What wires are you looking for? They are under the dash

[Chris Rogers]

not really. for that alarm to be done properly the wires are elsewhere.

I dont think there is a problem with Autobarn selling you the viper alarm, they are a nationwide retailer of viper products and should warranty the product itself - not the installation though, if you do it yourself. If you went for a cheap import off ebay, you wouldnt have any warranty.

Viper is one of the most difficult alarms to fit.

Dont worry about the wiring in ur car, worry about setting up that alarm.

Even a professional who does these day in day out cant do one properly in a day.

But yeah go ahead man im sure the wiring diagrams on the net, will help you understand the installation manual which requires a pilots, engineering and language degree to understand .

[Adelaideprosound]

Yeh the ECU is in the boot, but whether its the correct one or not is a good question .

Id be looking in the kick trim.

Yeah the one in boot is for 4 wheel steering.

The one you are looking for is behind passenger kick panel.

If you do a search for ECU pinout on the net, you should be able to find the wires you are looking for.

Just out of curiousity how much did autobarn quote to fit it?

It may be worth it for the customer suport they will give you if it is difficult to set up.

Good luck

not really. those have are an insurance rated alarm and they have to be fitted a certain way to be compliant.

by rights they should have fitted it.

I was also looking for an ebay link as this is a LOCAL product and I was going to nail a shop for it if it did come off ebay- it didn't.

if you have the unit handy look closely - the wires are VERY long for a reason thats all I'll say.

[dyefuker]

cheers for all the advice, ah lol i thought the ecu was in the boot, all makes sence now, and yeh i can inderstand y i has 2 be installed professionaly, after looking into it i prob will get it done professionaly, i just dont really trust autobarn with my car, its very clean, no rattles or vibrations and with my last car they installed an alarm in i had a rattle in my dash i could never fix or find, i payed 715 for the viper alarm, they quoted i think it was 950 installed. if i was goin to get it professionaly installed id want someone who would do it on the spot, so i could make sure nothing in my cars gona get damaged. if anyone knows an onsite installer in melbourne id love the info, cheers.

would have a chat to stylyn in boronia myself. speak to adam. on site guys could be good or a hack - you really do not know. stylyn I know do good work- part of the reason I refer to them. they do not break things and last I time I was in there he had a E class benz sitting in the shop.

as for price - not bad though I would also look at the GSM pager/tracking option as well. GSX560 (its a DEI product also.) is the part number - autobarn will list it but probably not have it on hand. I have info on it and I'll get it on the shop site shortly when I get a sec.

[Trav33]

I dont trust Autobarn!

I was there today, in a queue, and was listening to one of the guys ringing a customer on the phone. Sounded like he had just installed central locking, and it worked most of the time, but sometimes the doors wouldnt work, not much he could do about it.

Then he asked if the drivers door activated the light before - because it wasnt working now (ie the alarm wouldnt work if someone opened that door!). And then.......

He said 'so that cd player on the seat, was that the one we were meant to install?' and i could hear the customer saying no, and how they were just meant to be installing speakers. From what i heard, i'd never the dorks that worked in that particular store.

lolz another one who dosnt trust them, i dont mind them as a store, but wouldnt ever have them install something in my car, im gona have a crack at installing it this weekend so ill post as 2 how i go.
