do?

 

nothing on mine but i can make it do things like roll up/down my windows if i buy the right module for it.

i got mine like 2yrs ago, not sure what the newest version of it is now, maybe 791xv...

it's a good alarm, remote start, pager, tells me when someone opens my doors/hood/trunk

 

oh i dont really want a remote start. So thats a useless feature to me how much did you pick it up for?

 

like 250 3yrs ago, not sure now.

remote start is the best, i use it everyday, specially during winter

 

I have a pager alarm also, its the Clifford Matrix 3.5. Found it on amazon.com for under 200 NIB.

 

I got the Compustar 2WSS-A. Works really well

 

remote start on a 5 speed? will best buy do it for me or do i need to go to a shop? cause i'm pretty sure that they won't...

 

factory alarm all the way!! i kno a local shop that will do a remote start on man. trans.
