My older alarm from Best Buy has the ignition cutoff,and they installed it.
It's about 3 yrs old.(on a 94 Integra GSR)

The installer has a list for what options you want enabled,and they perform
a check-off list you sign before they begin installation,to ID any problems
your car has so they don't get blamed for them,and retest after
installation.
They had a very clean,organized shop,too.

I would be a repeat customer.


Regarding anti-carjacking,if they take your car with the keys(and remote!)
in it,**how do you activate the feature** ??

Again,any alarm is only good if you are there (and prepared)to respond;no
one else will.

So the risk is yours to take. Sounds fair.

You enter a pin number on the keypad. You will need a spare
key.

This is how it works. If the door opens and the brake light is on the
horn and lights will go on less than a minute later. This is simple logic
that I could build using a switch, two transistors, a capacitor and
some resistors. If you want the horns and lights, just add a relay
and a diode. My current home built anti-carjack setup is much
simpler and it was tested on the field.

The current anticarjacking is far too expensive and does little to
prevent carjacking. What might work is the flame thrower as seen
on this video here.

I meant to say, once the door opens with your foot on the brake, the car
will shut off the ignition 30 seconds later with flashing lights and horns. You
enter your pin on a keypad to restart the car.
