The supply and siren trigger would connect to the same place as the shock sensor. The microphone could be installed behind the rear view mirror to make it look discreet.

Exactly, just need to work out how to connect it lol

Shortie, I was actually thinking of glass break sensor.
I am just wondering, if somebody smashes the window then would that not trigger the shock sensor?
Also with intrusion sensor fitted appropriately, would that not trigger the alarm?
I liked the idea of adding this as well.

I have watched videos where they take 3 or 4 attempts to break the glass, and it would 100% trigger the sensor. However, more recently, i have seen the spring loaded glass breaker, with it being a high powered pin i was just questioning if it would produce enough of a shock or if it will simply shatter immediately.
The proximity sensor would definitely trigger it, maybe im just thinking OTT lol

I went with proximity and shock sensor. I didnt go for the glass sensor at the time but i am now thinking of incorporating it.

Just like an old fashioned cut of switch. Something worth considering if your skilled enough. For me though, 1 alarm fob deactivates the alarm, i then remove my big steering wheel lock (i know not to everyones taste lol). I dont think i would want to look for the switch as well lol
