hm, i guess so, but along with window tinting laws=retarded... people shouldnt care that much when there's much worse things in life to worry about for example, murder, theft, drugs... i just hate how overly concerned cops are about laws for cars, i mean, is this really protecting me from society? I could think of way better laws to protect people.

Is there really a law stating you can legally touch someones car? if so explain..

the window tint laws are aimed towards the low life pieces of **** who murder the cop who stops them.If you haev real dark windows you can do all kinds of stuff that can't be seen.The real purpose of neon laws was to catch drug dealers, they tend to be show offs, and add alot of stuff to cars to get noticed, they make a law saying you can get stopped for them, and they catch a ton of dealers.Laws are not made to make your life harder, they are usually made becasue they found a way to catch teh people who really should be put to death anyway(they will be back doing it again when they get out of jail)

If that is compatible, I will pick one of those up.

I know for sure it will work with an OE alarms but I'm not sure about aftermarket.

depends on your alarm, most of the time it can be wired in with the shock sensor, but some are too sensitive

That's what I always thought about tint laws as well. But when I got pulled over by a state trooper in my last Camaro I mentioned that and he said that wasn't the reason but it was because the tint messes up your vision like when you look into water. He said it bends the light so when you look at the car next to you it's not actually where it appears to be. I still think it's for cop saftey but that's what he told me.

archemedes

it's a great excuse (if true then why do they allow sunglasses wouldn't they do the same thing?)

RFF

Talked to some of the installers today at the RF, JL, and Alpine shop. Turns out the only way to do it on my alarm would be to splice it in with the shock sensor.

archemedes

that's the normal way, unless you buy an alarm with that option

RFF

Thought so, and they want to charge me a $100+ to splice in some wire, screw that. They also showed me the top of the line clifford alarm, I must admit even I drooled over that thing.

archemedes

most shops only charge $100 to install an alarm from the get go

RFF

This shop sells JL, what do you expect.
