Re:UAE - no surprise (Score 1)

I think the type of alarm is dependant on the manufacturer of the car - my Jeep doesn't have one at all. I also nip around in a convertible sometimes and haven't heard the external noise you refer to. Or no-one is speeding on the Sheikh Zayed Road. Not sure where you were but quite a few bars have dish-dashes in there with a pint in front of them.
