I set it to auto and it doesn't change. It doesn't even change if I touch the icon that manually changes it.

Update.

The police said there were 11 break-ins that same night. They believe they were kids and they were on foot. I'm now more hopeful that they'll be caught. Kids like to talk about their escapades.

Even if the car did have an alarm... I dunno where you live, but if you have a car alarm here and it goes off when they're trying to jack your stuff, they'll just smash up your car completely to "teach you a lesson".

 

That does suck a lot though.

Here's the kicker. We live in a nice neighborhood and the car was in our driveway. So, I guess it's more than losing a stereo. I feel violated.

That really SUCKS! I'm about to put a new alarm on my F150, don't really trust the factory one that much...

 

Sorry to hear about your car and system...

Apparently, most factory alarms only go off if a door is opened. I guess they're designed to protect from the actual vehicle being stolen. You need something that has a shock sensor that'll set the alarm off if a window is broken.

Well, it happened. Some time last night someone broke in to my wife's vehicle and stole our F90BT. I was hoping that I'd, at least, have the satisfaction the unit wouldn't work for the new owners. But, apparently that's not the case with this unit. Here's a tip for anyone buying this or any other expensive stereo. 1. "The factory alarm IS NOT enough!" We have a SAAB 9-7X and they broke both driver side windows, climbed in the rear window and ripped out the entire dash to get the stereo. Anyway. I needed to vent.
