claykin wrote It sure would be nice if alarm type functionality could be added to the RemoteKey+ product. A real siren, shock sensor, glass break, detect open doors....
To be perfectly honest - alarms are a complete waste of money since most people simply ignore an alarm siren - dismissing it as an annoyance. If an experienced thief wants into your car - he will get in.
Most people in the past purchase alarms for (2) features - confirmation chirps when the door is locked and and the blinking mirror LED as a deterrent.
Let's give a possible scenario of 5 M3s parked out front of a nightclub side by side, only 1 out of those 5 have the blinking mirror LED. Most times, the thief will go for the easier target (excluding valuables in plain view inside the vehicle).
You rarely hear of BMWs being stolen, they have a very efficient disable system that works with EWS equipped from factory.
Alarms are simply noisemakers in today's society and will only sound off after the damage has already been done. A suitable
deterrent is what's needed and exactly what remoteKEY will provide.
