    i am wondering if my car has an alarm or not.

    behind the radio there is a red light that flashes and on the windows are a sticker that says the car is guarded with autogaurd.

    does the alarm activate when radio is taken out or whats the story?

    thanks.

    Open the window, close the door, lock the car. Open car through window. You'll soon find out

    Unless you have a remote control or keyfob for it its unlikely that it'd work.

    Are you driving a Nissan, as in Nissan Anti Theft System? There should also be an alarm sounder somewhere in the engine bay. Or maybe you just have an immobiliser?

    Did the same on mine and found out ive a silent alarm. Or at least that's the "feature" the garage I got it off is telling me I have.
