Improvement suggestions
Hiya! I like this mod a lot. Although I'd say it could be made even cooler! I was thinking about making it similar to the SCars car key. You know, so you could lock/unlock your vehicle remotely, and not only from the close proximity of your car. Also, it would be nicer if the hazard lights would flash on vehicle lock/unlock, and the "blip blip" sound would also be played for unlocking. And a little detail, would it be possible to actually trigger the vehicle's own horn, so that the alarm would sound the actual vehicle's horn instead of the pre-recorded one? Sounds a bit weird when my truck only goes like "beep beep".

Thanks, I'll take this all into consideration when making the next release! :D

I do have a few questions though,
- How would you suggest specify which of your owned vehicles gets locked/unlocked remotely?
- As for the car's own horn, I could do that. However, not all cars in the game have horns by default. I could try make an exception or some sort of check to see if a car has a horn, for those ones though.

I believe the way it worked with the SCars key was that you still had to look at your car in order to lock/unlock. Also for vehicles without a horn, the alarm would still be playing. Although it would be cool if it was configurable, so that you could choose if you want to play only the alarm or horn or both. Though I'm not sure how that could be set up. Maybe a pop-up window when you set ownership of your car?

Idea: The ability to change the sound of a car's alarm with the simfphys sound editor menu, and maybe a custom tool for SCars. for example, changing the default car alarm sound to a L4D car alarm sound on a l4d simfphys car.

Yeah sorry, I just don't really have time or motivation anymore. I might come back to it one day in the future.
