There's really nothing you can do to prevent someone from taking a big ax and smashing your windows. It's near impossible to steal a w220, so you don't have to worry about that.

In other words, just use the stock alarm. Not many other choices out there.

sorry, I forgot, but I was thinking about with the bubbles in the glass some S owners are praying for someone to smash the glass.
I was wondering too , the bubbly glass, is that peculiar to just the S, I would assume MB used the same supplier on other models too?
