Car alarms are the first (and often the only) line of defense between a criminal and someone else's “iron horse”. And so that motorists sleep peacefully at night and are confident in the integrity of their car, we suggest choosing one of the best alarm systems with auto start 2017. The rating is based on the popularity of car alarms on Yandex.Market.
10. Pandora LX 3030
The average price is 9 972 rubles.
The list of car alarms opens with an easy to configure and very functional model. It is equipped with a feedback function, LIN-module for easy installation, miniUSB-connector and GSM. Another advantage of this model is its very low power consumption.
Disadvantage: not in all stores, as the LX 3030 system is discontinued.
9. Cenmax Vigilant ST-5A
The average price is 4 040 rubles.
The cheapest alarm, but with a rich set of features. Among them:
- feedback function;
- turbo timer - supports the operation of a turbocharged engine at idle from 1 to 3 minutes;
- vibration alert;
- Anti-Hi-Jack - a function that prevents violent theft by phasing out the car engine while driving;
- and, of course, autostart engine.
Of the minuses of this alarm, a very fragile case can be noted, so do not put the keychain in your pocket with keys. Also, when the remote control and the unit are separated, they begin to look for each other, and they do this very energy-intensively.
8. StarLine D95 GSM / GPS
The average price is 25 900 rubles.
For its high price, the alarm will work in full. She has the most advanced features:
- unscanned dialog code;
- free monitoring of GPS-GLONASS;
- integrated CAN + LIN modules;
- noise-protected transceiver with noise-like signal;

One of the best in terms of price and quality alarm systems with traditional features for modern models:
- range of 2,000 meters;

- engine start by temperature;
- GSM
- mini-USB interface;

1. Scher-Khan Magicar 14
The average cost is 16,000 rubles.
Champion in range (3000 meters) in the ranking of the best car alarms of 2017. It is perfect for modern cars thanks to multi-level protection, the presence of an intelligent turbo timer and the SLAVE mode, which allows using the standard remote control to control the security functions. Another feature of Sherkhan is a call sensor activated from outside the machine. This will call the owner of the car without a mobile phone. And the “Hands-free” mode automatically sets and disarms the car when approaching or moving away the owner.

Tip: After purchasing an alarm, do not place a label on the machine with its name. Some motorists believe that in this way they show potential hijackers that the car is under guard. However, knowing the exact name of the alarm, it will be easier for criminals to pick up a “key” to it.
And good luck on the road!
