I had an older Viper system on another car. It had a sensitivity setting, but I found at it's most sensitive setting, you could still touch the car without setting off the alarm. It's very difficult to prevent keying unless you stand there and watch it. It could be a diamond ring cut, which is narrower and deeper. I had one of those on the side window of another machine. A good body shop can tell the difference, although the cost to repaint will be the same.

Proxi sensors with a viper alarm and dual battery setup. Isolate the 2nd battery for alarm only. This way the other battery will insure your truck starts at all times. Hook the proxy sensors up to your horn and lights.

That's about the only thing you can do that I'm aware of.

There was a local guy with an H1 here in Denver with those. The roof rack had the sensors setup to turn lights on all around his truck. ...cool!!!

Try the Black widow security system, it offers a remote paging system with extended code jumping technology. I believe the transmitter has a very long range to the paging unit and its compatible with remote start capable vehicles.

As mentioned above, proxy motion detectors are the only way to reduce the amount of people coming close to your car.
I have the Viper along with interior AND exterior motion proxys on my H2. Once a person walks within X amount of feet of the vehicle, the alarm will chirp several times. If the motion persists, after 30 sec, the alarm(loud speaker!) will go full blown and everyone hears it. BUT be warned, you'll get MANY false alarms. Strong wind, heavy rain, heavy snow... this all activates the proxys. Also, with an interior proxy, having your windows down and the alarm activated, a butterfly that might fly in will set it off... keep in mind that sensitivity levels are adjustable.

Now what I do is have and AUX button programmed on my remote that allows me to activate the alarm without the motion proxy.. that way I can judge by the area whether the proxy's are needed or not.

Hope this helps,

Regards

I used to love DEI alarms (Viper,Python,etc) but now I recommend Compustar their 2-way is amazing and its has long range almost 2-3X that of DEI.

BUT...none of thse will stop ur car from getting scratched...i had the same problem got scratched...repainted got scratched again left it like this till i catch one of these ****ers so they can pay for it.

But if you want a alarm for security get 2-way Compustar.....DEI used to be amazing until they expanded their business beyond just alarms.

Other then that i would recommend waiting to catch the ****er......or maybe you can figure out a way to shock this ****ers when they touch the car....lolololol

The problem with the motion sensors is the wind will set them off and stuff. Its hard to get them sensitive enough that it'll pickup people walking by and keying the truck, yet not pickup false alarms every 10 mins when a bird flies by.
