Car alarms for MR-S

Post by goufcustom »

Hello Guys!

I think this would be last topic for tonight before go to sleep.

As my 2002 Mr-S, doesn't even have remote for central lock, I decide to get a car alarms.

I searched online, there is 3 stars and 4 stars. any significant difference? Just marketing?

Mongoose or AVS or else?

Any recommandation? Is it more secure with car alarms in softtop car or just waste of money?

Any feedback would be welcome!!!

Boosted cars are like hot women.
A little edgy, every guy wants one,
some guys can't handle them,
and if you throw a little alcohol in them they'll rock your world.

Hold yer horses one sec...

Does your car come equipped with the remote locking computer under the dash?

Check to see if you can get a remote coded to your car first.
