Any recommedations for a good auto alarm place.

Had one installed a year ago. They did a bad job. The alarm goes off occasionally for no reason at all.

My advice is to go with a good system. The best installation of a cheap system will eventually go bad. Especially driving around Tijuana on a daily basis - rock, rattle and roll...

sensor may need ajustment or be replaced.

when your buying a alarm, which is a closed circuit with sensors.

more money you pay, more sensor youget/ advance sensores and more add ons.

the installation part is how clean/factory look it maintains.

take the car into alarm shop and see if its a sensor thats causing the false alarms...

Yes sensors do go bad and the cheap ones even faster. I have found that often the problem is in the brain of the unit which on very cheap units seem to have a mind of their own instead of sticking to the set program...

not really, in a car. simple the alarm system is less problem it will give to the owner.

all electronis will go bad, brain is just a processor that monitors the sensors...

more complicated the system is more room to go bad.

buy a proven name brand alarm system, not the most expansive ..

have a experience alarm installer do the job so the sensors can be mounted in a car correct way in best possible place.

I never said buy the most expensive system. I said buy a good one, just not the cheapest. Cheap alarm systems have very cheap control units and with a lot of rattling around they are famous for going bad. It's a simple fact...

Even the best system, poorly installed will not be very good.....

True, as will the cheapest system installed by an expert installer in a car that will be driving around TJ. Logically you want a good system installed by a good installer. Didn't think it need to be clarified...

[sdc]

To mee it looked like it did need to be clarified for you because OtayBill was asking for a good installer and you replied with how you need a good system....not answering his question at all....

It's funny how you can write so much and be so useless....

But then what do you know....

[BajaGringo]

True - probably goes back to my last post made on the beer thread. We should probably have video cams on here to make it more clear...

Sorry I was out of line....hatchet has just been buried.... :wink:

[BajaGringo]

No apologies needed. Life is too short to carry grudges and I certainly don't. A few beers and we won't even remember...
