Car alarms & anti-theft locks

Car alarms and anti-theft locks in the United States

In the United States a basic 1-way car alarm or keyless kit costs about $35 to $80, and a 2-way system with an LCD remote about $90 to $300. Steering wheel locks sell for about $46 to $130. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. Post a request on BlaBlaPrice to get current offers that fit your car.

Warranty and what it covers

Read the warranty before you buy, because some systems cover only thefts within one year from the date of purchase. One listed security system is limited in this way, and the registration card must be filled in and returned. Ask whether the seller supports the warranty after installation. Ford also offers a security package for its trucks that sends theft alerts and allows remote checks, so compare factory options for your model.

Ignition, transmission and fitting

The ignition type, the transmission type and the year of your car decide which kit will work, so do not assume a universal product fits. Many systems need a professional installation, and the fitting usually adds to the price, so ask for the total. Keyless kits and alarms with remote start may also need extra wiring, so confirm the fitting plan before you buy.

Season and timing

The cold months from December to February can drain the batteries in remotes, so a system that works in November may need a new battery in January. A November fitting gives you time to test the system before the winter. In summer, June to August, check that the remote still works after long hours in a hot car.

What to put in your request

Name the system type you want, such as a basic alarm, a 2-way LCD model or a steering wheel lock, and give the car's make, model and year. Add the ignition type, the transmission type and any features such as remote start. Say whether you want fitting included, and state your budget, so sellers can quote a total.
