Hey guys.

Looking at a security system for my skyline.

Tossing up between Viper and QuickTrak.

I want something that calls/sms me when there is movement with the car.

And satelite tracking.

Anyone know which ones are good and how much and where i can get these from?

Cheers.

Viper = crap and illegal so that means insured car = un-insured!

Quiktrack good .. expensive tho

Autowatch 854i good one :banana: Im pretty sure Mr Rogers will agree its a winner with built in turbo timer .. but quik track has sat tracking .. Only a addon on autowatch :worship:

They are licensed qualified installers who can most likely install something that will be covered by insurance.

If you need an immobiliser for insurance, it's best to first ask your insurer what they require, as some insurance agencies may have different requirements. At the minimum it would be an Australian Standards approved immobiliser, which they can definitely do. Then talk to your alarm installer and tell them what your requirements are, and they can assist you.

Recommend the Autowatch 456 or as its now known as the 446premium insurance approved with certificate immobiliser/alarm/turbo timer and can do antihijack intergration will communicate with the CATE 800 GSM paging alarm and can also give you tracking for the price of paging it seems everything your looking for is right here, at a reasonable price too. :P

I read this as:

Autowatch 456 + CATE800

= Paging via GSM(Mobile Phone)

= Tracking also ??? how does this system track your vehicle? It doesnt have a GPS receiver, does it?

The Autocate 800 has 5 digital outputs, which could be used to remotely sound the horn, shut down the engine, etc.

trav,

he does Q'trak as well. that is the tracking side of his reply. that said if you want GSM paging / location for cheap then DEI do one.

CATE is purely an alert device nothing else.

depends on the model. if you are talking about hte old 791 and it was fully fitted then it was illegal to use half of it.

ones like the 460/480 are a different matter.

either way I wold do the autowatch and be done with it..

Are there any differences between the 456 and 446premium? Or is it a simple name change?

A few changes have been made, these are, new look remotes that use a differant language to communicate to the alarm, a few software changes to accomodate the next generation sirens (coming soon), more progammable features, and they can now be prgrammed to receive signals from Autowatch wireless PIR sensors (found in home alarms) to set your car alarm off if someone walks into your garage or carport etc. Also wireless engine immobiliser relays are coming soon! Beat That Viper!

Security In Motion and Autowatch..........NO ONE DARES COME CLOSE!

If you use a Telstra SIM card with the CATE 800 paging alarm all you need to do is register with a website called www.gofinder.net I think its about $30 for 30 views and when CATE sends you alarm message or anytime you want you go back to the website and you can track your vehicle to within a 40m radius. It basically tracks the SIM card whether its in a phone or a car alarm. Designed for men to track where there wives have gotten to I think, or the other way around lol :cool:

trav,

It doesnt only alert,it can do same as Quiktrak only cheaper and you monitor car yourself, you can lock/unlock doors via sms, you can shut off fuel supply with its own immobiliser or sound horn or off smoke bomb inside car like they do in the country where it is designed South Africa. Did a Chopper monster bike with it, customer called me back and said his wife tracked him on the Princess Hwy instead of the Pacific Hwy where he told her he was going, he got busted, lol. Try fit a Quiktrak on a motorcycle, without using a box trailor anf that will impress me. :cool:

    • 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"
