Having bought a car, many new owners think about its safety, because theft threatens anyone, even the most inexpensive car. Therefore, immediately after the purchase, in order to save your nerves and movable property, it is worth installing a reliable car alarm on the car.

Modern alarm systems are capable of adding such options that are not provided for by the design of the car, such as auto start of the engine, the ability to open (lock) doors at a distance, auto-close windows when the alarm is turned on, auto-lock doors when starting to move, and many others.
Some alarms monitor engine temperature and battery voltage.
Before installing, it is worth deciding which optimal set of functions performed by the alarm system is needed by a particular car owner.
