Leave the windows down, see if the ultrasonics pick up movement and set off the alarm? Is yours not a GTi then?

Just thought i would drop in on this topic to add my 2pence. I was talking to an AutoElectrician the other day about various alarms..Clifords, Toad, Remote start systems etc.
He made it very clear that the best security believe it or not are just the plain bog standard alarms and imobs that are cars come with. He said that once you start dicking around with adding aftermarket alarms to cars which already have a decent enough OEM alarm & imob it makes our current alarm system redundent and your left with the key (in our case the fob flip key and a SEPERATE fob to disable the aftermarket alarm) it only takes someone to know what there doing with an aftermarket alarm i.e Cliford to get the car started.
Im a alarm engineer by trade and if house alarms are anything to go by in the terms of bypassing etc (if the right person knows what there doing) i can understand the logic how it would be easy enough for the right car theif who knows the basics of Auto Electrics to get the car going if they found the "brain" of the alarm hiding behind the dash.
Im not saying all aftermarket alarms are pants by all means as i really fancied the whole remote start thing but after the chat with that chap i dont think im going to bother with it.
