I dont have an alarm, I just have genuine VIPER stickers on my windows.

No ones breaking into the car unless they break a window, the lock design is perfected for even locksmiths cant get it open.

Getting an alarm is 2nd on my list of mods left to do. Currently I store my 120pound rotti in the back seat.

I have the Factory alarm by Carr

I'm pretty sure the Immobilizer system hasn't been broken yet. The worst they could do is break into your car and steal what's in there.

Streethonda06 · 03-26-2007, 04:56 PM

Immobilizer FTW!!

but for my stuff inside my car i've got a Code alarm system w/ a two way remote, shock sensor, Prox sensor, and glass break sensor...

I've had my car broken in to b4 and never want that feeling again

Dessa_8837 · 03-26-2007, 04:57 PM

I do.

Juve_2006 · 03-26-2007, 05:53 PM

alright, seems like most rely only on the factory immobilizer so i will 2. thanks for the input

06si · 03-26-2007, 05:56 PM

I have an alarm with a pager. I had somebody break into my old civic so I don't want to risk it again (especially with my current list of mods)

Streethonda06 · 03-26-2007, 06:41 PM

^^ thats is what i was thinking too ^^

smatts · 03-26-2007, 08:02 PM

I have whatever the "integrated security system" was that I paid $400 for at the dealership

I have no idea what brand it is, but I know it honks if I open the trunk when it's armed.

Toxis · 03-26-2007, 08:16 PM

Wait, you paid $400 for an included item on the car? Ouch, you got ripped off.

I have my old Clifford AvantGuard5 sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. Patiently waiting for new harnesses or for the new 5.5 to be released so I can upgrade.

i have CPI.. with motion sensor..

I had LoJack installed in my car. LoJack has their own installers install the unit in one of many different secret locations within the car.

Skylinegtr06 · 03-27-2007, 05:51 PM

^+1 Lojack FTW however if my car is stolen it goes over the border and I can retrieve it

lojack here too. I wonder where they install it so I can see if it is even actually there. :face-icon

8thCivicNut · 03-27-2007, 10:02 PM

I received a letter from LoJack stating that my car was chosen at random to receive a free quality control inspection. They came to my house to test it making sure it worked properly.

I asked the tester where they installed it and he said they're always installed inside the car. I thought maybe it was somewhere in the engine compartment. He said they installed mine under the center console. So check under your center console and see if its there first.

MajestacaL · 03-27-2007, 10:13 PM

I just installed a Clifford Matrix 50.5X on my 07 SI!!! 2-Way Security System with 1 mile range love it and I really like the remote it lets you know what area of the car has been tampered with. Just need to find someone to install the remote start part for me

mattc00 · 03-28-2007, 10:55 PM

You guys are crazy if you are relying on the factory immobilizer key system as your only theft deturant. That thing has been cracked long ago, just like every other factory immobilizer. Civics are in the top 5 stolen vehicles in the usa. You need to get a Lojack or some other kind of alarm system installed on your civic to make it atleast a little more secure.
