someone broke into my car couple of weeks ago and jacked my ipod! ahhhh retards my door was still locked and everything else was still in place. i had my bluetooth and everything else in the car, but they only took my ipod,, i guess he just leaned in and unplugged it and took off. wtvv
anywayss
yo know by the shifter there is a small blank black plate kinda thing. i wanna put an LED overthere or anywhere else and i want it to blink and flash and all that fancy stuff, but where would i connect it to so it will flash and blink. do i need a seperate piece to connect it to and then hook it to the power? idkk this

any help will be appreciated
thanks a million,
alan

i have an even simpler idea, when you park your car, put everything of value completely out of sight, like in the glove box, or the center console or whatever.

a security system really doesn't do jack squat. you leave your ipod sitting in your cup holder for all to see as they walk by, it doesn't make a difference if you have a security system or not, all they do is smash, grab and run. doesn't matter if they have an alarm system or not.

so keep your valuables out of sight, maybe get your windows tinted to help out somewhat, but just be smarter then the thieves.

sucks to hear about that, and drax has some good advice....

but pepboys or your local autostore or walmart sells things made for deternt. Its like a bar of 3 l.e.d.s that you can have blink, run a pattern etc to look like an alarm

Based on what he wrote I don't believe he doesn't actually wants an alarm he just wants a flashing LED that looks like an alarm. It'll cost him next to noting and may be able to scare off punk or too so why not?

Of course you should still stash valuables out of sight, but an LED can't hurt.

trueee truee very true

but this also give me a chance to work on my car, i havnt done anywork on my car, last thing i did was the cathodes

yeahh exactly its to scare them off.cuz i live in a really really clean neighbor hood, but yet again look what happened, but i think with the light, itll slim the chances of something like that happening again by a significant amount.

http://www.urban-neon-car-lights.com...-alarm-lights/

im sure if you search more you can find something even better than that, i mean the ones ive seen are less cheesy and more simplistic,

Sure thing, im not saying get anything off that site because i dont know anything about it, i just used it as a reference to give you an idea what im talking about and those prices seem steep for an l.e.d anway....

if you go to an auto store near you look where the neons etc are thats where they will be
