How To Keep Your Car Stereo Safe
Having a great car will not be complete without a good audio system. Although stock car audio systems are good enough for some, music lovers like you and me would surely like to have that extra oomph. So in order to have a good car audio system, we save and buy a high-end car stereo. But what if, unfortunately, your car gets stolen or the windows broken and the car stereo taken? That would surely be a big blow.
So to avoid car audio theft, we should make sure that we take every precaution to protect it. We know that parking in a dark area is a no-no and keeping the doors locked is a priority to keep thieves away, there are things that we might not be aware of yet which can help us protect that spanking new car audio.
So I surfed the net and got these tips from this site. One of the comments read: “I’d recommend speaking to an in-car specialist about anti-theft devices first and foremost and see what is suitable for your budget. Secondly, pay more attention to where you’re parking if you aren’t already - consider the likelihood of a break-in. Also survey your car from the thieves’ perspective - is there anything on show that would be appealing to a thief? Make sure the car looks as bare as you can, and if there are vital things you need that you cannot have in the car try and conceal them as best you can.”
Here’s something that I wasn’t aware of before: “If you are bad at taking the faceplate, consider an Eclipse stereo. They use a key CD to lock the stereo if the power is cut, making the resale value very low. Plus the ones that are stolen have a high recovery rate because the have to be returned to the company to reset the locking feature after 10 tries.”
Another reads: “(Get) a factory stereo. No-one wants ‘em. Better yet, a factory stereo with a tape deck. For $15 you can buy one of those cassette-jack things and use it with an iPod.”
