Do you want your vehicle’s car alarm to be installed correctly? Do you want the defects covered by the warranty to be avoided with your purchase? Isn’t a price tag of less than $100 a little too good to be true when it comes to protecting the security of your car? If any of these questions were "Yes," we advise against buying a security system over the internet. You will need to visit a security specialist or attempt to install it yourself, as none of the search results above include professional installation. Moreover, you will immediately be voiding the warranty on your product if you try to install the system yourself! We advise you to locate a local retailer that specializes in vehicle security and employs skilled installers. Only they can offer the hardware and services that best suit your requirements.
A basic car alarm/security installation for a non-luxury vehicle will cost between $159.99 and $249.99, according to a quick survey of Compustar dealers. The majority of automobile alarm/security systems range in price from $159.99 to $249.99 and come with the following parts:
- Professional installation – A retailer should, first and foremost, know how to safely install a car alarm on your car without affecting any of its original features.
- REMOTE(S): An extended-range key fob for locking and disarming the security system in your car.
- ALARM SIREN: Compared to OEM-installed horns and sirens, aftermarket security systems typically have sirens that are noticeably louder.
- SHOCK SENSORS: These sensors detect impacts or intrusions from intruders and, when activated, sound an alarm.
- PROVIDER’S WARRANTY – The manufacturer will support an authorized retailer in fixing any issues you may have with your vehicle alarm/security system.
Let’s investigate if you can install an alarm system in your car.
The installer of an alarm system for your car will install sensors and other hardware to enable the alarm to detect and discourage car theft. Depending on the vehicle, an average car alarm installation will take two to three hours, according to a survey of car alarm installers. It’s always best to use a certified car alarm installer if you want the best results. The majority of automakers equip each car they make with security of some kind. Your car probably has some security features if it was manufactured within the last 15 years, but probably not enough to stop things like smash-and-grabs, towing, hit-and-runs, or wheel theft. The time estimate mentioned above was provided by certified technicians who possess all the equipment, knowledge, and resources required to finish installing a car alarm. While Compustar does not support do-it-yourself installations by untrained or uncertified installers, we recognize that there are plenty of knowledgeable people with the know-how and perseverance to solve the problem. You will need a wiring schematic, such as the Ford Bronco wiring chart above, to finish installing your car alarm system. A car alarm system can be easily added to your remote starter, or the other way around. Over time, an authorized dealer can save you both money and time.
