Two words: VIPER ALARM.

Has a motion sensor that will trigger the alarm and page you if someone reaches (or uses a hanger) to get in.

NO, can't shift because you can't press the the button down. Is is a pretty good anti-theft device. It's ONLY good on an automatic of course. It's very hard to remove without a key. Unlike the bar across the steering wheel, one can cut the wheel and remove the bar.

Definitely the way to go. I have an automatic coupe, so I bought the remote start version of the LE2. Took friggin forever to install and was complicated, but man there is nothing better on a cold morning than having your car warm up for you before you even walk out the door.

On another note, USP .40 here. It's like my visa---I don't leave home without it.

Wow great stuff thanks guys. Thus far I have nothin but the stocker.

Its parked in a garage at night but in a parking lot during the day...both places are pretty low on crime but security seems to be on my mind lately. Home as well as cars...

P220 here.
