Factory Alarm

[Dearmosd]

Well this weekend I learned the factory alarm doesnt trigger when the windows get busted out. After all this technology you would think there would be a sound sensor to trigger when the window brakes and the alarm is armed.

Anyone know a good/easy system to look into. I'm thinking a 2 way alarm would be nice so I get notification when the alarm is going armed/disarmed/going off.

I've always liked the DEI brands especially Clifford and Viper but I never liked having to carry an extra remote fob.

why would you need a extra fob? unless you have the push to start?

You answered your question.

You answered your question.

maybe call directed and see if they have any options for that, I use the app on my phone a lot to arm/disarm

yeah, dual key fobs is a huge drawback

Maybe you can resurrect a 1990s fashion trend, the fanny pack! Holds a pistol, wallet and a couple of remotes with keys.

Already resurrected around here. I can't help but picture my father from my childhood vacations every time I see one, which is becoming more and more often. Lol

Only thing I can add is if the directed alarm is armed the truck won't start, so if you left the keyless fob hidden in the vehicle it wouldn't matter
and/or you could use one of those rf blocking sleeve's for added security.

I have a 2018 Yukon Denali with the factory alarm upgrade and it triggered when the driver's side quarter glass was punched out. Resulted in a call n text from OnStar, too.
