I dont know how the second one says "actual Size"...when it depens on what res you got on your pc..hehehe its damn big if you got it on 640x480~ hehe

Nah seriously, i'd go the boomerang. Ive got friends that have them, they are good. Only thing i dont like about it, is you got the cables hanging everywhere cuase the sensor has to be some where open...it looks bad...see how you go.

was it done @ Jetspeed?

[dAVE]

reason I am getting it is becuase I think its worth saving the $600, and putting that to something better. Other than that, the boomerang is still a good system - dont know about the wires tho.. must have been a bodgy install

[Leon.T]

man, I am one lost little kid :bonk:

[dAVE]

dude, personally i reckon give it a try. Its cheaper than my black widow cost me and thats a pretty basic system. I just wanna try it becuase an alarm is still an alarm in the end. If it notifies you it does the job.

Also, I cant afford a boomerang anyway!

[Leon.T]

is there warantee on the thing?

Yeah its in a friends car, holden astra, plates - DIGDIS

Jetspeed made the kit and fited the alarm...

cables for the sensor visible, but thats how its spose to be or it wont work properly. I aint knockin jetspeed, they are good.

[dAVE]

beleive its 2years on the parts & the installer should supply a warranty too.

The Benxon alarm looks like a pretty much copy of the Boomerang.

It has 5 buttons though, must mean easier access to options,

where as the boomerang, there are only 3 buttons hence you

must press them a multitude of times to get to the same feature.

Am i just going around in circles?

The Boomerang overall is a pretty niffy peice of hardware i must

admit. It does have the amplifier box which usually is clipped

to those glare flap things which I think is what OOHSAM was

refering to. It's only one cable about 5mm thick and goes behind

your pillar cover. I'd be suprised if the Benxon alarm didn't have

something simular.

The Boomerangs distance can be shorten drastically by concrete

buildings or buildings in general. This has been tried and proven.

I've seen alarms that state the same figures as the Boomerang

but work no where near as good.

I'm not saying the Boomerang is the best alarm, I know there

are better ones out there but for the functionabilty wise vs others

I've seen and trialed it is still ahead. The cost is the only

drawback. I've only tested the Boomerang so I can't comment on

the other one. Wether you choose to wait or spend more is up to

you.

Just thought i'd put my 2 cents worth with my experiences.

Not wanting to rain on the parade guys but I dont think its a good move to discuss what alarms you all have/are buying especially where you have mentioned the rego of the vehicle concerned on this forum.

Just a thought
