Very curious... :stupid:

How much protection does a "3 point immobiliser" give?

What factors influence how "good" an security system is?

I regularly see Viper, Cobra, Mongoose (and other animals) alarms advertised... Surely with them being so readily available, theives can work out how to bypass them pretty easily (i.e. look at instalation guide)... Is this the case?

Would appreciate comments installers/ those with technical knowledge of these systems.

Cheers.

the more points the better, what it means that it cuts the signal at three different places that are vital top starting the car. I consider a 2way paging alarm essential these days as it tells you when your alarm goes off. Also the more you pay generally the more sensors you get. Another thing is things like code hopping which means its a million times harder for theives to use radio frequency devices to open your car. Black wiring is something that insurance companys like and generally is a good idea but in saying that if you get your alarm install by someone good then you shouldnt be able to find any wires without having to take half the car apart. I hope that i have given you an insight into whats importatant in an alarm.

yeah three points is very good :thumbsup: classed as a 5-star i think(top of the line)

although i think 4point alarms are coming out

3 point is generally: fuelpump, ignition and starter

Although, bear in mind, most people won't bother screwing with an alarm, they'll just put it on a tow truck, its happened to a few of my friends cars and no one took down the number plate of the tow truck, because it looked like a simple parking violation

as for looking at the installation guide - the wires are black on most 3 point alarms, so i doubt they'd be able to bypass them that fast :thumbsup: it'd take them at least a few minutes or more to do it, probably rip out the membrane and bridge the wires, they'd need a wiring diagram for the car too in that case though and most thieves are after just a quick snatch and grab - :thumbsup: i hate thieves!!!

Realistically, if a professional theive wants your car he'll take it, but the basic 3 point immobiliser will work as well as the person who fitted it.

The theive will automatically go for under the dash, if all the wires are exposed and he can easilly find the unit then your in a bit of trouble, thats when experienced fitters will make everything look standard and hidden to make it harder.

You will also want a backup battery siren thats nicely hidden so they don't just jam a cordless drill through it and shut it up (which i've seen happen before)

But a normal immobiliser/ alarm unit will deter the odd f**kwit that tries to break into your car.

Never tell people or have a sticker on your car showing what the unit is.

Hope this helps... good luck :thumbsup:

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
