If u have read my post properly you'll know that i want a DETERRENT. alarms can be useful when it triggers an automatic remote signal (to ur mobile) or when its parked in ur home to notify u of a breakin. alarms can be lifesaving if ur wife is confronted by a robber while parking or shopping alone. some alarms have extremely high decible emissions that actually effectively deter the thieves/robbers/kidnappers whatever.lack of civic consciousness by the public, untrained/stupid security personnel and plain carelessness by car owners are not reasons to label alarms as lousy or useless. if u think alarms are useless by all means disable or remove it from your car<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> My point here, if you care to actually pay attention to is simply TO HAVE A CHOICE WHEN I BUY A HIGHLY ADVANCED, AND MAY I ADD EXPENSIVE PIECE OF MACHINERY, OF WHETHER I WANT AN ALARM OR NOT. as it is, we have no choice but to be given a car thats a sitting duck for thieves. and as it turns out from some of the replies i got, to retrofit the oem alarm is not only expensive, but a time consuming affair which could have been easily avoided by having a simple optional choice for the buyer.get it?</blockquote>
