Security Alarm Question

[Lyons00]

Hi,

  Does this security alarm work, if someone jacks up the truck, to steal your tires and rims?  If not, what are you guys to secure your tires and rims, besides wheel locks?

    Thanks, Jerry

This is a basic alarm. You arm it when everything is closed and you lock it with the RKE or press the Passive key button. To set it off, you open the doors, hood, or the tailgate without unlocking with the Fob. Alarm goes off. No motion detection. Now if you are in California and one of those earthquakes commences, all bets are off.

Hello Jerry, Richard is absolutely correct, there are no OEM sensors that show that the vehicles is being lifted to steal something or put on a flat bed.  Worse it goes not have glass break or motion detection inside.  Around here they break a window, climb in and take what they want.  OEM radio / NAV systems are still a hot commodity.  The McGard locks are just to keep the novice thieves away, any of the big theft rings have master keys and take them off as fast as any other lug nut.  Sad that we have to worry about stuff like this but if you have a good alarm company or a high end mobile audio company in your area, they can add to the existing system.  I have several vehicles that motion and glass break were installed to the OEM security system.  It has been around $250.00 here in Michigan.  I have not done it to my new truck yet, but I will.

Great thanks!  I found this.....507M Digital Tilt Sensor from Directed...I will call my stereo shop this week.

 

  Thanks again.

GM could use the existing sensors for some type of alarm [Motion]. The radial, lateral, steering wheel, and wheel speed sensors could be used somehow to incorporate motion sensing.
