The best two-way alarms with feedback
Pandora DX 90B
The main advantage of the Pandora DX 90B car alarm is the optional GPS connection and the presence of 14 security zones. In addition, it is equipped with functions such as engine blocking, anti-theft, auto-arming, security with the engine running, immobilizer mode, perimeter security, delayed arming, remote engine start, turbo timer, function programming, vehicle search. At a price of 12,000 rubles, this is a very good option for two-way signaling with feedback.

StarLine S66 BT 2CAN+2LIN GSM
The main advantage of StarLine S66 BT 2CAN+2LIN GSM is its support for the 2CAN function, which allows you to simplify and speed up the installation of the alarm system, minimizing interference with the car’s electronics. It is possible to authorize using Bluetooth Smart technology. You can control the system either with a standard key or from a smartphone. There are functions of engine blocking, radio interference protection, anti-scanner, PIN code authorization, automatic window closer, and turbo timer. Unfortunately, it does not know how to remotely start the engine and protect the perimeter, and it costs a little more than its competitor - around 15,000 rubles.

The best budget car alarms
SKY M17
An advantage of the SKY M17 car alarm is the Anti-Hijacking function, which turns on after a successful theft, locks the doors and turns on the siren. But there is no emergency shutdown mode for the security mode, and this can significantly complicate your life if you accidentally turn on Anti-Hijacking during a trip. In addition, for 2,000 rubles you will receive an alarm system with two-level shock sensors that can automatically turn off in rain or hail, as well as a function to search for a car in the parking lot - a very convenient option for those who have poor local orientation.
Price: RUB 1,999
Tomahawk CL 550
The Tomahawk CL 550 car alarm is not equipped with the Anti-Hijacking security function, but it is more difficult to hack thanks to dynamic signal coding and the anti-grabber function. Add to this the anti-scanner and the fact that this security system is 100 rubles cheaper (about 1800). The ability to search for cars in the parking lot and additional functionality such as remote trunk opening are also in place. A good system that will suit a car of any make, model and year of manufacture - even an inexpensive one like an elderly domestic “classic”.

The best car alarms with GSM
TEK electronics Prizrak-840
Alarm system from a domestic brand. This security system is capable of blocking the engine and its remote start, the anti-theft function, automatic window closing, as well as programming functions. The main disadvantage of the TEK Electronics Prizrak-840 car alarm was the lack of notification about an attempt to jam the GSM signal. In addition, GPS is installed optionally on this security system. But at a price of 24,000 rubles, these are not too serious shortcomings.
Price: ₽ 21,750
Pandora Pandect X-1900
This anti-theft system costs the same as the competing model above - around 24,000 rubles. If you find fault, the disadvantage of the Pandora Pandect X-1900 car alarm is the lack of control from the key fob, which everyone is so accustomed to. This security system is controlled only by the standard key (Slave) and a smartphone. But the presence of 14 security zones and 3D GPS is its undoubted advantage. Therefore, Pandora Pandect X-1900 is undoubtedly the best car alarm with GSM.
Price: RUB 23,950
The best car alarm models with auto start
More advanced models of car alarms, in addition to feedback, have the functions of auto engine start, auto door locking and other automatic modes. This greatly increases the convenience of working with the system, which can remotely start the engine of your car or, on the contrary, turn it off without the need to visit the salon. In general, alarm systems with auto start are distinguished by a large number of functions and capabilities.
This type of alarm system is more expensive than its previous counterpart, but provides unsurpassed ease of use of the system. Well, built-in GSM and GPS modules further expand the functionality of the device. In addition, the presence of synchronization with smartphones allows you to control all functions of the system from the screen of your favorite device.

Rating of car alarms without autostart up to 10,000 rubles.
Budget systems “out of the box” are not designed for full protection against theft and building a reliable security system, but can be supplemented with additional modules and relays to build a good security system (car alarm-code relay-hood lock). Systems of this class alone (without additional relays and a hood lock) are not capable of protecting a car from theft!
First place StarLine S66 GSM
1. StarLine S66 GSM - 2021 model, the best car alarm in terms of price-quality-functionality, based on the S66 GSM you can implement almost all anti-theft functionality: register additional digital locking relays (R4), including wireless ones (R6 eco), implement blocking the standard radio channel and OBD connector, enable additional authorization using standard buttons on the steering wheel or a mobile phone, connect hood locks (when purchasing an R6) and door locks (pins in the door), implement additional wired engine locks. The system integrates GSM, Bluetooth, 2CAN, 2LIN modules, control is carried out from the car’s standard key fob, mobile phone or button on the tag. Keyless remote engine starting is supported when purchasing an additional module (not needed for all cars), as well as the ability to install a GPS antenna.
