Hi, just wondering what sort of alarm i can get....i currently have a mongoose mx40ii, but there is no siren. And with the current break-ins into vehicles, it doesn't matter what you drive now, they will just smash your window to get the shit inside.

Now i think that my current alarm does not have sensors to detect, if some hits my car or breaks in, so i'm shopping for one that will....

I would prefer to keep it mongoose as I've heard good things about them, but the main thing in an alarm that i ask for (besides doing what an alarm does) is for it to engage itself with me having to use the remote.

Currently i lock my car with my key, walk away while it is still running, and about 20seconds after the turbo timer drops out and the car turns off, my indicators flash arming the immobilizer.

Also when buying an alarm system are there instructions in the box to show how to install....Some people might say just take it to a professional, but it is something that i would love to do myself, not only to my car, but others.

I have a Viper alarm which was cheap and does everything I need.

Remote locking, immobilizer, siren, sensors on boot and hood, sonic sensors (or whatever they are), two flashing lights (one which is actually suck to the window and lights up with the brand name) plus a bagillion on and one different ways to program it. I haven't mucked around with it completely, but the option is there.

Cost me $500 including installation around... 6 months ago.

if you want to keep it mongoose get the m80g its got everything you want

I was looking at the m80g, the only thing i don't want to do is to hang around and wait for the turbo timer to shut off before engaging the alarm, i think they are only $250 on Ebay delivered.

you don't have to hang around for the turbo timer to shut off. you use the alarm the same way on any car.

what this alarms does turns all the alarm sensors on like normal but doesn't turn the immoboliser on til the turbo timer turns off.

thing to remember about car alarms, is that if you have your car comp insured, then get it installed by an actual technician, as it will lower your insurance costs for having it.

also, what model viper alarm do you have KezR33 ? looking at getting one myself and sounds like all the features i'm after.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
