If you're serious about preventing thefts, an aftermarket security system may be your best bet.
If you've ever lived in a big city, the sound of blaring car alarms is likely burned into your memory. But those factory-installed noise makers aren't the only tool for preventing car theft. They may not even be the best tool.
Many new vehicles come with a factory-installed security system. These alarms sound when the vehicle is locked, and the system detects that the doors or trunk being disturbed. Most do not even offer content protection from breaking in through the windows.
But car thieves are so sophisticated these days that many can get into a vehicle protected by a factory-installed alarm and be gone before anyone realizes what's happened. Some thieves even use special receivers to steal the signals from key fobs and gain access to vehicles without setting off the alarm.
If you'd prefer to prevent vehicle theft rather than react to it, you might want to consider additional measures. This is where a system offered by VIPER, PRESTIGE, and Pursuit come into play.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN AFTERMARKET ALARM SYSTEM
Automotive security experts recommend considering three things before choosing an aftermarket alarm:
• Do you want a noisy alarm that broadcasts the situation or a silent alarm that alerts you through your smartphone?
• Do you want your system to include GPS tracking in case your car is stolen?
• Do you want a built-in immobilizer that prevents the thief from getting very far?
• Do you want a system that sounds when the windows are broken, or the vehicle is lifted to remove the wheels and tires?
Once you've made these choices, you can move on to selecting the specific type of preventive measures you want to take.

professional installation, so make sure you locate an authorized dealer that has been factory trained.. They will have
the expertise to recommend what you need and make sure it’s installed correctly.
