Car alarm that sends SMS
Anyone tried this car alarm on their TL? It's an alarm that sends SMS to your SE phone using GSM.

hmm sounds interesting. but who want to take on another mobile phone bill just so that it may send an SMS. we are talking atleast $20-$30 a month. I like the pager like alarms much cheaper

Ah...One MAJOR problem. Doesn't the phone HAVE to be in the car at the time? I mean, the CAR itself doesn't have a phone in it so it has no way of sending any type of message, much less and SMS text. It's not like any of us lactually "Leave the phone in the car" when we get out, is it?

Ah...You didn't read the website
"The second option includes an external GSM module. This package is slightly more expensive, but, it saves you the trouble to purchase an additional Sony Ericsson mobile phone. The price of this is USD249."
I don't think it's worth it just to tell the thief that you sent yourself an SMS before he steals something or does damage.
