hey guys well it looks like ill be parking my new s2k outside for some time =(. So im going to get an alarm installed with the 2 way remote and all that good stuff. anyway it has been a concern for me people just cutting thru the top. so i hear about these "proximity sensors" or whatever. how do these work?? do they work?? and are they visable at all? thx guys!

 

Sup,
I had one of those in my Hatchback. I think they call them Motion Sensors and there small little boxes. I had mine hidden good but they can be a problem. If you have it adjusted to sensitive it will go off for anything like rain or thunder. There a good idea and i dont think there alot extra if you install it with the alarm itself. Its been a while since i have gotten an alarm so stuff might of changed since than but thats a little info that i know peace.

 

proximity sensors FTW!!

But he's right. If it's set too sensitive, it will drive you nuts.

 

I think they rock

 

Have one on my car and I love it. Keeps the pests and prying eyes away from my car. Only problem I had with it was when I parked too close to a curb. Get a custom switch installed so you can turn off the proximity sensor when you want.

 

i had one on my old car and it worked great.....toooo grwat sometimes, but it was worth the peace of mind.

My friends that had them were constantly getting paged. After a while, all it did was cry wolf and they didn't even pay attention to it anymore. Worthless, in my opinion, but if you don't have a garage...well, it's better than nothing.

You could also get a hardtop.

 

Even with the soft top, it's hard to steal much without opening the doors. So a standard alarm does help. Someone might steal your sunglasses without opening the door, but they aren't going to get the seats or stearing wheel.

I bought the MUZ driver side mirror, and tried to change it without turning off the Honda Alarm system. I didn't open the door or anything, just pulled on the mirror a few times and the alarm went off.

 

redruM - There have been several cases with people's seats getting stolen even with the OEM alarm. The alarm itself can be defeated very easily. Even a state-of-the-art alarm won't stop thieves from stealing your car from under your nose.

The next S I get, all I'm having installed is a little red blinking-LED light on the dash.

 

have one in my car, i have mine set really sensitive to prevent door dings... its worked so far lol. just install it under the cup holder as its the center of the car, they work great.
