I’ve been testing this magnetic car alarm for weeks, and it’s become my go-to security buddy. The first time it triggered when someone bumped my parked truck, the 108dB siren made ME jump—let alone the startled passerby! That red flashing light is like a mini police strobe, creating instant attention.

The magnetic mount is genius—I stick it to different spots (door frame, dashboard) depending on parking situations. During a storm, it activated from wind vibrations (maybe too sensitive?), but I appreciated knowing it was ‘on duty.’ Pro tip: The remote’s car-finder feature saved me 10 minutes in a crowded Walmart lot when I forgot where I parked.

Battery life surprised me—still going strong after 2 months. I did wish for clearer volume indicators during setup (those beep patterns confused me), and an app would beat the physical remote. But seeing thieves actively avoid my vehicle? Priceless.

Bonus use: I now stick it on my motorcycle helmet when leaving it with delivery guys. That first vibration sets off the warning chirps—their shocked faces are hilarious AND effective.
