Default Small proximity alarm system

Anyone aware of an alarm system that will cover a small 2-3 foot proximity and no more? The concept of operation is to protect the interior of the jeep, mainly center console. I would not like the ones that go off when someone walks closely to the jeep. Too many false alarms.

Any help is appreciated. I am new to the forum and am excited to be a part of it!

Viper prox sensors and I'm guessing most all of them are adjustable. Single zone sensors cover the interior. Dual zone has a warning for exterior and then triggers alarm on interior. Trial and error until you get it where you want it.

X2 on this, single zone prox sensors are the way to go, just make sure u adjust accordingly so that every cat that walks by doesn't set it off!

I think you would be better served with a lock box for under the rear seat. An alarm won't keep someone from taking the stuff from your console

From the FSM

"The export premium version of the VTA system is only available in vehicles manufactured for sale in certain markets where it is required equipment. The export premium version of the VTA provides the same perimeter protection features as the base version, but adds interior vehicle intrusion protection. The export premium VTA also enhances the pulsing horn feature of the base version with an alarm siren as the audible deterrent, while retaining the flashing exterior lamps as the visual deterrent."

Might be a place to start

I have the Viper 2 way system and I installed the P508D right under the cup holders so it would be close to the center console but also have a good range. It works perfect!

Not to offer something you don't want, but I read an article on how hidden cameras have been helping catch thieves and recover stolen goods. Now cops are using them in bait cars, but I can see how, with some tweaking, it could help someone identify someone that went into their car and who it was.
