Alarm system recommendations????

[Grumpy Grandpa]

I'm wanting to put a good (and affordable) anti-theft alarm system in Sprinter when I get it next month. Looking for something that will actually work on all access points/doors .... any recommendations???

My local stereo shop put in one that had a air siren add on...most good car alarms can be plugged in to the factory wire harness. Also look into a tracking system in case the van is stolen or towed.

Also a fuel pump power cut off switch placed in an inconspicuous location is a very cheap but effective thing to do as well. Several YouTube videos on this.

Great idea I hadn't thought of either of those!

I've not been in a car stereo shop (ever) so I didn't even think about them being a resource... but it makes sense....

Lol my local stereo shop has been doing all kinds of stuff even cruise controls.

I've heard that Viper is a good brand of car alarm. I'm debating on to get an alarm or not on the new van since besides the cab doors, there are the semi trailer type rear swing doors, and a rv style side door....but I do like the idea of remote start.. and, yes, Mr. Dan the wolf is very correct in suggesting a tracking unit, especially if you do not have a Qualcomm.. I am really considering a 3 camera dash cam setup as well. Falcon eye? seems like a trusted brand. Can't be too safe! Cover your heiny!!

Having a second tracking unit on the van was nice because I knew where it was when not in the van...

I'd recommend looking into reputable brands like Viper or Compustar. They offer solid protection and work well on doors..., hatches, and other entry points.

I had viper....the radio shop wired every door even my Van's roll up door.
