Broken Into!!!
Unreal!!!! My car got broken into last Friday night and the C@ck sucker took off with my golf clubs, laptop and my house keys.
The funny thing is that there isn`t any sign of a forced entry into the car...no scratches and no broken windows.
Does anyone have an idea how that @$$hole got into my car?? My doors were locked tite also 100%.
Anyways I`m gonna go and install a Compustar alarm this Monday with the 2-way pager remote, and hopefully it won`t happen again.

The remote technology Acura uses is old in that the frequency code doesn't change. If you buy any after-market alarm, it automatically has the random code generator.
If he was working alone, golf clubs and laptop would be quite a lot of stuff already.

FWIW, I leave a sheet of paper over my VIN tag on the dash. It doesn't take much for someone to walk up to a car and jot down the VIN and have a friend at the dealership cut them a key. Even with the immobilizer it can be bypass by either the hand brake or the brake pedal (i cant recall on the tl's) once you know the code....
Am I paranoid ....well after having 3 cars stolen yeah....

I had to get into my TL once with a coat hanger!! It was soooo easy to just hit the unlock on the door panel. Yes compustar alarms are badass especially the new spread spectrum alarm. You can hookup other sensors like sensors for headlights, infrared, proximity alarms.
When I get rims for my TL I will be getting the alarm

you know when your alarm goes off and your headlights flash? before they do anything, they unscrew bumper lense or any type of reflector ...just be unscrewing it with a screwdriver. once they get that out, they splice the wires to the bulbs. they then set off your alarm by kicking it or whatever. then they touch the 2 wires together and viola....goodies!
oh and for rims? buy your expensive lug locks, they'll still take it if they want it. how? well....

Well I think that an aftermarket will at least do more than that stock `security` system that we have on it. As our car is with the security system they can break all the windows, strip the car down, steal my ICE, my mags........but the car itself will still be there.
At least with an alarm it`ll take away those few seconds that might make a difference when it`s sounding and hopefully draw attention.
As for my locks at home I`ve already changed those...that was the scary part.
With the new Compustar alarm, it has a 2 way pager that`ll let me know if the alarm goes off, or if a door or the trunk is open.
I think that when it gets installed I might go a leave my doors unlocked but with the alarm on and if some SOB goes in, I`ll be waiting around the corner with my Louisville slugger and KNOCK his head over centerfield
....I`m a little saddistic I know...hehehehehe

It's not uncommon to accidently hit the trunk or unlock button when your keys are in your pocket. It's happened to me once where I hit the trunk button by accident at night and the following morning my briefcase and documents were gone.

Wouldn't do much to delay the unlocking button. After unlocking, the doors relock and alarm rearms if you don't open a door within 30 seconds. Try it; push your unlock button but don't open a door - just wait for them to relock.
