do u have any for sale for the 295..

also curious how quick it sends u a message after the battery is dsconected.. meaning if u disconnect it for 5 seconds or less and put the power back on would it still sms u..? because i was thinkn u would b able to hook it up to a relay so when ya interiorlight comes on/door opens it will cut power ant send u an sms..

Yes, as mentioned before, you can use this method to trigger the alert. Once the main power gets disconnected for longer than 3 seconds, you will get the alert on your mobile phone. It usually takes around 5 to 8 seconds for you to get the alert from the time the main power is cut off.

Thanks gtr_z, my unit arrived about a week ago, I have just not had a chance to have a 'play' until now... actually got it about 4 or 5 days after paying via online transfer? Pretty quick!

Very impressed so far... comes with an active GPS antenna which even works accurately from inside my house (where other GPS's I've tested - bluetooth PC ones for instance - don't get a reliable signal).

A small caveat, FYI re: SIMs:

You need to disable the PIN code on your SIM, if you have set one whilst it was in a mobile phone, to use with the unit.

Great little device, should work nicely. My backup battery came to me charged and working too - switched it on right out of the box (after connecting antennas of course) :)

just read this for the first time, very interesting.

any idea if it consumes much power while the car is turned off?

as it is my cars battery starts goin a bit flat if i havent driven it for 2 weeks or so.

It doesn't consume anymore power than the average full alarm system.

does anyone know if this has no GPS signal and you SMS it to ask it where it is, will it give you the last known GPS co-ordinate? i read in the details at the top that it will give you the GSM location but this is kinda useless if your in a big city and your car has been stolen and is in some garage somewhere, it would be good if it gave you the last known location then it would make it alot easier to locate?

also how long does the backup battery last for if power is cut to the unit?

The manufacturer claims the back-up battery will last for 48 hours if the main power to the unit is cut. I have never tested it myself, I can't really say for sure if it's accurate. The unit will alert you after 3 seconds if the main power is cut or if your battery dies anyway. The unit still works (all GPS, GSM & GPRS) even though it's well hidden in my car inside my full-brick lock-up garage.

Hi mate, just wondering if you know if this will work with nokia N82/95/96 maps?

It should if you can enter the GPS coordinates manually on those phones the same way as you do on online maps such as Google Maps/Earth. You may want to check if your phone has this 'manual-entry' function.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
