Car alarm is the first (and often the only) line of defense between a criminal and someone else's "iron horse". And so that motorists sleep peacefully at night and be sure of the inviolability of their car, we suggest choosing one of of the best auto-start alarms of 2017... The rating is based on the popularity of car alarms on Yandex.Market.
10. Pandora LX 3030
Average price - 9,972 rubles.
Opens the list of car alarms, an easy to configure and very functional model. It is equipped with a feedback function, LIN module for easy installation, miniUSB connector and GSM. Another advantage of this model is its very low power consumption.
Disadvantage: Not available in all stores as the LX 3030 system is discontinued.
9. Cenmax Vigilant ST-5A
Average price - 4,040 rubles.
The cheapest alarm, but with a rich set of features. Among them:
- feedback function;
- turbo timer - keeps the turbocharged engine running at idle for 1 to 3 minutes;
- vibration alert;
- Anti-Hi-Jack - a function that prevents violent theft by gradually blocking the car engine while driving;
- and, of course, engine autostart.
Of the minuses of this alarm, a very fragile case can be noted, so you should not put the keychain in your pocket with keys. Also, when the remote control and the unit are separated, they begin to look for each other, and they do this very energy-intensive.
8. StarLine D95 GSM / GPS
The average price is 25,900 rubles.
For its high price, the alarm will work in full. She has the most advanced features:
- non-scannable dialog code;
- free GPS-GLONASS monitoring;
- integrated CAN + LIN modules;

6. StarLine A63 ECO

Advice: after purchasing the alarm, do not place a label with its name on the car. Some motorists believe that in this way they show potential car thieves that the car is under protection. However, knowing the exact name of the alarm, it will be easier for criminals to pick a "key" for it.
And good luck on the road!
