Well I had to go and purchase a Viper Alarm System today becuase some f***in c**k sucker tried to break into my car but must have gotten spooked since all the further he got was taking my key cover off and popped the piece out that the key slides thru. It was nice seeing those two pieces laying under my car when i walked out to it this morning. So alarm gets installed Tuesday morning, so im not gonna be able to sleep the next two nites.... exciting! I know its not going to keep them out of my car but its going to make me feel better knowing ill have something to wake me up if theres an attempt. Lets hope

 

key cover in the door?

 

yea where the key slot is you can pop the cover off and get into the key slot

 

Sucks to hear =(

 

Sorry to hear that

 

I can't stand theives, a good thing they didn't actually take anything. It could of been worse.

 

You should think about getting a backup battery for the viper. Car alarm are very easy to break into.

 

yea i actually saw them today when i was looking for the alarm, do you know if they are easy to install so i can get it and do it myself so i dont have to take it batch to the installer. the part will take 3 days to get here cant wait that long.

 

Man, sorry to hear about this. Hopefully, the alarm will be a deterrent.

Are you sure someone really tried to break into your car?

Those pieces have a habit of falling off on their own. There is a TSB for it.

 

yea because like i said they popped out the piece inside the lock the key slides through, unless that piece easily pops out to but i dont see that happening it latches itself when i put it back on....whats a TSB?

 

TSB is a technical service bulletin. It's more or less a writeup for techs on a known common issue with a specific car. For example there is a TSB on the rear deck lid rattle because pretty much every TL has or had that issue.

Sorry to hear someone tried to get into your car. Just another reason I will never not own a garage.

Which viper are you getting?

 

^ 5901 prolly...

Damn bro dat sucks, wtf is up with PA? Sum1 is in needs of parts from wat i see.... Like yesterday i was drivin on i95 and saw a 01 CR-V with the Type-S waffles

 

my first mod: Viper 5901 + glass break sensor 1 week after I got the car!
Better be safe than sorry!!!

 

sum1 is in needs of moar lettrz

 

 

i was planning on doing the 350HV because i dont need the remote start so it would be a waste to spend the money for it, and yea it does seem like alot of thefts are going on around here

 

those pieces DO pop off on their own...well, if you grab the handle hard over time it can pop off when you slam the door closed...check it out and look for scratch marks where a screwdriver was used...if not
you can sleep well till Th.

 

dang close call I'm afraid of what will happen once I get some rims on I heard even with wheel locks they can get the rims off if they wanted to

 

well then maybe i am being a little nervous because there is not scratch marks around it

 

I don't think that two covers pop the same night! I replaced three of those, but even thought the cap was loose never pop to the ground. Better be safe!! Good luck.

 

Hearing so many theft stories, i wonder if increasing the severity of the punishment of those caught in action would decrease the number of occurrences. And I don't mean jail time. More like stealing someone's property is signing off on loosing some of your body parts if caught. (I agree, not a great idea if you steal or run a private prison business 'cough..')

I asked myself that very question when I walked into my apt and found out it was burglarized - pure rape if you ask me.

To OP: sorry!

 

i had the same thought and i really dont slam my doors hard either....

 

i am still trying to get someone to answer me on which bypass to use for the alarm, best buy wants to use DLPK but i read it didnt work right on an infiniti and it says its made for Nissan and GMC doesnt say anything about Acura.....so im not sure if i want to take the chance and have them install it or purchase my own and have them use it
