Has anyone delt with the "Black Widow" car alarm systems?

First off, are they any good?

I've got a 3 point Car immobilizer installed on my GTS-25T SII and I'm wanting to get a turbo timer installed aswell.

I've been told by the car dealer who I bought the car off it can't be done, I also know you can't trust a car dealer's idea of "It can't be done".

So any help on this matter would be great!

Also, yes I've done a search, I saw a few topics but they didn't really give a solid answer.

i am gonna take a guess at the black widow bw10000, it's 3 point etc and is all black wired.

Of all the dodgy products that the strahtfield chain has sold over the years the BLACK WIDOW alarm systems are very relaible and actually quite good.

( dont let anyone from trashfield near your car to work on it, they will wreck it)

The Black widow 10000 can be integrated to an external turbo timer fairly easily.

If your installer is telling you he cant do it, it just means he is not smart enough, take the car somewhere else.

As a tip, i would recommend a turbo timer with a hand brake safety feature.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
