Re: CB Radio

just fyi, if the "siren" sounds like a cop siren, turning it on on the street can get you into big trouble. i wouldnt even use it for an alarm if it sounds like a police siren.

are you going to be putting an 8trac in as well? how bout some **** carpet? or a giant disco ball hanging from the mirror?

Re: CB Radio

Heh, my alarm has a talking function, sounded like Astro Boy was trapped under my bonnet. Having a small boy shouting 'arm, disarm' at you in Ching-glish in public, got old in about 2 seconds, went back to the standard chirp.

Especially on the shock trigger, shouts out 'dont touch me'! Absolutely hilarious, until I had visions of kids down the local shopping centre kicking the crap out of the car to make it talk!

Re: CB Radio

I wasn't gonna use it for alarm, just to mess with my friends at there house. If I had a van yes I would do **** carpet and disco ball lol, not so much the 8 track. Basically I wanted the talkin alarm for car shows or somethin like that so when people walk by I can press a button and make it talk.
