Sorry to hear that mate. I always thought this guy was a bit suspicious. No trader rating & location, and he put up a popular item for sale soon after he opened his account in December '08. I contacted him a couple of times and he seemed dodgy. He probably never really responded to requests for local pick-ups, and perhaps he always told people that he wasn't local (different locations to theirs everytime).

The new unit should now cost around $365, more or less depending on the exchange rate at the time. PM if interested please, and then I'll organise it for you. Cheers

I have a newer & better version now (photo attached, also available in black) with 3 +/- inputs for car alarm alerts/triggers and 1 output with a relay for remote immobilisation as well as GPS last position feature in case it loses the GPS signal (eg. if taken inside a deep underground carpark it will give you the GPS coordinates of the carpark's entrance). As usual, the unit and all the external antennas can be hidden under pretty much anything in your car since they do not need any direct view of the sky. There's also another type of unit going around which I would not recommend - the all-in-one GPS GSM alarm unit with remotes, this sort of unit is more common and older. It's an all in one car security system without 2/3 point immobilisers (it only has 1 relay that won't even get activated when you press the remote), no all black wiring and/or other features, the security measures are poor and do not meet any standards for a car alarm system. So I decided to get a decent approved car alarm system such as Mongoose m80s that has 3-point immobilisers, all black wiring, code-hopping remotes and other features that meet Australian standards and then added the tracker with its alert features on it. Much better package this way. If I used this all-in-one car alarm system, I wouldn't be able to install a proper and proven car alarm system from a known brand. There's also a cheaper unit with a weaker and less sensitive internal GPS antenna built-in.

Just letting everyone know that due to the falling Australian dollar, the price will have to increase accordingly (probably around 25% to 30% more at the moment). Please PM me if anyone is still interested.

He knew that already. Didn't you notice that he plagiarised that thread?

You're welcome

It should if you can enter the GPS coordinates manually on those phones the same way as you do on online maps such as Google Maps/Earth. You may want to check if your phone has this 'manual-entry' function.

The manufacturer claims the back-up battery will last for 48 hours if the main power to the unit is cut. I have never tested it myself, I can't really say for sure if it's accurate. The unit will alert you after 3 seconds if the main power is cut or if your battery dies anyway. The unit still works (all GPS, GSM & GPRS) even though it's well hidden in my car inside my full-brick lock-up garage.

Yes, it's still available. The group buy has been going very slow though

Still on.....

Sorry, wrong thread

It doesn't consume anymore power than the average full alarm system.

Still going...

I have used J-Spec a couple of times in the past, and Craig & Ben were patient with the time that I took to find the cars since I was strictly sticking to my budgets. I was aware of what the cars were worth in Japan and I also knew that I paid the actual FOB costs (without or very minimal mark-up at the most). Most dealers who import & comply the car for you will mark-up the price even before it gets here (plus the compliance cost). The least you can do is ask them (dealers) to provide you with the auction sheet (with the auction number) and the original dereg. paper (to make sure it wasn't stolen and verify the milage to some extent). If you've bought the car, try contacting J-Spec with the auction sheet number and they can probably tell you whether or not you paid the actual FOB price. The good thing about getting the car through the workshop or dealer/workshop who imports the car for you is probably the convenience. They USUALLY feel more obliged to comply the car without too much fuss since it was them the one who found it for you in Japan. But you do generally have to pay more 'hidden' costs/mark-up's. Another option is contacting the local Japanese agents who attend the auctions directly. I won't go into detail regarding this here.
