how does exactly the gms module work? lik i noe that it uses a sim card. but do we hav to recharge it wif credit or is there a monthly payment to be made...? wots the go?

when I do them I tell the customer to get a red sim (vodaphone.) and set a lower limit on it. when the card credit drops to $5 it debtis the credit card they have. most start with $30 or so. bearing in mind that every SMS send costs you. so if you have a unit that reports EVERYTHING about your car to you it will take 10-20 SMS messages to do it.

I'm guessing it's this device they are mentioning

Looks like you just need to top up the SIM when needed.

thats one of them. autowatch CATE and Directed GiSMo ar teh two others.

Hey buddy,

Yeah go the mongoose, I got talked out of the Viper because the bloke at the shop i went to (styln in melbourne) said that its a much better unit and is harder to bypass, but it all depends on the quality of the install, mine cost me about 490 ish,

Very good and no probs and i've had it for almost a year, good luck with it all,

Regards Sean'O

so all it is wif a gsm unit. u buy credit for it and recharge it. and it sends u sms's to ur fone and u can send sms to the gsm unit. once it runs outta credit u recharge it wif credit? is it a safe system? wot if other ppl sends sms's to the gsm unit?

Its locked to your phone. so no one else can send messages to it. depending on the unit it will send sms only or you can send sms to it ad have it do things. I have one customer that has a failsafe lockout system (if he locks the keys in the car he can open it with his phone.) off one of these units.

ive got a mongoose M80s which is the 2nd highest i think. its seems like a good alarm system. the only problem i have with it is the auto immobilise after 30secs and there isnt any valet option or anything where i can turn it off that i can see.

hey just to let u know u can turn off the auto arming function on your m80 but this feature is needed 4 insurance reasons

yep you can but its not a publicly known fact. turning it off in some cases voids your insurance.

www.stylyn.com is what you are after. see ketih in boronia and mention me.

Ahh,

Sorry about the late reply, yep thats the website above, just drop in for a quote, very nice people and they don't stuff ya around.

like I said my system works very well and its up to Australian standard etc etc, plus they told me about "lesser" systems to save me hassles instead of just filling their book like many other places would,

cheers,

Sean

Mongoose M80 would be my pick too, installed properly. Auto arming gives me the shits to this day lol anyone know how to disable that

gengis,

fire me a pm with the alrm type and I'll see if I can help you.

hi guys, just wondering if viper has a site

ive been offered a viper remote start i think the 791 model brand new..

now i have read about mongoose. im starting to think if that might be better option

also another quick question, whats the difference between a 1way and 2way alarm?

cheers

1 way means that you send a command to the alarm (on/off)

2way means it sends it back.

keep your line of thinking. the 791 has its place in the market (just not on a skyline :( )

    • 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.
