Established GSM Magnum car alarms
Today Many cars from the factory are equipped with central locking with remote control. Moreover, some car manufacturers install, in addition to the already familiar to all immobilizer, signaling security systems, the so-called-"regular car alarms". The set of functions for such standard alarms is basic-remote opening of the door locks (sometimes the trunk), a single-level shock sensor and ultrasonic sensors for cabin volume (movement sensors in the cabin). As a rule, the siren of this car alarm is a regular horn, less often-a separate siren installed in a hidden place. Some cars are equipped without a key “hands-free” system, whose functions are simple-you just need to step up to the car and the car alarm, recognizing its owner, opens the door locks and unlocks the ignition and immobilizer. Starting the engine of a car equipped with such car alarms is done by pressing the “Start” button (Engine Start).
The signal coding of a regular key fob/card is in most cases reliable, since The automaker values its name and breaking into such a system is a huge blow to the brand as a whole. Yes, and with the release of a new brand of car, the coding, like the car model itself, goes through the next “evolution” and is modified; therefore, it is simply not profitable for hackers and hijackers to make a serial code grabber for a specific car model, since development of the code grabber scheme is not a small amount of money.
But in view of the fact that full-time car security systems do not have all the necessary functions and basic set of security sensors in everyday life, it is often necessary to install car alarms and sometimes not without little interference with the wiring of the car itself. In this case, the buyer has a choice- buy a car alarm with a separate key fob or buy a "regular" car alarm. The name “full-time” means that you still have your own car’s key fob and it will open/close the car’s doors. A separate low-cost car alarm with its key fob is not always an unambiguous protection of the car. The number of serial-produced car alarms of such acclaimed brands as Sheriff, Pantera, Alligator, etc. It is very large and not alone are known cases of hacking of such systems. It is not surprising that certain models of alarm systems produced (especially with the same coding system) may be tens or even hundreds of times higher than the same car model, even the most popular one on the car market. Of course-the interest in hacking mass serial car alarm systems with the same platform many times exceeds the interest of hacking the radio code of any popular car model, since by default, the hijacker is confident that this car will have a regular “mass” car alarm system installed with its key fobs. In this case, we can say that the car is “provided on a silver platter,” it only remains to buy a code grabber in the gray market and commit a crime. A separate topic for conversation with “exclusive” brands, such as Pandora, Magic System, etc., but the prices for car alarms of such brands are far from affordable for everyone.
Otherwise, the situation with the standard car alarm keychain-in this case, the hijacker or the robber will not understand at all what kind of car alarm is installed in the car and whether it is installed at all. In addition, you will not have an additional “weight” in the form of an LCD key fob on your key that will “break” the ignition lock, and at the most inopportune moment the LCD key ring can be accidentally dropped and broken, crushed, the batteries are constantly discharged-a separate reason for extra worries ...
And with a regular keyring is not so simple as we would like. Most of the standard alarms on the market are either quite primitive or too “turned up” and cost a lot of money.
Here, the company MCC, which offers a large selection of full-time car alarms under the Magnum brand, comes to our aid. Why exactly regular car alarm Magnum? Well, at least because they are without keyfobs and bilateral at the same time! You ask how? Everything is simple-in the Magnum car alarms a GSM module is built in and “communication with alarms” occurs over the cellular network through your mobile phone, which is always with you! We will not go into the main advantages of GSM car alarms, this is a separate article, but it can be noted with confidence that Magnum car alarms are presented in a sufficiently large assortment, and the buyer can choose a model according to his requirements and most importantly-his wallet size. Technically, Magnum car alarms are designed so that they can be installed not only to the standard control unit, but also to complement the existing conventional one-way or two-way car alarm-GSM alarm system and improve the quality of your car security several times.
Let's try to review the car alarm Magnum and note the main differences between each model.
Car Alarm Magnum MH-810-price leader in the market of GSM signaling for a regular key. Nothing superfluous is everything that is needed for GSM car alarms. Standard equipment-box, alarm unit, wiring, antenna, siren. This system will be an ideal addition to the already installed car alarm.
The main difference between the Magnum MH-830 car alarm and the previous model is that it already has a built-in backup power source, an output for connecting a GPS module, a three-zone shock sensor (the MH-810 has two zones), the unit has a built-in sensor tilt and move the car. For the harsh winter climate, automatic heating of the SIM slot and the GSM module is provided. The siren and light outputs are protected by self-resetting fuses. In general-the golden mean among the standard car alarm systems.
A completely different level of comfort is given to us by the top models of standard car alarms-Magnum Elite MH-840 and Magnum Elite MH-840 CAN with an integrated module for automatic and remote engine start. Car alarm with the prefix “CAN” is designed for cars equipped with a digital CAN bus. A nice addition is the presence of a microphone in the kit to listen to the car. Looking for a full-time alarm?

A separate word needs to be said about the quality of Magnum car alarm systems-with the release of the 8th series, the number of complaints has been reduced to almost zero, which is good news for the end user. The technical level and number of functions has increased significantly, the manufacturer does not stop at the achieved result-constantly improving and modernizing the existing model range. Therefore, without a doubt, car alarms Magnum occupy a leading position in the GSM market for car alarms!
