Car Alarms, whats good?

[James_TX]

I'm looking for a car alarm for my '77 930.

Can anyone suggest a good system?

I just got a cobra (7518?) fitted. It has 4 numbers on the key fob and you can set your own code. So even if someone pinches your keys - they still can't get away without knowing the code.

Smarjoram,

Does installing this alarm convert manual locks into automatic locks?

What is the price range (alarm + installation)?

[smarjoram]

you can have central locking motors installed if you want them - I was quoted about 50GBP.

The alarm cost 250GBP, inc. installation - I already had an immobiliser fitted.

What with the original porsche alarm as well - I now have 2 alarms and an immobilser and a steering lock. Still it means the insurance is cheap.
