The system is programmed to make a high-pitched noise every time someone attempts to get the car open, or even if someone is too close to the car. This has been designed to scare and deter thieves from stealing your car. But how well does these devices work? Do they work? When car alarms were first sold to the public, they were very popular and were installed in vehicles right away.

But after some time, consumers started really disliking them. One of the biggest problems with car alarms is they disturb the public. A dog or cat can go near it and set it off, not to mention the vibration from a loud vehicle going near by. Now imagine what happens when people leave their cars at home while they are out on vacation or what have you, these cars are just going off for no reason. And this is only one way these alarms aren't that helpful.

Did you know, it's estimated that false alarms happen about 95 percent of the time. That means, there's a very small chance you'll actually be using your loud sounding alarm to catch a criminal. These alarms are so loud, they are audible from behind closed doors and windows! Now imagine all the false alarms people have to deal with every day, maybe even you!

Think about this, when 95 percent of these alarms are false, it's no wonder that nobody is too concerned with their car when the alarm goes off. Did you realize that according to recent studies, only 1% of all people call the police as a result of car alarms. And again, that's because most people are assuming it's yet another false alarm. Do you really consider that effective security? Think about it, it's not really as effective as people make it seem.

If you are thinking about security for your car, maybe you should look into things besides car alarms. Car alarms vary in price, but remember that you get what you pay for. Not to mention, you should go to a reputable person to install it, because there are people out there who install your alarm with security holes so they can take advantage of them and steal your car down the line.

One last note if you have a whole bunch of sound system sticker advertisement or something of the nature, don't bother with a security system. Why, because no security system will prevent you stuff from being stolen within your car.

I've got a Python 990 alarm in my car and a DEI 522t Trunk Release Solenoid. I am trying to wire the solenoid to my alarm so I can open it with the remote. The only way that I can figure how to wire it is by using one of the channel outputs on the alarm, but those are all 200ma (-) output. The ground wire for the solenoid needs 10A.

Any ideas on how I can get this to work?
or
Any other ways that you know of to do this?

Alarm install manual: http://www.directeddealers.com/manuals/ig/python/N5301P_05-06post.pdf
Well I've been reading up on relays, but I'm unsure of how to wire it. Since my 200mA output is a (-), do I need to get a relay without a diode in it? or what?

From what I can tell, I need to connect pin 30 to my battery (+) terminal and pin 87 to my solenoid. Is this correct?

I'm really unsure about the coil pins. Do i need a positive and a ground on that?

weird car alarm...

There are some people who are still confused on how do auto insurance companies compute policy rates. Some might be even wondering why is the policy rate of his/her neighbor different from his monthly rate while they both have the same car and same company at the same time. That is pretty normal for people since not all have a good understanding about auto insurance policy rates.

To tell everyone frankly, there are various factors that will determine the monthly policy rates. One of these various factors would be the age. For some, people would say age doesn't matter at all. Maybe for some other things, it doesn't. But when it comes to auto insurance policy rates, it matters a lot. Listed below are some of the most common explanations to help everyone better understand how age and different factors affect the monthly auto insurance premium.

Young and new drivers

Recent studies have showed that people belonging to a young age group has a tendency to be more reckless drivers compared to people in their late thirty's. That study has already been proven and the statistics have showed that teenagers, including college students get involved in accidents more often compared to other people who do not belong under their age group. Because of that, teenage drivers have a higher auto insurance monthly premium rate compared to others.

However, if the insurance company has noticed that the teenage driver doesn't have any history or bad driving record, there is still a possibility that the premiums will lower.

Gender

This might sound a little biased but female drivers are more careful drivers compared to men. That is why if the vehicle owner's gender is a female, then the monthly premium is lower compared to men. Again, with men, there is still a chance that they will be getting the same amount of monthly premium, as long as the driving record and history is clean from accidents and reckless driving.

Security measures

Auto insurance companies consider the safety and security of one's vehicle. The more secured the vehicle is, the greater the chances that the monthly premium rates that one has to pay is cheaper. Air bags, locks and alarms are some of the things that an auto insurance company is looking for when trying to consider lowering the rates. The more secured the vehicles are, the lesser the chances that it will get stolen.
