The DYNATRON D3800 Car Alarm is a good 5 Star Car Alarm in my opinion with the option of many extras to be added if needed. It has forced entry protection of doors, boot and bonnet with a glass break sensor.
Audible warning is achieved via a 120dB battery Back-up siren, visually via the vehicle indicators and a dash mounted high intensity red LED. You also have the control of silent alarming via remote with some alarms (not all) on the market not having this option.
