    IS it worth it?

    Do you think it's worth putting an alarm on my DX accord 4dr i mean it's a decent car but there is no way i could enjoy the features of an alarm because i do not have auto locks.
    i would apprechiate any help
    Btw i am a newbie got my accord a few months ago and have been working on it. This site is amazing and im gald to meet you all.

    actually, if your willing to spend a little more on the alarm, about $50 per door. The shop can wire up actuators to the door lock mechanism and when you push the lock or unlock button, the doors do it. Pretty cool huh. Also make sure that the alarm is capable first, so cheapos dont have any pin upgrades

    Yah I agree with jigga, get the alarm to protect the car itself and everything inside. I had an alarm on my Limited and it wasnt even wired for the power locks I got it cause it made me feel safer about leaving my car out of my sight. I think I was just a little over-protective of my 3g but I love my car lol!
