Anti-theft solutions for car audio, GPS, radar detector, etc.?

Yesterday I purchased a GPS and I feel like I need to take some security measures for my car to prevent my electronics from being stolen. Along with the GPS I have an iPod connected to a Harman/Kardon Drive+Play unit, an Escort radar detector, and an older Alpine radio. As it stands, my car is begging for its window to be broken out and have everything stolen.

I have a car alarm, but as everyone knows, they are almost useless.

I could remove every item (radio faceplate, gps, ipod, radar detector) and carry it with me every time I got out of the vehicle, but this is far too much trouble.

Is anyone aware of a security accessory for their auto electronics? I appreciate any help or suggestions.

    stick it in your glove box and lock the door? also they have aftermarket alarms/remote starts that tell you via the remote when the alarm is going off which is a little more useful than flashing lights.

    i have the same problem but when all else fails hang around awhile and carry a big stick.

    i've got have been given one for you, flow get el cheapo vehicle amplifier with provision for line-in, and get your self a pocket MP3 participant. set up your amplifier into the motor vehicle physique someplace, have a mechanic weld a strap over it for you, so which you would be able to not unscrew or unbolt the element, and then run a headphone cable under the carpet up via the shifter or some thing. positioned a cheesy AM radio interior the dashboard, so there is not something truthfully transportable to be tempting to a vehicle thief, and once you get out of the motor vehicle, take your MP3 participant with you. No bait=no theft. that still makes a sturdy case for making use of an older vehicle that may not thief-bait. Lay not up your treasures the place moth and dirt and vehicle thieves doth corrupt...
