Why change the alarm in the car

Every car owner wants to protect his iron horse from burglary and theft, so the installation of car alarms becomes almost paramount after purchasing a car. Today, the alarm system is installed in almost any car, from low-cost models to premium cars.

Alarms are of different types-one-way, two-way, with a GSM-module. The choice of type of alarm depends mainly on the preferences and budget of the owner. Although almost everyone has an alarm now, sooner or later it still has to be changed for the reasons described below. Autoalarm buy in Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov with delivery in Ukraine can be on 130.com.ua.

Buying a used car with an installed security system

After buying a used car that already has an alarm installed, it is recommended that at least reflash the charms for reinsurance so that the previous owner would not be able to turn off the alarm with his key fob. The reasons for this may be different. For example, the former owner said that the keychain was lost, but in reality he kept it in order to further try to steal the car. He can also purchase a key chain and pre-flash it for a set alarm for the same purpose. It's like buying an apartment. It is not known how many key duplicates can be from the front door. Therefore, the first thing to do a new car owner-in every way to prevent the occurrence of such a situation.

The best option would be to replace the alarm with a new one. Firstly, old alarms have poor protection against hacking (this item will be considered in more detail). Secondly, the previous owner, who set this alarm, knows all the nuances of its installation, namely-the location of the emergency button. Knowing this information, hijacking a car becomes easy.

Outdated Alarm

Development does not stand still, and every year there are alarms with protection more and more difficult. The coding algorithm is constantly being improved, and hence the ability to hack the car is gradually reduced to zero. Today, the most secure is the dialogue code and a mixture of dialogue code with a dynamic one. In its pure form, a dynamic code is easy to crack using a code grabber, so if your security system uses a dynamic coding algorithm and you value your iron horse, it is better to choose an alarm system more up to date. Also, the old alarm system is very problematic in service. If this alarm system breaks, it will be easier to throw it out than to find suitable components.

Breaking keyfobs

Failure of the key fobs is perhaps one of the most frequent problems of car owners, in whose cars an alarm is installed. It so happened that a dog that can bite, sooner or later bite. Similarly, with the key fob (well, almost). If he can fall and break, he will ever fall and break, and when this happens, you have to look for where to buy a new key chain. If the alarm is modern, this is not a problem. But if the car alarm is about five years, five, and sometimes enough for a year, then finding the right key fob is very difficult. Often after the alarm has been discontinued, components and accessories for them also cease to be produced. Of course, as an option, you can climb on various automotive forums and flea markets in search of the necessary key fob, and there is even a chance to find one, but it will be 100% used and it’s not clear how long it will work. Therefore, if such a situation arises, it is better to buy a new alarm and for a few more years not to worry about protecting your car.

There are no necessary and useful functions

Sooner or later, you want to try some chips that can greatly simplify life, making the control of the alarm more comfortable. For example, modern alarms may have the function of a remote engine start. This is no longer just a quack, but a multifunctional combine. If you want to get new features, you will have to change the security system to a new, more functional one. It’s good that there is a very large selection of car alarms on the market.

If the most usual one-way signaling is installed in the car, we strongly recommend changing it to at least two-way, and even better for GSM signaling. Dvukhstoronki have feedback, information about the state of the car comes on a double-sided key chain with a display. Also, in such an alarm much longer range, which can reach several kilometers. GSM alarm system also has feedback and control of such an alarm system is possible, both with the help of a one-way key fob and from a mobile phone. All the necessary information about the car will be sent to a mobile phone, and the range of the device’s work on the GSM module will be unlimited, even if you start the engine from Africa.

Today, the most useful features of modern alarms are:

control from a smartphone;
autostart engine (remote engine start);
hands-free function;
GPS monitoring.

We recommend to pay attention to the popular models of modern alarms

One such model is the Cyclon T-350D. The device has LCD indication, interactive coding, engine blocking function, turbo timer, remote trunk opening function and much more. Built-in shock and motion sensors provide excellent protection for the car, and the interactive code will reduce the hacking attempt to nothing.

If you want to try something more progressive, the Ukrainian car alarm Magnum Elite M 830 05, which has a built-in GSM module and is capable of notifying the owner of alarm events not only with the help of a siren that comes, but also voice and SMS messages. The system can be controlled via a GPRS channel by a smartphone on the Android or iOS operating system. It is also possible to connect a GPS module to determine the location of the vehicle and the TEC TEC XL external protocol CAN module.

If, in addition to GSM control, you also want to get autorun, the ideal model for this would be Magnum Elite M 880 05. The autorun function can be set automatically when the temperature drops and rises (the temperature sensor is included) and when the standard battery is discharged. The alarm, in addition to additional functions, has all the features of the model M 830 05. The set of this security system is extended with two button charms.

Do you want the device even cooler? We recommend to pay attention to the Pandora DXL 3910 PRO. This car alarm has a direct connection to two digital buses. Integrated 2xCAN, LIN, keyless autostart of the engine with CLONE technology, GSM modem, hands-free function, IS-760 key-ring, built-in motion sensor, built-in temperature sensor in the passenger compartment are not all features of this device.
