Car Alarm Scanners

[csvt2200]

Planning to get a paging alarm system soon, and also looking at getting the Varad Scanner below just for the extra looks and notice that I have an alarm for those thieves out there. Anyways, does anyone else have one? Just trying to get some ideas of where to mount it.

IMO when thieves see this kind of scanner most of the time people install it for the look and dont even have a alarm on the car so you still have a lot of chance to end up with a broken window

I heard at a CEG meet a while back that the cars without PATS got hit, but the cars with PATS didn't.

Suppose the theives thought the PATS light was a factory alarm.

Just keep all your valuables OUT of the car and you shouldn't have a problem.

That Varad Scanner thing looks like rice to me. Why do you need something so gawdy looking? Whats wrong with the single blinking led?

That thing looks like a weapon of the future!

Actually I think it looks like something batman would have on his utility belt.

you've got to be kidding me. I'll just unhook my sub and amp (pic below) and take it out of my car and just carry it with me everywhere I go...

i would mount it on the back of your rear view mirror.

I saw something in Autozone yesterday that made me laugh. It was solar-powered scanning LEDs, you just stick it on your dashboard.

Anyway, that thing looks similar to the solar-powered fake I saw, similar enough that any theif might think you're faking an alarm and will go for it. Whether or not your alarm does go off and they run off, you will still have a broken window or two to deal with.

If you are adament about the idea of a scanner, I would rig up several red LEDs and drill them in through the Contour plate on the dashboard, bout 1 inch spaces between. It would take a lot more time and ingenuity than just plugging that thing in, but would look pretty awesome IMO...

Mount it on the front grill and name you car K.I.T.T.
