If you live in San Diego or the surrounding neighborhoods, what are some of the things that you can do to protect your car from theft? Here are a few quick vehicle safety tips:

Hide valuables out of sight – A person may not steal your car if there are valuables in sight, but you could return to find your window smashed and your bag, electronics, or other valuable items stolen.
Keep doors locked and windows rolled up – Theft is often about convenience. The tougher you make it to get into your car the better. Plus, if your car ever does get stolen, the first thing your insurance company will ask is if the doors were locked and the windows were rolled up all the way.
Never leave your car running – The only exception would be if you have a remote starter that allows you to turn your car on in the driveway to warm it up while the car is still locked. In fact, a good remote starter won’t let you start the vehicle unless the doors are locked.
Get a car alarm – Having a car alarm professionally installed works as a deterrent, saves you money on your car insurance, and may help you get your car back if it is ever stolen.

3 Things to Consider When Getting a Remote Car Starter

Soundiego — Tue, 11 Sep 2018 18:20:07 +0000

One of the nice features on many modern car alarm systems is a remote starter. Whether your remote starter is going to be paired with an alarm system or it is a standalone feature, here are a few things that you need to think about.

Where do you park? – The range on a remote car starter can vary wildly from about 500 feet to nearly a mile. So you have to think about how far you park from where you will want to start the car. You don’t need a huge range to start a car in your driveway, especially if you are willing to walk to a nearby room, but if you want to start your car in the parking lot at work before you begin walking from your office on the other side of the building, you will need more of a range.
Remote starter features – Some remote starters allow you to do more than simply turn on the engine. You may be able to engage the defrosters or seat heaters as well. The more features you are looking for, the more you will likely have to spend on the starter system.
Professional installation – You can just go with the cheapest installer and hope he knows what he is doing. But if you find a professional remote starter or car alarm system installer, that will ensure that everything is set up professionally and works well from day one.

Three Types of Modern Tech Your Car Should Not Be Without

Soundiego — Tue, 28 Nov 2017 18:00:21 +0000

There are all sorts of technological advancements that have been designed for modern vehicles. But whether you just drove off the lot or have the same car you did a decade ago, here are three upgrades you want to be sure you have so that you get the most from your vehicle.

An Alarm System – Okay, so this isn’t a recent invention, but the fact is that modern alarm systems do so much more than just protect your car from theft. Many alarm systems include a package of modern conveniences from a remote starter to an app that allows you to roll up your windows without going outside if it suddenly begins to rain.
An Audio/Visual System – While this is more of a want than a need to some people, you have to keep in mind that we live in a world that is inundated with technology. Some people are connected from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed. The ability to charge devices, connect to the Internet, and enjoy recreation during a long ride is going to vital to most passengers.
LED Lighting – Both inside and outside your car, you want your lighting to be environmental-friendly and cost-effective. LED lighting accomplishes both of these goals, all while being aesthetically pleasing and potentially improving safety during night driving.

3 Myths About Car Alarm Systems

Soundiego — Mon, 10 Jul 2017 07:00:10 +0000

Some people are hesitant to have a car alarm installed because they don’t live in a bad neighborhood and don’t see it as a necessary expense. That usually just means a person doesn’t understand the many benefits of car alarms. Others mistakenly think an alarm system can more than it actually does. Here are 3 myths about car alarms.

Myth #1 A Car Alarm Keeps the Police Out

This is false depending on where you are. For example, in NYC, police officers are legally allowed to disable an alarm. The best thing to do is never have anything illegal in your vehicle. Then it won’t matter if police decide to search the car.

Myth #2 You Can Install It Yourself

You may have the mechanical and tech savvy to install a car alarm, but few laymen do. As a result, if you have any concerns at all about removing your car’s dash or messing with the delicate electrical system, don’t bother. Hire a professional car alarm installer.

Myth #3 A Car Alarm Is Just for Anti-Theft

There are tons of other features included in modern alarm systems including things like remote starting. Plus, adding an alarm system to your car can provide an auto insurance discount. You may find that over time you save more than your initial investment in the alarm system and installation.

3 Ways to Turn a Used Car Into Something Special

Soundiego — Wed, 28 Jun 2017 09:56:33 +0000

You don’t need to go out to buy a new car to have a vehicle that really wows your friends. We’re going to take a look at three things you can do to any ordinary car that will make a huge difference in appearance and style. Whether you are driving an older vehicle now or you are purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, here are our top 3 ways to turn the ordinary into extraordinary.

#1 Tint the Windows

Nothing immediately makes a car cooler than tinted glass, and we mean that both figuratively and literally. Window tint can keep the inside of your car from heating up as much in the sun and can keep your A/C from having to work as hard.

#2 Install LED Lighting

LEDs can add a glow to the inside of your vehicle that is aesthetically pleasing and creates an environment of alertness. On the outside of your vehicle, LED lights can provide better road illumination to create a visually pleasing light and improve visibility. It’s the perfect blend of safe and suave.

#3 Add an Audio/Visual System

From thumping bass to LCD monitors in the back of each headrest, nothing makes a car instantly appear more modern than the right sound and video system. High-tech displays and perfect tones create visual appeal and provide entertainment everywhere you go.

No matter what you may be driving, the right add-ons can modernize it. Soundiego has the experienced installers to take care of your project, large or small.
