Due to the incessant cases of car stereo theft in my area, I decided to fix security alarms for my car but was told my the technician that it is not possible to fix the alarm because the car does not have evaporator.

To the Auto Gurus in the house!!!! Please how true is this and is there another means of installing this alarm.

The car is MAZDA 323F GLX 1996 Model.

abeg what evaporator is your techi talking about

because me am confused

I also tried to figure out what business evaporator has to do with car security alarm system but since it is not my area of specialty, I decided to ask the auto gurus in the house.

He offered to do a makeshift evaporator which I am totally not in support of. I dont want any alteration on my car.

The thing taya me o! . The evaporator go make the car evaporate into thin air! Then re-appear later after the thief don commot. Mostly available in 2016 models of mazda 323.

On a more serious note, your vehicle is not equipped with a central locking system and the doors are opened manually one by one, what ur electrician is calling an evaporator is actually an aftermarket door lock actuator switch, costs about N800-1k for each one. it would have to be fitted to at least 1 door, and wired up so when you press the aftermarket fob, the doors will lock and unlock as you wish. This is an assumption, please correct me if I'm wrong.

@ GAZZUZZ, thanks so much for this important info. The car has central locking system but I just want additional security. (CAR STEREO COST OOOO). I will implement your method for possible positive result. Also thanks for the price check because he actually told me that it cost N2500 for each door and 4pcs cost 10k. Chai.....Baba Tijani wan buy Christmas chicken for my head.

If all ur door locks can pop open and close via the central lock, then I see no point buying the aftermarket actuator. I feel you are about to be conned.

I love cartalk. Chai. I love the way lomomike calls GAZZUZZ to come and see o. I can't stop laughing. This is Xmas. The kazeems and tijanis must have mugus naa.

what you need is a alarm system that will be hooked to the central locking system such that when the central locking is locked, the alarm system arms itself aka turns on for any intrusion

the system must have a shock sensor or wave sensor, the shock or wave sensor detects any sudden movement of the car/or any moment of anything inside and the alarms goes off the senstivity of sensor can be adjusted based on the area you live ie imagine you live close to a busy road and there are always heavy truck passing by their movement might set off the alarm

something like the picture below

@GAZZUZZ and ZIMDRILL, thanks for your invaluable tips. Thumbs Up. All I need to do is look for a competent auto tech. I actually bought the alarm system uploaded by ZIMDRILL and It's now clear that incompetence on the part of Baba Tijani brought about this evaporator (actuator) conspiracy theory or as suggested by GAZZUZZ, he wants to maga me for Christmas chicken.
