I understand that. (bear in mind I fit these for a living.) considering you have 1 point stopping me from taking that car and its on the starter theres not much stopping me. find the relay harnesse short it out and roll start the car - see ya!

man i wonder how many car theives are reading this?

fair few I reckon. what I have said is common knowledge anyway. thats why I keep saying 480XV. very little info on it and it takes a proper installer to correctly fit it. the 791 is all over hte net and you can pull an installation manual off the net easily for it

what are you talking about? the car shuts down if it moves and the key isnt in the ignition.

The other thing to consider is that remote start alarms jsut make the car easier to steal .

Thief finds remote start module, triggers it and car starts..

No need for hot wiring.

It would be like having a guard dog with no teeth.

Mr do it for a living man, do that and ill murder you! Ill look at the alarm you have told me to get, i like how its 2-way thats something i want. Cheers for the info.

to be honest there is a yellow 32 in ipswich that had one of these things fitted. I had to put a stereo in it so I thought I would show the owner how easily it could be disabled. people in the yellow building fitted it. I had the ENTIRE unit out in my hand in 10 sec, the car hot wired , running and the siren screaming in the background . all I had to do was drive off and the owner watched in disgust as I did it.

think its just me that does this - think again. I know of several cars that disappeared like this due to poor alarm choice and VERY poor installation. now what alarm are you looking at again?

not if the module is in my hand.

He didnt know that.

nathan,

I suggest you have a search to work out who I am. I'm actually making you think about your choices :cheers:

I dont need to search who you are i see it in your signature, ive taken your information down i see the viper alarm i wanted is shit for my car and im not buying it. Ill have a look at the alarm you referred to me because as i said it sounds good and 2-way alarm is what i wanted! You guys keep going on about this alarm dude im not buying you had me convinced on the #13 post when i said that im gonna sus out the store when im ready i edit that, maby you didnt see it. Ooh well just bought a new battery for the skyline now next should be the alarm system. Thanks for the information Chris.

Any alarm system will help your car, BUT not any alarm system will give you ultimate protection.

Having said that, you can have the worlds best alarm system, has every single feature known to mankind, but it's useless if the installer is a moron and just shoves everything under the bonnet.

What good is security if someone finds the controlling unit within 30 seconds of looking, sure the siren will be going off, but who bothered looking for "yet another car alarm going off again".

The main part of any alarm system is the actual installation of the car. it's the same story as car audio, if your installation is awesome, you will get the most benifit from the alarm/audio.

I couldn't agree more. People rave on about the importance of black wired alarms when I've seen installs where the installer has just spliced the alarm into the ignition loom right near the key barrel, spliced the door sensor down at the skyline kick panel and spliced the indicators at the back of the fuse box and shoved the alarm unit under the dash.

The colour of wiring doesn't matter here, because the thief doesn't care about your alarm - in fact, it has now become easier to steal, because the thief has now exposed the wires on the ignition loom and they don't even have to be cut anymore. They can just slice off the electrical tape with a razor and use aligator clips.

I ued to love using old Loom wire for my alarm system installs, would convert the alarm lead lines to a certain loom wire, run it into the actual loom, re-wrap the loom so that it looks stock, and at splice points, I would split the normal wire, then place in spliced scrap bits along the way as well, so there would be 3 or 4 spliced sections with some dodgey 'immatation" splices in spots that where more obviously going to be the splicing positions, but they would be nothing but iscolated wire that's not even connected to anything.

I seriously love the installers that attack the ignition barrel about 5 - 10cm from the barrel, this is installer fail number 1, it exposes the wires for the thief to hotwire immediately, no guessing, you have the constant wire, acc and on, simply roll the car and she's going.

I also love the installers that head for the ECU for disable points, how obvious is it when you see a blue with white wire come from ECU, and splice into a black wire, and about 10cm away, a black wire connects to the blue with white wire, guess what, I am sure if you joined the 2 blue and white wires together, you have over-ridden a section of the alarm, and it didn't even take rocket science to work out.

The last installation I did for a friend took almost 2 weeks (Toyota Soarer), we removed the entire dashboard, spliced the alarm system in up under the top of the dash, ran a lot of stuff into and under the centre console, and then from there back to the lower section of the dash, so anyone tracing the flashing red light would find it looks to head to the boot or back of the car.

We connected the relays under the dash, next to stock relays so they look like they belong with the car. We also replaced ALL the relays in the car with brand new, because 3 or 4 black shiny relays next to 5 dull looking relays is a giveaway to which are stock, and which are aftermarket.

There are plenty of other hints for installation of an alarm system, but giving these away, will give away ways to gain unauthorised functions from the vehicle, which would be stupid to put up on a public forum, but escentially, get yourself a good installer for ANY alarm system.

I like the way you think matey. I've done similar installs to what you've done.

One trick that has saved my daily driver is the good old second crappy alarm. I installed my alarm properly in a hidden place. Then, grabbed a rubbish alarm off ebay for like $30. I then installed that second alarm in the really obvious way with splices at the key barrel, etc etc. I installed the siren for the good alarm inside the car, but all the way hidden e.g. I took my dash out and it is all the way up above the air con vents.

you think like I fit.. there's an evo running around victoria done that way. spent 3 days on it.

If I lived nearer Brisbane, I would be coming to you to get an alarm/immobiliser installed in my stagea! Unfortunately I'm in Adelaide... could you make any recommendation(s) about places Down South? I am thinking of ordering a Mongoose M80G (cheap online) and doing the install myself, and thus more 'customised'.

sorry, back on topic...

Chris flys to Adelaide to do installs...

    • 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.
