factory alarm on 1st gen CL?
Does anyone out there have a factory alarm on their 1st gen CLs? Are our stock alarms adequate? Do you know where I can get some info on installing a shock sensor to my stock alarm?
thanks

Yeah, I agree. I think Acura put it on the car as they knew the customer would expect to have one (even a basic one) in their cars at this price level and class. However, early into the ownership I realized it's pretty much just for the convenience of having the keyless entry and to access the trunk (duh since there's no keyhole!). I don't mind, though, cause I like my car the way it is. However, one thing I don't necessarily care for is how loud the "chirps" are when it's activated to sound. I like the little confirmation of letting me know the doors are all locked but it is a tad loud. Anyway, yeah, so if you're looking for better protection, aftermarket is probably the way to go, IMO.

It should be in the owners manaul. I had the problem of the sounds turning off on me because I did something, but I looked in the manaul and it tells you how to turn them on and off.

As to the intial question.. no its not a n adequate alarm.. all it does is protect you from your doors, hood and trunk from being oipened when armed and the car started.... thats the only way it sounds... there are som many alarms out there, but if they want your shit.. They'll TAKE IT regardless...

I suggest, if you're concerned, just put a shock sensor on it. They're like $10, as opposed to the $300-$500 you'll spend on an aftermarket alarm. And they do pretty much the same thing. Like he said, if they want your stuff, they'll take it, alarm or no alarm. Might as well alarm your car the cheapest way possible.

I agree with BlueAngel, just get the shock sensor and save your $$$$$.
BTW Adrienne, are you having an identity crisis or what???? You're worse than Prince or whatever he goes by now.

WOW! Thanks for the great info on the alarm!
I just figured I had a silent alarm. I work in the city and I like the peace of mind to just hear that chirp. It at least lets everyone know that you did lock your doors and have an alarm. I'm also tired of pressing the button as I walk away from the car and having to sneak a glance back to see if the lights flashed. In a noisy bright area it's sometimes hard to tell if the dang thing even locked the doors!
Thanks all.
Wow, it's like a free mod!
