Anybody know of and alarm system I can put on my truck that can alert me a mile away from where I park? Looking for something quick and easy if there is such a thing. Thanks
I have a Viper that claims 1 miles but that's in a lab like every other manufacturer you could add the Smart Start system that uses cellular signal to alert you via your phone (you can also unlock, lock, start etc) where ever it has signal like you're in Europe and the trucks at the airport.
I have a viper branded "directed smart start", I would get alerts through their paid service on my phone.. also has GPS tracking as well as other tricks
This isn't a solution to the OP's original question, as it won't alert you. But, for a true anti-theft device that works, look into one of these, maybe even as a supplement: Ravelco Anti Theft Device
I had one installed when I bought my Super Duty, and they wire in three or four of the seven wires into different locations on each truck. You'd have to pull apart the wiring and trace each wire to be able to disable it. The odds are that the truck would have to be towed, which really reduces the chance for the theft of your truck.
I don't even know which wires they spliced into, they don't say, but I'm religious about pulling the plug when I get out, even for a quick trip to the store or the post office.
It's a great anti-theft option.
