There's an inclination sensor that arms when the car is locked up. If the angle of the car changes while the alarm is set, the alarm trips. That's it. The brakes don't lock up automatically, our cars aren't THAT advanced yet.

that's sort of what i thought... not too useful and i've seen mercs on tow trucks w/ the alarms blaring away so i guess the tow truck guys would just ignore it.

i need the new ATS (anti-tow shocker) system - you know where the electric probe sticks out and inserts itself into the tow guys' orifice and gives them a shock

The complete instrument cluster went out in my 2001CL55. The car runs normal, but the tach, speedometer, and everything in the heads up display is out. One fuse #21.22.or23 is blown. The lighting system seems at fault because the light switch malfunctions.
