i just bought an alarm

*edit* brand Invincible Super Duper unstealable car security system

details: under car flame thrower function

its a simple shock sensor alarm with all the standard gizmo stuff with remote engine starter

questions:

-how much am i looking at in getting it installed?

-it has central looking system, and looking at my skyline, the central locking only locks the passenger side, not the driver side. is there a way i can work around this or do i have to buy that crap that makes both doors look

-do i have any chance in doing this myself with little electronic knowledge....haha

and yes im poor, i want to find cheapest solution

but it looks like its gonna be expensive

any help appreciated.

for the passenger side you can just get another motor fitted replace the one that is currently in there. These motors arent to expensive but i would buy one through the place you get it fitted at as ive had 2 motors replaced since my alarm installation. I'm happy to say they were covered by warranty. central locking motors are bitches and sometimes break as most of them have plastic cogs

No probs with mine.. had to adjust it up a couple of times but otherwise fine.

So you have to actually use the key to unlock the drivers side? hmmm, doesn't that spoil the point of a remote immoboliser thingo dingo? I think it can be done by yourself or with some help - the main thing is just to find all the points you need to wire into. If its not skyline specific can be difficult.

Some will require pulling the door trims off, some the steering wheel guard cover, and some stuff routed thru into the engine bay for things like the alarm siren, etc.

This alarm will protect your car well because got a full sensors to protect body, windows and doors (Connected to door switch)

i still luv this engrish! :P

okay - i would say if there is already an alarm in there its going to have to be removed... then the install, which can take a bit of time with things like remote start.

I would say your looking at around $180 including door motors etc. Just a guess tho. Dont forget most these guys charge by the hour and something like this will take maybe 4hours...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
