Is an alarm required?
Snippets on car insurance say an anti-theft device is not a mandatory requirement in India, but that installing one is recommended to improve security. Ask your insurer whether a device changes your premium or your claim terms, and keep the installation invoice with your car papers. The right device depends on the car's ignition type, so the fitter needs that detail.
Rules and equipment
A news snippet reports that India has removed licensing requirements for automotive radar and connected-car communication systems. Installers still need to match the equipment to the car, so check the gearbox type and ignition type before you buy any parts. Ask whether the installer supplies the equipment or you do.
Season and climate
Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai have a tropical climate, hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. There is no winter peak for installations, so you can book at any time of year. Cars parked in the sun get very hot, so ask the fitter how cables and the head unit are protected from heat.
