"Thief" problem!!!!!!!!

[sackings2003]

I gonna install a Navigation on my Solara. I want to know how can I prevent the thieves away from my vehicle?? Although I already have a 2- way alarm system, I'm still afraid the NAV will get stolen by the thieves.
P.S. I cannot take the whole NAV out of the panel because it will be totally fixed by some screws.

hire a bodyguard for the car

lolz....

There is not real way to stop them from breaking into your car. the safest way is to stay stock.. but then again that sometimes isn't safe anyways.

If you are really afraid of someone seeing your headunit. Tint your windows. so they can see in. thats my best suggestion.

I think a dark 5% tint would do the job on all side and rear windows...and it just might be cheaper than a autobody guard

[sackings2003]

But the front sides 5% tint is illegal in California. So........

Anyway, I've found a great post about security from "SoundDomain.com", guys check this out:

its ok.. cops dont really f with you that much.. my gf has 13% tint all around with dark grey interior.. never been f'ed with.. also i have 16 in rear and 32 in front.. at night you can't see the inside.. been over 2 yrs and haven't been hassled by it...

but i would get a good alarm horn. nice and loud...to help..

imho, i think tinting the windows is a worse idea than leaving the fronts non tinted.

it arouses the curiousity of the general public, plus cops.

does the nav unit have a detachable face plate?

make sure your insurance carrier covers the upgraded system.

you can make custom screws with a dremmel so no one out there has the same tool as you as well...

Sorry, I don't think so........

Plus, here's a good security system (you guys need to download the video) I wish to have in my vehicle.

Looks good . . . for a mere $600 too! I'd feel safer . . .

hope that sensor is not that senstive

[HKSV6SLE]

im thinking bout adding more field sensors to my alarm, otherwise not much you can do. just be glad that you dont have a honda/acura cuz at loeast out there they are more likely to be targets

[Mudd]

Sensors won't really do much. Get a back-up battery and a couple of piezo sirens inside the car. Make it hurt to sit in the car with the alarm going off. That's what I do. And it's scared off the one guy who broke into my car. He cut the battery terminal and underhood siren, the internal sirens kept going, and he bolted.

That's about all you can do. Remember, if someone wants something bad enough, they're going to get it. Best thing you can do is document everything inside your car for insurance purposes.

yep backup battery for the alarm, perimeter sensor (also referred to as dual-zone sensor)...and throw a towel over the dash so as to cover up anything valuable when parked...people might thing ur overprotective of the dash!

This also shows to people that you have something need to be hidden.
