How do you protect your expensive Head Unit from Prying eyes??

What are the best ways to prevent a break-in to our vehicles after upgrading the sound system?
I read somewhere in mbworld that someone had a face from their factory radio that they put on the new HU.

Any gimmicks OR suggestions?...Please share.

I have prevented many car radios from being stolen

1 Viper alarm
2 Hood lock
3 back up battery
4 2 pairs of air horns
5 glass breakage sensor
6 optional police siren hooked up to alarm and storbe lights

all those will defenetly triger the alarm amd draw alot of attention to your car no body will want to mess with it, and if installed by proffesional such as my self will defently prevent from false alarms

Exclamation BDSI alarm

Most everyone looks the other way when they hear an alarm ringing, yelping, or firing phasors.

If you really want to keep people out of your car you need a BDSI alarm, by Canine Systems.
