yup, I like it as it looks like a regular car alarm with the blinking red light in the switch

I also have the volumetric alarm combined to the same switch and led My radio flashes too, so that makes 2 nice red leds to get the message over "don't touch the car....." Just have to find a way of getting a Doberman inside as an extra deterrent

Funny, my car doesn't have the tow alarm either, but mine did come with xenons and headlamp washers from the factory. Also have the homelink garage door opener on my rear view. For security, I intend to hire my friends Smith & Wesson.

It is cool to see all the different options every one has, I have the tow alarm, home link, telephone linked to head unit, but no xenons and no head light wipers (personally I do not like the look of head light wipers).

Wait I thought it was difficult to own guns in Canada??

The Mirror clips on to the existing mirror. I hard wired it and tucked the cord away. It tells you when a red light camera or speed camera is coming up. Its GPS data and updated. It can have a some radar detectors plugged into it to read on the mirror.

The time is shown when stopped, but will show speed as you move. Its pretty accurate. It also has a function to let you know when you go over a certain speed. Mine dings at 80 and has brought my led foot to my attention.Cheetah I found on Ebay for a lot less. They have non mirror devices too.

The mirror nice a wide view. I can see more and better for the kids in the back. I am happy with it.
This mirror is freakin awesome!! I was looking at the ones that can show arrows from Valentine v1, but this looks much better

It is pretty difficult to acquire such firearms up here, so I say it in jest. It is possible, though, to have such things, but you have to go through much paperwork. Quite a bit different than, say, Arizona.

I suppose I should get a gun at some point or another, because there will be little to no warning when a zombie apocalypse may occur.

When I lived in an apartment/condo, there was a break in. The 0%ers took my 50" TV, my TAG Heuer and a large bottle of Johnnie Walker Red. It would've been worth them doing it just to catch them doing it! With my buddies Smith & Wesson! Or perhaps Heckler & Koch!

But back to obligatory Benz talk - I need to replace the blades on my headlamp wipers. I think I will just cut down a bit of a regular blade as opposed to buying new headlamp wiper blades.
