Security - Aftermarket Alarm advice

This may have been posted elsewhere but struggling to search efficiently on my phone, so apologies.

I’m curious which alarm &/or central locking system people may have installed on their defender and which they would recommend. It’s getting a bit cold to put the dog in it!

I haven't got one, but I like the idea of the GPS, tracker, disable devices you can get.
Like this one ... there are other makes ... https://www.finditstopit.com/

I have fitted a couple of these https://www.toadalarm.com/product/sterling-excel-immobiliser/ they are very effective and would take some time to bypass.
There is a wire loop fitted behind the plastic surrounding the ignition that you hold a fob against which allows you to start the car. Essentially it is a relay on the cuttoff switch and a couple of other components in the starting/ignition system.
Essentially it's a box fitted/hidden behind the clocks with about 10, identical, black wires, you'd really need to know a lot about car electronics to disable/bypass it.
Some have a relay that when tamprered with sounds the horn (or similar device)...

Thanks Miktdish, the finditstopit devise looks interesting, seems pretty cheap at £59 compared to a regular tracker - anyone got any experience of it? Wondering if it is recognised by insurers?
