    That'll work right up until it goes off every hour due to wind and you turn the sensitivity down all the way and...

    In my first s2000, I wasn't able to always garage it, and it was a VERY poplar thing for people to slice the top, unlock the doors, and steal the seats to put in civics. Insurance would typically total the car because the seats could only be purchased through Honda as parts and assembled for a total of $4k per seat.

    I disassembled the proximity sensor, put it under the center console pad and it would go off if you were within 6" or a foot above the top. Took some fine tuning but it worked great.

    An alarm is only as good as the install.

    That looks like a cool idea... never seen them before.
    I would almost expect them to be cheaper as they look a lot simpler. Seem to be more expensive though.
    I googled around a bit out of curiosity and I even saw people installing conventional openers on the side to drive the jackshaft.

    I will do a side mount when I need an opener again. Frees up space in the ceiling at the center of the garage. I like it!

    I'm moving back up to the roaring fork valley after my lease is up this next Aug. 2 years in denver has been...interesting.

    my little furball is the first phase alarm, GF is phase 1.5, and phase 2 is me waking up and readying my nearby, hidden PDW & plate carrier.
    sometimes it means i'm flying out of bed cuz I slept in and the mailman is dropping by but better safe than sorry :spy:

    Yes he performed very well. But I'm still not going to get to excited yet. Still sitting back and watching. He's still very new. I am enjoying his performance. Plus the whole team is doing their part.
