Car Alarm Help: Auto Watch

[fane]

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

[caminperth]

I'd be interested in the autostart module too.. cool thing to have and good for cranking the aircon so the car is cool before you get to it...

mostly just a cool thing to have..

[fane]

yes it is warmed up engine plus a cool inside is always a good thing before you take off down the road... hope someone here knows something about it....

[MirKz]

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.)

[fane]

awesome can you gimme his details and i will contact him on getting it done...

[fane]

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... if anyone knows of anyone with the start feature on a manual let me know

[MirKz]

damn thats a shame then.

ya did ring shaun didnt ya ?

i know he has told me the same thing before, but i thought it would be okay with manual turbos cus of the turbo timers etc. (and having to leave the car in neutral.)

[fane]

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...

[CasserlyR33]

Car im looking to buy in VIC is manual and the chap selling it reckons its got remote start??

[fane]

awesome...that makes me feel better

[caminperth]

Fane - What sort of $ was he talking to do the remote start?

[3R1K]

If someone can do what you just mentioned count me in and bring me to the guy that can do it

[fane]

any updates i'll post here...

anyone know how i can find out the model of my autowatch alarm? anywhere i can look...?

they are pretty good alarms and i cant find the actual control unit without spending more than 20mins...its up behind the dash somewhere i think...

[Nizmo]

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

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

I need an alarm system put in mine ..... and i love buttons n gadgets etc .... so anybody know about how much these systems retail for?

Mirkz: I'd be interested in setting up my Autowatch alarm so I can call my car if it gets stolen, can I get your mates details in Wangara so I can give him a call?

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... awesome!!

[red17]

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.

9242 4000 if you like,

[uneekwahn]

Norbert, does that mean you'll do the power window lift for $125?

I'll probably give you a call tomorrow to discuss further details about the mobile phone setup

Jason.
