I have had a code pad in my car for 4 years,

I cannot fault the security it provides, and the fact you have to type in the code everytime is not annoying,

as it is peace of mind.

Highly recommend getting one,

Try true blue alarms

the ones ive read about use the exisiting one.

Just works together with the alarm.

SO im guessing pressing the remote turns off the alarm, sensors and imb. However if you turn on the car without entering in the keypad after i think 5 seconds the car will stall out.

But im sure theres many ways of doing it. For example making the keypad responsible for turning of the imb. So u dont enter in the code the car wont start.

Im pretty sure i saw a link to buying these things... ill try and find it. If i can ill edit this post and put the link.

EDIT: Yep im cool! i found it. Cost 125!. This one looks like it comes with its own imb. circuit. and they are quoting 60 dollars to install... too bad there over east... Group buy anyone? ;)

A quick explanation....

This system will work with any vehicle, any alarm, even vehicles with turbo timers!!!

Basically the system will automatically arm 1 min after the ignition is switched off.

You can also have it set up for Anti-Hyjack mode where if you open the drivers door (even if the cars running) if you do not enter the pin number within 5 mins it will kick the immobiliser in and shut down the car. So if someone pulls you out of the car and drives off, they will only get as far as 5 mins down the road and then they will not be able to start the car again unless they have your pin number B) which is pretty dam cool.

Yea i currently have the Autowatch Alarm system with Immobiliser, motion sensor, etc etc, So How much does it Cost to get one, have it installed, were is it to be located? and where can i get this done :( kthnxbai

Got mine done thru San Diablo alarms but i think he's sold his business already. It's a backyard job so wouldn't really recommend. Guy never fixed an alarm for a R34 Series 2 and blamed my car was a bitch to install - pfffttttt talk about professionalism. Took longer than expected and he overcharged me as well.

Would advise you guys to heard to Alberts Myaree. Went to there to sort out a initial wiring problem from the first installation. Forgotten the guy's name but the guy who attended to me is the only alarm specialist there and he knows his shit !!

Total for the alarm, sensors, keypad and boot release comes from the first install to approx $650 if i'm not mistaken. Had to spend another $80 4 months later to replace a module - the San Diablo guy installed the module where rain water will run thru hence it started to give out false alarm (wat a noob !!)

Having said that, if you already have an autowatch alarm adding the keypad will prob. be less than $200. Just ask around.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
