Adelaideprosound Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Oh please dont go to EBAY to buy a VIPER. Just do a search on here we have discussed this before. They are B stock and they require a specialised programmer to set them up. $180 wont even cover me opening the package and reading the instructions, im sorry to say. Alarms have to be fitted properly because they can kill you or someone else if they malfunction.

Nightcrawler Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I bought a Viper setup with all the trimmings from GK Technology on nissansilvia.com .... had Mike install it (same guy that did Vange's and Luke's) - can't remember the business name but they are next to Morpowa at Modbury Heights. Great alarm and great fitting job. He does top notch stereos etc too incl. custom fibreglass pods, bays, boots and anything else you care to want.

Adelaideprosound Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) Yes John Phillips is his name. The reason im cynical MADAZ is because i have done one and dont ever want to see another one here again. Viper doesnt offer much in the way security but really more so wank features. Its got LCD and remote start. Its non AUS Standards approved and it isnt insurance approved, (Single immobiliser via an external relay). If thats the way you want to go thats fine, but im sure Chris Rogers who does alarms day in and day out Brisbane, who is also a member here will tell you the same thing. But yeah John Phillips is definitely a good bloke if you see him tell him George from Adelaide Pro Sound said hallo.

Nightcrawler Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 ah yeah sorry John, not Mike my mistake. Good bloke. cheap prices and he put in 4 way immobiliser which my insurance company was most impressed with. They know the model etc of the alarm and are 100% fine with it, especially since it has the 4 immobiliser points and hidden kill/start switch Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158721-security/#findComment-2949631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaz Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 whos your insurance with Andrew, from memory i asked mine what AS standard does my alarm have to conform to and they basically said so long as it has 2x imobiliser points its all good im with Famous insurance will ring them again to find out more information Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158721-security/#findComment-2949645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelaideprosound Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Viper is only single point not dual and it has remote start which is illegal. So really its up to you guys, which way you want to go with alarms. At the end of the a Viper at $380 plus $180 fitting is still $560 for an alarm with no real local warranty. For $500 installed you can get an Autowatch 160Rli with black wired, AUS and NZ Standards approved, twin immobiliser built in, large battery back up siren, doors, boot and bonnet protection and also a dual stage shock sensor. Alarm comes with 2 year warranty on the product, and lifetime on the installation. You guys make up your mind which way you want to go.

Nightcrawler Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm with Just Cars and told them about the remote start etc and they were fine. You can put as many immobiliser points onto the Viper alarm using relays.

KISIN Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Yeh, im mainly worried about the insurance aspect of it. I should give them a call as well and see what they say about this particular Viper alarm.

Adelaideprosound Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Yes Nightcrawler you can, but if you knew how a relay works when its NORMALLY OPEN it will suck a fair amount of juice from the battery to keep the circuit going. I remember years ago i did a couple with 3 relays on board that needed to be energised at all time to be OPEN CIRCUIT, and guess what the next morning the battery was DEAD. Hence why i choose alarms with built in relays because they draw less current. Each to their own i guess.

Adelaideprosound Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Oh and remote start is illegal in Australia. It comes stamped on the box if you buy a product thru the proper channels.

Nightcrawler Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 cool, thanks for the info prosound. Oh and remote start is illegal in Australia. - haha yeah and so is speeding, burnouts, drifting etc etc I just don't get why remote start is illegal - the engine stops if the brake pedal is touched or the handbrake released so it's not a safety issue. And the car has to be in Park with Handbrake on for it to start, so is not a starting safety issue.
