    Hi folks,

    I was wondering -
    - what car alarm do you guys use ?
    - how reliable has it been ?
    - approx cost to get installed ?

    I have a Sikura alarm/immobiliser on my 1997 Honda. I had it fitted when I bought the car in October '97, for IRL£200.

    While the alarm has been reliable, the keyfobs have been repaired twice in the last two years !
    (I believe this is a known Sikura 'weakness')

    serpi star are good.
    also car sounds and security are main agents for a excellent car alarm autowatch cost is 160 euro and u fit it urself. i fitted a serpistar and one of these both have been fine for 5 years. thel fit it for 100
    prob best having pro do it 100 is well worth it i think.

    My current car has a factory alarm / immob.
    My last two cars had a sikura alarm and whilst I found the alarm to be alright the key fobs (different type of fob for the cars) were absolutely crap. You had to be right beside the car for it to pick up and many times you could be pressing (hard) for a couple of times!
    I still have the 1st one out in my shed if anyone wants it (with fobs and manual!)
