    sayang sir, sana yung binili niyo pa lang nakapagdeal na kayo sa SA, usually they will give you the alarm free if you get the insurance from them. anyway, same brand yun alarm ko and honda quezon ave nilagay. ok naman yung alarm up to now pero yung isa nasira ko na. hehehe

    btw, 8 years na lakakabit yung alarm ko. satisfied naman po.

    there's a lot more alarm brands na mura yet better tha titan. You could ask your dealer if they would void the warranty if you buy outside the alarm and Honda Casa mag-install. Logically, that shouldn't be a reason for voiding the warranty kasi sila din ang gagalaw sa electricals.

    Titan ang pinakabit ko sa Innova J ko last 2005. It's still working. Hindi ko lang masabi kung okay ito compared to other brands.

    titan is ok naman...just be aware that titan alarm sometimes have a weak signal...you have to put the remote so close to your unit before disabling the system...since honda yun unit and if you got some extra money to spare I suggest you go with the Code alarm

    Are you referring to the Code Red alarm na nabibili sa Blade?

    I had a bad experience with my Titan Car Alarm that was factory installed by Honda Alabang. It just hang and I needed to bring the car back twice for the car alarm issue. They failed to repair it so they just changed it to another alarm....

    After they changed the alarm, I lost a couple of salient features of the old alarm, like valet mode and shock mode.... I did not complain anymore,- at least I have a 'working alarm' than no alarm at all....

    I have both Titan and Code alarms installed in different vehicles. One of the Titan alarm's remote controllers malfunctioned during the first year (not a battery issue). I brought it numerous times to Honda and they fixed it but then it is broken again. The only solution now is to buy a replacement remote controller (P700 I think) but that is not the same shape and size as the original I got. BTW, the alarm is almost 4 years old.

    As for the Code alarm, I think it varies on the model. I have a friend whose Code alarm works from over a hundred feet away while that I have is no good beyond 30 feet. I had this checked many times but Winterpine said they can't do anything more. Also, the siren unit is small (others have larger units that make a whole lot of noise - good deterrent). This Code alarm is less than 3 months old and it has not met my expectations completely.

    As for AVT, I have no experience with this brand except for the HU of my Grand Starex (and we're talking alarms here). So I'd go for Code first (though it's more expensive) and Titan next.

Very effective and satisfied ka talaga sa performance. The best anti-carnapping and anti-carjacking talaga.
    GSM alarm is not available at Honda. I can't use other alarms because Honda will void my warranty if I have my car serviced outside casa.

    With regard to the auto start feature, I don't think my City can have that because it has an immobilizer. The original key must be inserted to start the engine.

    Maybe I'll try the Code alarm. Does anyone have a picture of the remotes of the Code, AVT, and Titan alarm? Google gives me too many results that confuses me.

    I found this image from google, but I don't know which one Honda sells:

Okay ba ang Titan Car Alarm
