are u worried about someone pinching the car or damaging the car?
you cant steal a golf because of the proximity chip inside the key.
if you are worried about someone damaging the car,thats a different story.
I used to care for alarms,but no one ever pays attention to them.I now make sure I have really good insurance cover and ,if its damaged or stolen,well my insurance will cover it.
yeh thats wat i was thinking....had a bad weekend with a few boys sitting on my car while it was parked infront of a bar. if i had an alarm maybe it would have prevented a few bruises.
best thing...avoid taking my car anywhere!

asked the boys who were sitting on my bonnet to get off (all with no intention to cause any trouble) and they ignored me until i asked the 2nd time and one of them told me it was a piece of sh*t, while the others started to push me around. then one thing lead to another and a brawl broke out all because of my car.
they will probably think twice now before they sit on some1's car again.

Nice.
I had a very similar thing happen with my old car (with ~$5000 worth of stereo in it).. luckily for me and unluckily for them I had about 8 mates walking around the corner 30seconds behind me.
But anyway, Alarm probably wouldnt do much in that situation (generally they aren't sensitive enough out of the box, and if you set it to be sensitive enough every excel with a cannon that drives past it will set it off)... Well unless the alarm has a panic mode so you can set it off when you see whats going on.
With the audi, in the past if people are too close/looking around i'll flick the lock door on the remote and all the lights will flash.. Gets the message across.
Atleast you got out of the situation okay, hopefully they didnt eh?
I dont have a car alarm in mine, all you need is a immobiliser (which our cars have stock) and a good insurance plan (Anyone else covered for 26k in a mk4?)

I've heard of Viper's as an upgrade kit once before, any more info? Some insurance companies will give you a discount if you fit an approved alarm. But I don't want two remotes like my last car!
