If your car had a PS3, wireless router and digital TV tuner in it, wouldn’t you want to put in the best alarm system you could possibly imagine? That’s why we went to the guys at Intelematics to look after security for the GizMod Rukus.
Thought I’d point to the excellent Carcom car intelligence system, also by Intelematics (the crew behind SUNA Traffic Channel), in case you’d never heard of it. First launched a couple of years ago, it was so well received that the company went into heavy duty production for factory fitting these systems for a number of automakers. If you have Holden Assist, Toyota Link, or Mitsubishi Diamondtrack, then you have the Carcom system. For everyone else, you can buy direct for around $2000 installation and $300 per year.
