i've got one of these alarms installed and want to know how to reprogram the audible sound it makes when you set the alarm. basically i want it not to beep when i arm it. i live in a group of villas and my neighbours have complained numerous times now about when i get home late at night night and lock the car. as anyone who has one would know its quite loud.

im hopping its just a sequence of button presses or something as i've had the unit apart and found there are no jumpers or setting controls except a variable resistor onboard.

the local audio shop wants $44 plus an hourly rate to reprogram the unit.. but im sure it would only take a minute or 2 to do...

help please anyone?

if anyone else is interested i found instructions on how to do this on another forum:

let the car immobalise itself, then turn the key in the ignition, you should now see the red LED stay on. now turn the ignition back off and the light will flash.....you must count the flashes to enter the code....the code is : 1,2,3,8,8.

i.e

1. ignition on to see red LED stay on

2.ignition off

3.count 1 flash

4.ignition back on

5.igntion off

6.count 2 flashes

7.igntion on

8.igntion off

9.count 3 flashes

10. igntion on

11.ignition off

12.count 8 flashes

13.ignition on

14.ignition off

15.count 8 flashes

the alarm will beep to let you know the code has worked.

How safe is the area? Be easier just to use the keys to lock it

ok, here's the deal, if you could find the alarm box and remove so could a thief, so to fix you car, take it somewhere that specialises in alarms and security, not the dodgy $44 p/hour place, a good installer is worth much more than that, and then, get it rewired and re programmed with the box hidden.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
