    Nice, but around here, once that VX comes out of the garage, kiss your system goodbye. Around here, they even take your alarm too. My advice.... REALLY dark tint.... or leave it in a garage.

    It's protected...

    I mean, enough to the point where I don't worry much. I park in a garage at work, and at home. And when I go out shopping or to the mall I drive the Axiom...

    I know it's not impervious, and the gremlins are out there, but I can't hole up and let that fear keep me from all that I enjoy...

    I'm not planning on it being stolen, but I expect that I'll have to take measures to protect the VX more so than without the system - Proof that I'm not ignoring that possiblity (thus the extra insurance!).

    As with all things, it's fun while it lasts.

    Dark DARK DARk tint is in order, though.

    Biju, if you dont already have one, the 2-way alarms are very nice and the new fm ones have a nice range on them. Thats one of the first things I did was go 2-way on my alarm. I didnt get the fm versions, but I didnt really need that type of range either.

    Whadd'ya say Nav.... wanna take a "road trip" to Colorado?

    Biju, tinting from the driver passenger window would be perfect ya know. Luckily, here in MD, window tint on SUVs is more overlloked by law. Just about every wondow but the windshield and front side windows can be tinted. With the rears all tinted dark, that system is as good as stealth.... until you drive through Anacostia with the volume turned up.

    Nice system though. Layout is a little, odd, but the equipment sounds like it will be quite the in-car playground. My advice.... get Cinematic Orchestra's "Everyday" album. Albums like THAT are what good systems are made for.

    Thanks all for the concern...!

    Got the appointment on Wednesday @ Cartoys after your concerned 'nudges'. Thanks.

    Between the new alarm on Wednesday, garage, my 'little friend' (*calling tony montana*, *calling tony montana*), and the Colorado 'Make My Day' law - I think she's covered.

    p.s. - Thanks for the kudo's on the table.
