Requesting info on alarms

[Naildrivingman]

I have only had one non oem alarm installed in my vehicles over the years. So I know next to nothing about good alarms.

I would appreciate any information regarding manufacturers of alarms.

Here’s what I have: 2020 3500 RWD 170” Extended 3.0 diesel. No glass except for the cabin.

Here’s what I desire: Shock sensor, intrusion sensor, auto-arm (for when I forget), DIY capable install, plug and play preferred, integral to two button oem fob preferred

I’m also thinking about auxiliary mechanical locks as a deterrent to the cargo area. I will be hauling $1000’s of tools every day. I need to keep them as safe as possible.

Thanks,
Chris

MidCityEngineering responded to my request for info with two options for alarm only, no remote start, etc., for a 2019 (likely the same for installation).

Fit a Clifford 330x3
Add these sensors
Dual proximity (chirps when someone tries to get close to the van)
Tilt & motion sensor
Glass break sensor
Microwave sensor for the rear

Mostly plug and play.

For locks there is only one solution it’s these for the rear and sliding door.

ArmourShell

Unique lock is bolted to the surface of the vehicle, it acts as a great visual deterrent and is highly effective against doors being jemmied apart by it's unique interlocking design.

For the cabin doors it’s these

Hooklock | ProtectAVan

Operated by a high security key, a secondary Mortice lock that acts independently to the manufactureres locking system by throwing a hookbolt into a specially designed keep, enabling optimum vehicle security. A Hooklock operates the same as a Deadlock but a hook is thrown from the lock case...

Protect the factory locks with these.

I’ve also got a canbus immobiliser that requires a code to activate the ignition through the buttons on your steering wheel.

By all means and some proper deadlocks, but there's little point wasting your money protecting the factory locks.

That ArmorShell looks really nice. Most of the locks I have seen look like add-ons with the lock showing. This kinda looks 'factory.'
