Hi,

I know I've posted this before but things have probably changed in the past 6 months, I've had a look at this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry3155248

And noticed there are some new GPS tracked alarm systems around.

I'm currently deciding whether to go with QuikTrak, or go down the route of a cheaper GPS alarm system that calls me when somethings wrong.

What GPS tracked alarm systems are around these days with the paging option?

(I'm going quiktrak if the insurance company gives me a decent discount :)).

Also if you know good Melbourne based installers to talk to about the products that would be great.

Regards,

Gareth

you can try a Python or a Viper alarms then add a gps/gsm module to the alarm. The module will sms your phone if the alarm is triggered, you can also track your car via sat. Try the Directed website.

You can also ring Zylux about the Quiktrak they can help you with it.

Mongoose sells a SMS module which hooks up to your mongoose alarm.

Although the price of alarm + mongoose sms module equals the same as quiktrack installation (although you dont pay $300 per year with pager)

it doesnt do a lot though. the DEI one does tracking via website for a few hundred more and you can control things on the car via SMS. I prefer these units over the mongoose one. they are also locally built. the mongoose one isn't.

Interesting, Mongoose is a well known brand but close to quiktrak price is expensive although the savings on the monitoring will be nice :cool:

Autowatch was recommended in another thread, does anyone know much about them?

I haven't heard good things about viper so far...

Do DEI have a website?

I found some results in google but I may be looking at the wrong website.

Hi,

Tried STI electronics but only found a soldering company.

I've found this website:

http://www.directed.com/Products/Security/Default.aspx#

DEI appears to be a group of companies marketed under multiple brand names so I'm confused what people are referring to as "DEI".

Is there a particular model?

EDIT: just read the site and looks like there is one model called the 210C in the different brands, its roughly $100/year to gets the sms's and everything. It looks like all there brands are selling the same product for GPS tracking :)

Or would you recommend the Autowatch 456 + CATE800 solution?

Regards,

Gareth

thats the US based one. its not there. give me an email addy and I'll send you the literature on it. there is a LOT of DEI gear that is made locally that is NOT listed there.

to me the DEI solution is easier to implement but the CATE is more secure. there is a newer version of it due soon that drops a few things off but fucntionality is the same.

this is the STI site for GPS position.

I'll have these products listed on the shop site eventually (when time permits.)

Sorry to drag up this old thread again, I'm pretty sure I'll be buying the Autowatch 446Premium, just wondering with the above comments when the new version of CATE was getting released?

Otherwise I'll stick with the GiSMo / Directed product that does the SMS/send/control functionality, I just need to find good installers in Victoria.

Regards,

Gareth

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
