- While this dead horse is gently being flogged into the ground, I should add my two or three cents. I have heard everything suggested, from phony blinking lights to proximity sensors. First, a note on

- I still contend, if someone wants your car badly enough, they'll steal it. A fella came up, paid his DM5, produced a 4 kilo sledgehammer, and proceeded to give the car a very firm rap on the front bu

- I don't believe that airbags/emergency electric door locks are armed when the ignition is off, thus it is not possible to set off an airbag by hitting the front bumper with a sledge. Anybody know for

- Would be rather foolish if the airbags/emergency locks *weren't* armed. What if you're sitting in your parked car, and a drunk careens along the street and smashes into it? You'd need the airbag even

- I put in a $300 Alpine radar system. It has a blinking LED where the overdrive switch would have been if I had overdrive; it almost looks like it's _supposef_ to be there. And the radar doesn't go of

- For sure... The Airbag system is not armed when the ignition is off which is kinda upsetting if you think about it. I don't believe that airbags/emergency electric door locks are armed when the ignit
