Guys of valuation only want to see whether or not it has an alarm; doesn't matter if it's cheap or expensive.

A determined thief will get your car, no point fighting over it (assuming there is low sentimental value). I guess that's why one gets comprehensive insurance as opposed to the much cheaper third party only.

@Kuria, a cheap alarm pushes the valuation up or down?

Advice from my insurance broker: get the cheapest alarm for the sake of valuation. Get a good insurance company (and broker) for the sake of incidences.

@kyalo
Most thieves jumpstart the car by bypassing the key start and using the wires but mechanically the steering remains locked. So unless the thief has your car keys ....

Hi,
At Ifuate GPS tracking, we add extra layer of security by connecting our GPS tracking device with the alarm. If the alarm goes off, we will notify you immediately via email or through SMS or even cut out the starter or do all the above, as long as your GPS tracking device is connected to our servers.
Even if they cut out all wiring off the vehicle, in which case I doubt how they will be able to drive off a few seconds are enough for the tracker to have hit our servers and the necessary warnings raised.

@Kioko, I think I gave the alarm to a friend, no idea what he did with it.

However, subject to correction, I think that after the first year, you can install whatever alarm (or not) you want, since when doing the annual valuation, all they (valuer) note down is "alarm system installed", they (insurer) do not require an alarm installation certificate.

Nicholas,

and a car thief with a key cannot unlock the steering the same way you would ?

Always lock your steering by playing it from right to left until it locks. Do this after you have removed the key from the ignition

So what did you end up doing with the alarm? 

Meanwhile, if they only deal with "alarms they know", means they know how to disable this stuff, right?

I once imported an alarm from UK, local dudes refused to install it saying that they only install products they know. Just a bit of FYI.

Hi,
Last week my car was vandalized and the alarm went off for only a few seconds before they managed to silence it, disable the immobilizer, start the car and drive it away .. all in in under 5 mins. 
Anyway, it was recovered abandoned later by the cops but the "security" components  (alarm itself + immobilizer) and a big chunk of the dashboard and steering column components had been damaged.

I had installed Auto Watch (make) but if it takes only takes 5 mins to crack it open then its not worth it..  After they fix the dashboard and steering column, I have to buy another system and have it installed..

What is the best car alarm system available in the market (Kenya) today  or better what is the best security strategy to secure the car using technology ? Kindly share your views and comments


Best Regards
