THE AUTO TASER

Let's face it. Auto theft is big business and statistics show that if you are driving a vehicle on the car thieves most wanted list, it is just a matter of time before you are their next victim! Contrary to popular belief, most car thieves don't target Ferrari's or Lamborghini's, they are looking for the common, everyday cars that you see everywhere. The kind of car that YOU drive. Toyota, Nissan, Jeep, Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, -- these are the cars that they want either for parts or the entire vehicle. While there are now car alarm stores on nearly every corner, how many sell a vehicle security system that actually FIGHTS BACK? We do! Introducing AUTO TASER, an automotive security system that is so effective, it's UNTOUCHABLE! The AUTO TASER is the first anti-theft system to ACTIVELY PUNISH any thief who tries to tamper with your vehicle. Simply lock the AUTO TASER on your steering wheel, arm it with your specially coded remote control, and walk-away. Only you can activate/deactivate the AUTO TASER’s electron field with your rolling-code remote control.

If the AUTO TASER’s ultra sensitive vibration detectors sense an intruder, a screeching 120 to 130 decibel alarm is sounded as a warning before aggressive countermeasures are initiated. Five seconds later, a field of electrons completely surrounds the unit. Any attempt to touch the AUTO TASER zaps the thief with an unforgettable, yet non-lethal 5,900 milliwatt (50,000 VOLT) electron pulse.

* * * FOUR SECURITY SYSTEMS IN ONE

The AUTO TASER gives you the advantage of four complete car security systems in one wireless unit.

1. TASER® technology. Patented TASER technology surrounds the AUTO TASER unit to ZAP the fingers of any thief who attempts to tamper With the AUTO TASER.

2. A 120 + decibel siren. The vibration-activated sensors sound a screeching alarm.

3. Steering wheel-locking device. Made from hardened steel; designed to prevent a thief from turning the wheel.

4. Car stereo protection. Positioning the AUTO TASER unit in front of the car stereo system can prevent thieves from stealing your audio system.

INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY

Based on the same technology as the famous AIR TASER® self-defense system, the AUTO TASER is proven to safely and effectively defend your car when you’re not there. Further, since it’s locked inside your vehicle, someone walking past your car will not be stunned by the AUTO TASER. The AUTO TASER does not produce long-term injuries -- just a stunning experience for the car thief.

KEY BENEFITS

Protects Your #1 Asset -- your stereo. Statistics show that the #1 reason thieves break into cars is to steal the stereo. If your security system doesn't protect your stereo, you're leaving yourself vulnerable to broken windows, ripped up dashboards, and stolen stereo systems.

May Reduce Your Insurance Premiums up to 20%. The AUTO TASER comes with an insurance reduction certificate which you can mail-in to your auto insurance carrier to apply for a discount. Some companies offer discounts as high as 20%. In some cases, AUTO TASER users
have received discounts in their first year which were greater than the cost of the AUTO TASER. They actually made money.

Legal and Child Safe. The AUTO TASER is designed well within Internationally accepted standards for electrical safety. It poses no risk of injury even to young children or pets. Because of the careful design, AUTO TASER is legal to use in all 50 states.

Forget about expensive security systems. Forget about the cheap "clubs." No other car security system can match all of these amazing features at ANY PRICE!!!

System comes complete with: AUTO TASER, 2 Keys, 2 Window Stickers, 1 Instruction
Manual, 3 Plastic spacers for steering wheel, 1 Remote control, 1 Insurance Reduction Certificate.

Defend your car with the AUTO TASER. It’s untouchable!

I think alarms are useful if you isntalled them yourself or atleast have the siren or whatever else that needs to be "still" connected to the car if its being stolen hidden so it cant be turned off. Honestly there's SOME dishonest people out there that install alarms and give people info on where everything is located so they can turn it off.

basically its worth it if its installed right

The alarm I was looking at came with an lcd screen on the remote and would notify you if your vehicle and been broken into. Then you come out of your house/workplace/mistress' apartment and beat the m0therfvcker that is messin with your ride.
