			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A motto of the CIA is that your conscience should be like your hat: leave it at the door on your way in, but never forget where you left it. The CIA&#8217;s other motto is that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. At ECarSecurity.com, we believe both those admonishments apply to car security, and that is why we offer car alarm paging systems that allow you to constantly be in contact with your automobile. Leave your car in the parking lot, but never take your eye off it.</p>
<p>With our car alarm paging systems (also known as 2-way paging alarms), we offer a means to be instantly alerted when your car&#8217;s security measures are breached. These are truly indispensable devices&#8211;not only for the security of your car, but also for your peace of mind. Our selection of car alarm paging systems is vast and varied, but we would like to present some examples that we believe will elucidate just how diverse your choices are when you explore ECarSecurity.com.</p>
<p>Let us begin with the Galaxy 5100RS, which is a 2-way paging car alarm and remote starter all in one. Consequently, you can keep you car safe while you are away, and warm it up before you get back. Another great choice is our Astra 7T7, a complete security system that incorporates, among other things, a full color LCD remote, dual zone shock sensor, siren, and wiring harnesses.</p>
<p>In addition, every purchase from our array of car alarms paging systems comes with a free wiring diagram and a free leather case with LCD remotes, and most importantly, a lifetime guarantee. Our reputation is sterling, and we have a long history of association with the equally acclaimed companies BoostCarAudio and PureCarAudio. For more information, don&#8217;t hesitate to contact us directly at 800-227-8990.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone interested in buying a car alarm has already proven themselves to be a prudent car owner. As they say, knowing is half the battle. Now that you&#8217;ve come half-way, don&#8217;t sell you car short by settling for less than the best when it comes to car alarms. At ECarSecurity.com, we offer top-notch car alarm systems from such proven and credible sources as Astra and Galaxy. When it comes to protecting your automobile from unsavory elements, no other online vendor&#8217;s selection surpasses our own.</p>
<p>We offer three different types of systems. The first is remote starter with car alarm systems. These are essentially car alarm systems, but with an additional remote device that you can use to start your car&#8217;s engine from a distance. This is a great option for when you want to warm up or cool down you car&#8217;s interior before you climb in.  You can get one of these full featured systems with 2 way paging capabilities or without.</p>
<p>The second type is 2-way paging car alarms. These are car alarm systems that give you long distance insight into your car&#8217;s condition. When someone tries to break into it, the LCD remote that you carry with you will light up and vibrate, alerting you to the situation. It&#8217;s like having a guard on duty at all times who can call you directly when something untoward occurs!</p>
<p>The third type available at ECarSecurity.com is basic car alarms. These systems are like the above but without the 2 way paging features. These can actually comprise very sophisticated features, ranging from auto-locks to built-in parking-light relays, and much more. When it comes to all three types of car alarms, we carry a wide assortment of choices&#8211;all at very competitive prices. For more information on our products and services, visit our website or contact us directly at 800-227-8990 or mail@ecarsecurity.com.</p>

We want our customers to be informed of what they are buying when they are choosing a Remote Starter, Car Alarm or both. We have the largest variety of systems on the internet for a reason! We specialize only in Car Security and Remote Starters, meaning you will get the best parts and service for exactly what you need! We also carry many different accessories and replacement remotes, we also are the first to release any new products.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Below we have written a brief overview of what you need to know before purchasing a system. </span><br />
<br style="font-weight: bold;" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lets start with one of the most frequently asked questions, the 2 way systems.</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><img src="http://www.ecarsecurity.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/twoway.gif" border="0px" alt="" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
</div>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">LCD 2 way remote pagers are the ones with 2 way capability. They will communicate back and forth with your vehicle. Basically it will confirm anything your car is doing. For example, if you arm/lock the vehicle from far away, the car will arm/lock and send a signal back to the LCD remote which will confirm that it locked/armed. Likewise, lets say you press engine start from inside your house, it will start the engine and send back a confirmation to the LCD notifying you that it has actually started. Also when someone tampers with the vehicle or sets off the alarm the LCD remote will also vibrate/sound letting you know the vehicle alarm is triggered. This is of course very convenient, you can even have the car do a silent alarm (siren does not go off) but your LCD remote is still notified! We have plenty of systems that include a car alarm, remote starter and 2 way capabilities. Some come with two 2 way LCD&#8217;s some come with one 2 way lcd and one regular remote, we also have systems with just regular remotes. It is up to you what you choose. That is why we offer the largest variety of systems on the internet. Remember though, buying a system with two LCD remotes will save you money as opposed to buying an LCD remote later individually. Again with all of our systems comes the ability to choose exactly what features you like.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Now what we want our customers to ask themselves before deciding what they want.</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Do you want a Remote Starter aka Car Start, Auto Start Engine Starter?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Do you want a Car Alarm aka Car Security?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Do you want Keyless Entry?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Do you want 2 way capabilities with 2 Way LCD remotes?</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
