Many times, choosing a car alarm installation for your vehicle can be a truly confusing task, but if you know what’s available, then you can make it a fun experience. Let’s talk about the features available and how you can choose what you really need.
Brand Name: First, you have to ask yourself, which brand do I want to go for? There are many out there, such as Python, Viper, Hornet, Crimestopper, and Cobra. Funny how they all seem to have snake names.
They all have different features and different capabilities. Keep in mind these are not the only brands out there, these are just a few that come to mind. But when you choose an alarm, always go with a trusted brand name because you can really lose money going with generic ones that aren’t really backed up by a trusted company.
Features: The next thing you want to consider are the features you want your alarm system to have. Here are some of the standard ones. You can make it so that when you activate your alarm, your car doors lock. And when you deactivate, the doors unlock. These are the most common standard features that all alarms have.
However, some features like Automatic Car Start are only available on the higher end ones. Basically, you can start your car from inside your house with the alarm remote. That makes it very convienient when it’s hot outside and you want you car to be cool when you get in it… or vice versa.
Certified Shop: The next thing you want to do is call a car alarm installation shop and ask them if their installers are certfied installation professionals. You don’t want to go to a shop that’s only been in business for 5 months and whose installer have no real experience. They’ll most likely end up making a mess and shorting your car out.
When you contact the shop, ask them which car alarm brands they carry and which one they recommend. Listen to their recommendation because many times they’ll give you some good tips or highlight some features you may not have thought of.
If you stick to these simple tips, you’ll have a good experience and you’ll most likely enjoy of your car alarm system for many years to come.
