So, My car ( check lower sig link ) does not have a car alarm. I've been meaning to get one for a long time, but everytime I save up, I buy other crap.
Instead of going out to Circuity City, Best Buy, etc . . . I want to build my own.
Only reason for this is that, my g/f got one for her integra from CC, had them do the install and it f*ing sucks. I got aftermarket front bumper/corner lights for her car and they were stolen a week later, replaced ( repurchased! ); second pair, someone took just the driver side , again replaced, now the 3rd pair is in there...bolted in with 3 nuts locking it down and tape wrapping the nuts so you cant twist them , lol. But the alarm never chirped or went off. Dont know the exact brand, but it has a 2 way pager with screen on keychain pager.
Anywho, we had them look at it after the first theft, and they changed the settings to the most sensitive , and it goes off if a cat walks by or stands near the car to long, but I can walk up, unscrew the bumper lights, walk away, wait a minute or 2, come back, but them back in, and it wont even chirp. Also I had her set arm it the other day, walked by and kicked the side fairly well, also the tires, and just stood there for like 15 minutes, and nothing.
AND on xmas night, someone slim jimmed her car, and it went off, but thats besides the point....point is, someone was able to stand next to the car, directly in front of the glass and do that without it ever chirping, only going off once the door was OPENED, not unlocked.....i tested it and was able to open the lock without it going off with a slim jim.
So FINALLY, I want to build my own car alarm that has proximity in the front, side & rear . . . 2 way pager if possible, LCD display not neccesary, engine cut off , headlight and tail-light activation, siren and the ability to strobe a bright light inside the car ...thinking about installing tiny Hyper white LED's in odd area's of the car ( 4 points of ceiling ) and a few around the center console as to blind and dis-arrange any type of intruder ....
Anyone know how to do this, or best suggestions to do so, and where to get the best deals on prices for quality stuff ?
Thanx again, take care.
