What car do you have?
Does it have central locking? Is it IR or radio?
Is there an immobiliser fitted?
Is it a CAT 2 immobiliser?

If yes to the above, then get a Cat2:1 alarm or similar. I have a Toad alarm (now discontinued) and it works great. The alarm has optional glass-break sensors and dual sensitivity knock sensors. It uses the original remote control.

Total cost was about £200 if i remember.

Ben