These are the basic questions you need to find out first. We have plenty of options for you to choose from including all 4 of the options combined or just 1 of them. The recommended options would be to have a combination of all 4, that way you can have all the features and save the most money in the end. We are the only place online that offers so many different options for you!</span></p>
<p>Once you answer these questions we can narrow down the products that you will be interested in. This way you have a couple options left and you can make the perfect decision for your needs.</p>
<p>Remote Starter with Car Alarm &amp; Keyless Entry<br />
Remote Starter &amp; Keyless Entry Only<br />
Car Alarm/Security &amp; Keyless Entry Only</p>
<p>All of these can be optioned with 2 way LCD&#8217;s or regular 1 way remotes.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Does your car need a bypass module?</span></p>
<p>Keep in mind if you are getting a remote car starter, you should also be getting a bypass module. Most vehicles built after 1995 will require a bypass module to allow reliable remote starting. This is a definitely recommended and we definitely have the right bypass module for you! Like all of our products, we offer the best quality versions, the <a href="http://www.ecarsecurity.com/ADS-bypass-module-p/ads%20tb%20custom%20programmed.htm" target="_blank">ADS Bypass module</a> is custom programmed to your vehicle and works flawlessly as if the car came like that from the factory!<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Now our Product Recommendations&#8230;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ECarSecurity.com (aka Car Security Professionals Inc.) has determined the most costly often vandalized possession you own is your vehicle. Millions of vehicles a day are left somewhere while you are working, vacationing, sleeping, visiting, eating etc&#8230; At no point should you leave your car unprotected without a car alarm or security system.</p>
<p>As times continue to get tougher, cars become targeted for vandalism on an hourly basis. In some areas there is no way you can leave your car parked without a car security system installed. Every car that seems easier to vandalize will always get vandalized before a security enforced vehicle. Chances are your car you will be vandalized at least twice in your lifetime. Wether its breaking the window to steal something or trying to steal the vehicle itself, do not leave your car unprotected!</p>
<p>You paid for your vehicle, yet you are leaving it somewhere unprotected, doesn&#8217;t make much sense if you think about it. Now is the time to secure your possession just like you would your house and other items you own. Your car is left the most vulnerable at the most times!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Computerworld</span> &#8211;    	People were doing a whole lot more <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/346063/_War_of_Innovation_Will_Change_Face_of_Search">online searching</a> last month, and they were still largely using the Google engine to do it.</p>
<p>&#8220;A comScore, Inc. study released late last week showed that 46% more online searches were made worldwide last month than in December, 2008. In all, the Web tracking firm said, people 15 and older conducted 131 billion searches just in December, or an average of 4 billion searches a day, 175 million per hour, and 29 million per minute.</p>
<p>&#8220;The global search market continues to grow at an extraordinary rate, with both highly developed and emerging markets contributing to the strong growth worldwide,&#8221; said Jack Flanagan, comScore executive vice president, in a statement. &#8220;Search is clearly becoming a more ubiquitous behavior among Internet users that drives navigation not only directly from search engines but also within sites and across networks.&#8221;</p>
<p>ComScore also noted that the online users in the United States conduct more searches than people anywhere else in the world. Americans accounted for 22.7 billion searches, or approximately 17% of all worldwide searches, last month.</p>
<p>&#8220;Forty-six percent year-to-year growth in search is certainly a big number, but not a shockingly big number,&#8221; said Dan Olds, an analyst with Gabriel Consulting Group. &#8220;We know that search is the most heavily used Web mechanism and, with people conducting more and more of their personal business on the Web, it&#8217;s natural that Web search is growing at a high rate. Factor in the search growth in countries where consumers are just now getting wide access to both computing and broadband, and it&#8217;s easier to see how search grew at a nearly 50% clip from 2008 to 2009.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9143758/Google_named_Word_of_the_Decade">Search giant Google</a> lived up to its reputation in 2009, accounting for 66.8%, or 87.8 billion, of all searches last month, according to comScore. Of the 131 billion searches conducted last month, 87.8 billion of them were done on Google&#8217;s site. The Web tracker also noted that Google sites achieved a 58% increase in search query volume over the past year.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Released by the Insurance Information Institute.</p>
<ul>
<li>In 2008 the value of stolen motor vehicles was $6.4 billion.</li>
<li>The dollar size of claims has been going up, reflecting the higher value of new cars on the road, the value of the cars that are targets for theft or are damaged and the cost of vehicle bodywork.</li>
<li>Nationally, more than 75,000 airbags are stolen every year.</li>
<li><strong>Thefts By City:</strong> According to an NICB study released in April 2009, the Modesto, California, Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) had the highest rate per capita for vehicle thefts in the nation in 2008. Six of the top 10 U.S. MSAs for vehicle theft in 2008 were in California.</li>
<li><strong>Component Theft:</strong> More than 75,000 air bags are stolen every year, according to estimates by the Insurance Information Institute. NICB says that air bag theft costs insurers and vehicle owners more than $50 million a year. New air bags cost about $1,000 from a car dealer; on the black market the cost is between $50 and $200. To thwart thieves, steering wheel covers used with a steel bar steering wheel lock are available. New York combats air bag theft by requiring accident reports to note air bag deployment, and specifies procedures for auto repair shops to follow when replacing stolen or deployed air bags. Xenon headlights and global positioning systems (GPS) are also popular with thieves. By mid-2008, insurers and the NICB had observed a growing nationwide trend in the theft of catalytic converters. These components contain small amounts of platinum and palladium, precious metals whose value has risen with the use of catalytic converters and the growth in popularity of platinum jewelery.</li>
