I have limited confidence in electronic devices, because you never know, at what point will they break. In my car, the alarm system suddenly and unexpectedly refused to obey. Under this colloquial term, however, there is a more complicated device, which not only howls, but also protects. My alarm did not respond to the pilot's commands and it was still terribly shut off. I turned off the siren with the key, because I can't think in noise. I remembered, that I have a hidden switch, which can neutralize the alarm. I did what I needed to do and… Thread. This is where my viewer is over. From a cell phone, which my wife gave me for good behavior, I called the repair shop, who installed this unfortunate device for me. The guy on the phone said, that I cut the yellow-brown wire at the "switchboard". He did not see, where is this "switchboard", because each editor puts it in a different place, to make life difficult for thieves. I have neither seen nor felt like
thief, touching the pedals and steering column with your hand. I called again, to find out, that when I tow the car to the garage, they'll fix it for me. I understand, that there is democracy, but treat the customer that way?
Desperate, I called the general alarm importer. The kind gentleman gave me a few more tips for disconnecting the alarm, and when it was not effective, sent a fitter. The fitter showed up after a dozen or so minutes of waiting and began to disassemble the car in search of the "switchboard". Found, disconnected what you need. Never in my life has the sound of a running engine been so nice to me. He said, for me to come to the site. He didn't take the money, although the free warranty has long since ended. Just America!
What's the moral of the story? When choosing an alarm, the brand or even the functions are less important, which he does. Many sellers praising their goods and so use a language completely incomprehensible to the average bread eater, with a lot of professional phrases and words that sound from English. This is meant to suggest, that the offered device is the best in the world, and even further. Before making a decision, it is worth making sure, if the company has a service throughout the country and is it willing to help in emergencies. It is also worth watching the fitter during the assembly, to know, How to disconnect the entire device in the event of a failure and where is the "control panel" and "yellow-brown wire". Just in case.
And one more detail. Before going on a public road, the buyer of a new vehicle must insure it, and the condition of insurance is to have an anti-theft alarm system, being on the list of the given insurance company. As a rule, a car brand dealer cooperates with a company that installs alarms, of course, a specific alarm manufacturer. The buyer of the car is, in a way, forced to install a device from this particular company. Very clever. If an undisciplined buyer wishes to install a third-party alarm, must bring the assembler of the selected device to a dissatisfied dealer on his own. That's how it has been done now.
