What is the best possible that I can keep my car safe.
I got preinstalled central locking system from Hyundai for Santro, I guess its from Autocop it has 3 buttons on it.

Secure the HU!!
Most installers install the head unit in the standard sleeve that comes with the HU. All thieves have the so called 'keys' required to unlock the HU and in a lot of cars its very easy to forcibly push out the HU by getting one hand behind the dash. If your car has a removable center facia (Getz, Optra etc), you need to ensure your HU is installed from behind the facia and held in place by screws (see the Getz thread). You can also attach a pull contact sensor to your HU and integrate it with your security system. So if someone yanks out your HU, he will set of the alarm. This is especially useful when you hand out your keys to strangers in Valet type situations. Here is what a pull contact sensor looks like:

Gunbir ji, Do you by any chance know how its installed in swift and how the installation was done at driven ?

Thanks

I saw the Xenos kit a few days back and was quite impressed. I would recommend that over the others. I am also using Wheel (malaysian) in one of our cars and that too is quite good.

You can check out Xenos here

I would recommend a system with body sensor. I had a dealer installed Nippon system (Maruti authorized) and also window relays. I love that auto window rolling! Uses are multi fold- security, convenience/comfort, helps keep the cabin clean- overall a "cool" feature. But I don't see how it will work without power windows, though.

if u dont have power windows then u better just go for xenos firewall 200. The other versions are 250 and 350. xenos 250 has immobilizer. Xenos 350 has impact sensors. I feel both of them are not reqd coz they both will screw u up sooner or later. Imagine immobilzer fails and u can't even start the car. Impact sensor failing would cause the alarm to go off all the while.

There's a familiar name! Would it be Jaideep from Bombay who had a car shop on the top of Black Cadillac in the early 90s?! Holy Cow! He's a friend of the whole extended distant family!!

If he's here on the board would you kindly PM him or PM me?

Does buying a HU with detachable front panel help in keeping the thieves at bay?
How secure are these types of HU?
