I have a digital autowatch alarm on my car and apparently you can hook up all sorts of crap to it....

i have a spare button and i want to hook up an engine start onto it and on the other button which currently locks the doors and arms the alarm...i want it to put the windows up at the same time...

apparently this can all happen....but who do i get to do it??

or is it fairly simple...and i can do it myself....anyone else had this done?

by the way i know the start feature is illegal, but as i only drive on closed circuit roads and race tracks then it doesnt matter :P

yeah fane, i know a guy who installs autowatch systems and he can wire up all the above that you mentioned. and more.

only downside he is in wangara. but WELL worth a nice 40 min drive to do it i rekon. Im not sure if u could do it yourself. i think its a lil more complex. but yeah he can make it so when alarm is activated the windows will go up. he can make it so when you start the car by remote it will put windows down etc. (if i remember right...)

but yeah.

pretty fancy stuff he can do with it... (he has his autowatch in his car hooked up to a mobile phone, so he can call his car and arm it over the phone, he has done many mad things with his alarm system.)

bad news, but apparently you can only get the start feature on an auto car. :)

i still want the windows to go up when i lock it tho i'll have to take it up and show the guy....i think autoworx put in the alarm i'll give them a ring aswell and ill give you an update cam... :P if anyone knows of anyone with the start feature on a manual let me know :)

thats what i thought... but he said nah you cant do it on a manual...and i said ohhh ok crap and he goes ohhh well we will have a look at it.... if it wasnt all the way in wangara it would be different...

i'll be able to find someone that will able to do it for me surely... :P

Woohoo! sucked in Manual boys :P sorry been waiting for something cool you can do with an auto car you cant do with a manual!

and they said the window lift hook up is $125, and he wont hook up the remote start because its illegal anyone know of any other places that may do it?

but at least i know where i can get the window lift hooked up... :P awesome!!

I saw a place called "Downunder Mufflers" on the corner of Scarb Bch Rd and Loftus St that has an Autowatch dealer sign out the front. These guys used to do a heap of compliancing work and specialise in imported cars apparently.

I was gonna take my Autowatch to em coz my central locking has never worked since I picked the car up and I never whinged at the time... silly me.

We at Action Alarms situated in Osborne Park are Autowatch dealers and can do the power window lift for you. $125 for the job is a very good price too, so I wouldn't want to better it.

Remote start is possible, but illegal! Is your car road registered? If not we might have a look at it.

Operating the alarm by mobile phone and or being called by your car if the system is triggered etc is also possible but not cheap. The pager option is a bit more affordable, but not as cool.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
