STD Car Alarm Lite

A simple car alarm: the remote locks and unlocks the doors

Version: 1.0
DayZ: 1.30
Updated: 23.09.2026
Install: Client + server

Coming soon

Running on our test server. Released once they pass in-game testing.

Overview

You can find a car, fix it and fuel it up. Keeping it until morning is another matter. The mod adds an alarm unit torn out from under someone's dashboard and a remote on a worn key ring: press the button and the doors lock, press it again and they unlock.

The Lite version does only that: it locks, unlocks and chirps back. There is no siren, no engine immobiliser and no flashing lights.

A locked car cannot be opened or entered from outside; from inside the doors open as usual. The unit can be removed with a screwdriver and your own remote, or cut out without one — slower, and the unit comes back damaged.

Features

Two items: the alarm unit (fits any car) and a remote with a key
Installing the unit takes 8 seconds, pairing the remote 3 seconds
Lock and unlock: F next to the car, or hold LMB from up to 30 m away
One chirp to arm, two to disarm, plus an on-screen notice
A locked car cannot be opened from outside; you can always get out from inside, and the cargo stays shut with the doors
Remove the unit with a screwdriver and your own remote (6 s, unit intact) or cut it out without one (40 s, unit damaged)
Works with modded cars that inherit from vanilla CarScript
State is kept in an external ledger and survives restarts; the car save stream is untouched
English and Russian
