I have been wondering the same thing

"I want to BANG DAN!"

Actually, I have no idea...

OK, I am a lawyer in Texas and this is my answer to your question on liability. You are essentially creating a booby-trap with the shock thingy. This is not allowed. Although not lethal, it is like booby trapping your house with a shotgun rigged to go off if burglars break in. A good thought but not a wise move.

Guess that means the flamethrower gizmo is out of the question, eh?

Good advice.

I hear the flame thrower is legal in South Africa as a deterrent to carjackings.

I have the Clifford Matrix RSX 3.5. Like I said before Viper and Clifford are both made by DEI so it's essentially the same.

You can view the options from that page.

I also have the Clifford Matrix RSX 3.5 it is a GREAT alarm it has all the bells and whistles including Remote Start. It has the longest range on the market with the window antenna reciever. I installed it last weekend I have the window modules for remote window roll up and vent but I am not sure if DEI has an interface yet for the 06's. If anyone has any news regarding this please let me know!!!
Thanks

id go with the viper. but every lil fancy gadget you add cost more money. hey taz i have always had this idea tell me if its possable. when your alarm goes off something will call your cell phone and let you hear whats goin on inside the car that way if your shopin or something you wont be fooled by a page for nothing cuzz you would be able to hear everything. even better if you could talk back to them. haha im commin with my 9mm f-ers ya better run.

Anything is possible, just depends on how much you are willing to spend. I think it would be pretty cool.

Yes, it's definitely possible. I remember reading about a Jeep Cherokee that had that done, and that was back in 92 or 93 so I guarantee you can get that now.

My next project when I get time will be installing video cameras and having it start recording to a DVR once the proximity sensor goes off. Then possibly uploading the mpeg's via wireless link to a remote server. I'm meeting with a few top guys from DEI in a week or so and will get this into the planning stage.

DeBest - I'll also ask the DEI boys about the 06 interface on your alarm.

H2-SUT-SC i would really appreciate it if you can check with DEI about the interface for the windows, I got everything to work with the exception of the windows. With the stock global windows we could not get it to work. I'll be interested in hearing what they suggest as a fix for that.

imo, it really doesn't matter what alarm you get, it has to just be reliable. the statistics say that if a burgler cannot disable the alarm within 30 seconds they will usually walk away. but here's what happens: they can tag team.

1 person: breaks glass and pops hood
2 person: cuts horn

done. then they have all the time they need to do whatever. most places do a quick and cheap install where anyone and everyone would see the brain and experienced car theives are educated enough with car alarms that they're able to bypass these.

in addition, most people don't look around anymore (until it gets annoying) when a car alarm goes off because people set them off on accident so often that if it turns off quick enough it must have been the owner's mistake.

so when installing, make sure the alarm horn is VERY hard to get to, especially the wires to it. if you can make it them look factory, the better you'd be. also, have a backup battery or power source for the horn so if they happen to cut the wire to it, it will still honk/sound. third, hide that brain waaaaaaaaay up in the vehicle or behind the center console. the only pain is that you'll have to take out your shifter, shifter surround, armrest, and armrest surround just to take off the center console.

hope that helps. alarms are great if you have additional safeguards. normal installations anymore are useless since theives are always learning new tricks.

This is why My partner Dragon gets to figure out how he is going to install my alarm. I'm going to shock somebody with mine. Most are not smart enough to go legal and if they do I get to press charges because they need to prove why they were trying to get in. We can see who finishs first or out of money last. I'm tired of the crud balls and I'll take my fine and set it up again.
Get busy after Vegas Dragon
