why? Is someone really gonna try to break into your car and be scared away by a blinking light? They don't get scared away half the time when real alarm start going off. I would think a viper license plate frame or sticker would be more effective.

If you're good with soldering/electrical, why don't you try to find a cheap used alarm somewhere and make it work?

I've never seen anyone pay any attention to a car alarm, other than to express annoyance if it keeps on going and going...

They're useless.

Hardly. When insurance companies stop giving discounts for car alarms, then they could be considered useless. They don't cut into their profit margin for no reason. Alarms are supposed to be annoying, that's why they are called "alarms" and not "excuseme's"...
