Vehicle is not cheaper, so it is very often trying to sob. There are a lot of ways to protect the car from the hijacking, but the most common is the use of car alarm. Full-time alarms in new cars have the simplest set of functions, which means they are not able to provide a sufficient level of vehicle safety. In view of this, the installation of signaling systems with greater functionality is becoming more urgent. Specialized car alarms are actually reduced to zero risk of car hijacking, as well as penetration inside. The personnel installation of the alarm is simple and quite on the shoulder actually every car enthusiast. The main thing is to have a desire and small knowledge in this area. About this further in the article.

How to choose a modern car alarm, to pay attention to

Automotive alarm system - a device designed to protect the vehicle from the hijacking, as well as theft of things in the cabin or car trunk. Car alarm is notifying a car owner and others about unauthorized access using sound and light signals. Signaling systems in most cases consist of the following components: the main unit, the shock sensor, door opening sensors, hood and trunk, antenna, wiring set, LED indicator, service button, keychain.

Before installing car alarm on the car, it must be properly pick up. The selection of car alarms is a difficult procedure requiring a potential excerpt and free time. To date, the modern automotive market is represented by many different signaling systems that differ from each other by their functionality.

Automotive alarms can be equipped with the following functions:

• Blocking the power unit.
• Trigger on the opening of the trunk, the hood and doors.
• Autostart using keychain.
• Action when hitting.
• Ability to program functions.
• Double-sided communication - the vehicle status is displayed on the key chain.

Variations of car alarms:

• Monoblock - the main elements are in one place.
• Speakers - individual elements are located in different places of the cabin.

Monoblock devices are more compact and simple in the installation, but the separated - much more reliable, since to neutralize all components of car alarm, the hijacker will have to work well.

The most reliable car alarms

The modern market is literally crowded with a variety of brands, including Monguz, Sher-Khan, Starline, Panther, Tomahawk, Alligator, sheriff and other mass. The above-mentioned names of the companies declared not in vain, because these brands have long proved their practicality and reliability. Of course, you can see dozens of other systems. However, if you analyze consumer reviews on the Internet, it can be understood that it is precisely the alarm data of the firms in most cases work reliably without the need for repair.

The scheme of anti-theft alarm, why specialists, when buying, advise paying attention to the scheme, as on the main document

Since there are many brands on the market, there are many different schemes for installing anti-theft systems. Therefore, before installing car alarm, it should be borne in mind that connectors with the same color in various car alarms can be intended for different functions. In general, the installation of the anti-theft system - the event is very responsible, because the safety of your car depends on it. To avoid possible repairs in the future, only proven brands should be preferred.

In addition, do not buy a device from untested sellers, as it can be fraught not only by the need for repair, but also by other problems. Therefore, in any case, self-installing alarm system, as well as its choice, should be made according to the scheme. Moreover, experts advise to regard the scheme as the main document when choosing car alarm, that is, before purchasing it only to refer to it.

Why professionals are not recommended to acquire homemade alarm

If you decide to install homemade alarm, you need to be the most careful. First of all, find out all the installation of the system, especially wherever or other conclusion is. In addition, it must be remembered that incorrect actions during the installation process may entail irreversible consequences, in particular a short circuit of wiring.

Short circuit wiring, which can cause short circuit wiring in the car

It is worth noting that the short circuit of the wiring can entail a vehicle ignition. That is why it is undesirable to install homemade devices, on the contrary, it is better to give preference to carializations from well-known proven brands.

What features of anti-theft alarm must be considered when choosing a model

When choosing auto alarm, the car owner should take into account such characteristics:

• Convenience and design of key fob.
• Reliability.
• Protection level.
• The cost of the signaling itself and its installation.
• The presence of double-sided communication.
• Availability of autorun function.
• Type of anti-theft system (separated, monoblock).
• Radius system.
• Antiscaster.
• Autoblock option.

Important moments that need to be considered when connecting alarm

There are a number of important points that should be considered when connecting car alarms:

1. Installation of wires is always performed in a specially designated place - between the car body and the door end. Since the doors are closed all the time and open, there is a high probability of begging. In order to avoid it, you need to use special rubberized passing pipes. There will be no superfluous sleeves that have the required bend radius. So you can avoid probable problems during the operation of the alarm in the future.
   
2. An important point is the installation of solenoids. It is produced in the doorway, however, it must be borne in mind that solenoids should be located away from the thrust button, which is designed to open the door.
3. Well, now about laying the cable. All wires must be put in such a place in which the moisture is not going. If you do not know exactly where in your body dry place, choose it in such a way that it is at least potentially dry. Wiring is attached using plastic wires.

Fixtures, Tools, Consumables

1. Cross screwdriver - to dismantle details.
2. Wrench keys are dismantling details.
3. Pliers or ordinary knife - for stripping wires.
   
4. Multimeter - to measure the voltage.
   
5. Double-sided adhesive tape.
   
6. High quality tape.
   
7. Alarm itself.
8. Several pieces of foam rubber - so that car alarm does not hurt when driving, it must be wrapped with foam rubber.
   

Safety technique

Do not forget before installing car alarm, disconnect a minus terminal from the battery.

Connect alarm with your own hands (phased)

The process of self-installation of auto alarm consists of the following steps:

1. First, choose a place to install the central unit. The most simple and convenient to install the unit for the dashboard.
   
2. Then dismantle the steering and dashboard, as well as remove the lower lining on the steering column. These manipulations allow you to access the ignition lock. However, it must be remembered that all the dashboard connectors are forbidden to omit on the metal part of the body, since open contacts are capable of climbing. It is better to quickly wind these connectors with a tape.
   
3. Before mounting car alarm, it is recommended to additionally wind its wires with a tape. This event will provide double insulation, as well as create a simulation of standard wiring.
   
4. We connect the outputs of the alarm on the dimensions or turn signals, on the open door indicator lamp and to control the power unit. If in your auto the optonic panel, you can connect only turn signals, and all other signals will come to the panel in electronic form. To connect, you need to find the required wires using the multimeter for this. But to do this, you need to have basic knowledge of electronics and elementary knowledge of the vehicle device.
   
5. Next, connect the alarm to the central lock, for which it is necessary to find a relay responsible for switching on the lock.
6. Check the quality of the connection, wind the signaling of the foam rubber, using adhesive tape reliably fix it and screw the panels to the place, after dismissing the tape from their contacts.
   
7. Configure the installed car alarm according to your needs and check its performance.

Tips Prof.

When you connect wires, you can use special clamps from the alarm set. However, if the hijacker reveals the alarm, then it will immediately become clear where to cut the wire to the device poke. Therefore, for greater protection, it is recommended to use a lighter and a knife for connecting wires.
