Is there an available product that will let me add an impact sensor to the factory security system? Altima Coupe 3.5SE 2008.

I've found the exact product here that I want: http://www.courtesyparts.com/nissan-veh ... _7627_7629&

But it states only for 2009+. I need something to prevent break ins and the factory security system is horrible. A thief just breaks window and steals head unit while the owner comes out the next morning to find a vandalized car and the security is still activated! Had that happen with my last vehicle. I figure an impact sensor would at least set off the alarm before a vandal has a chance to steal anything.

If not, what's a decent aftermarket alarm system that integrates with these vehicles considering the IKeys?

Thx!

i have seen that viper security has alot of products like that, they even have a special window tint that can stop the thief from breaking the window. i would go check it out, it is kinda pricey though.

I'm just wanting something to add onto the factory system. Not a full blown sec system, just something to ward off thieves. I have the navigation unit in my new coupe and I'm extremely paranoid someones gonna snatch it. I live in a condo development in a good part of town, but every month or two there's always a couple of cars that have gotten the windows knocked out and looted. Is the factory nav something thieves even target on newer vehicles?

I spotted another thread with a product that seems to fit my needs (a reference at the end of the replies to OP):

Avital 3001 ~ Anyone have any experience with this or something similar? My goal is to keep things simple and as factory as possible, along with a lower cost.
