I got my Mongoose M80 S alarm installed in my stagea on the monday just gone. Im having a few issues with it, for starters the auto elec that installed it couldnt get the built in turbo timer to work, which i said i would take it back to them to get it sorted next monday.. That may only be a wiring issue on there behalf!!! Hope it is

The other issue that i didnt know was an issue till i got it home was im having some problems with the range in the remote control in that ive got to be right next to the car for it to be able to arm, disarm the alarm and it cant be in my pocket. Sometimes it doesnt even work. I press and press and press the button but it does nothing. It should have more range than that surely and it should work regardless.

I guess im wondering if anyone has had the same problem as im having and if you have any suggestions that i can try about the range before it goes back to the auto elec..

Thanks

Stu

My mate has the M80 on his S14

Wont work unless you are within ~1 metre of the car

You have to push the remote real hard for it to register open/close

He doesnt have turbo timer connected - he said something about the harness being weak or along those line...

Hope that helps

i have a m80g . its mint as . had it for 2 years and both remotes work from 20+m . only thing is the twat that wired it hasnt wired the boot to anything . can arm and disarm it with boot open . and i cant get it to go to silent mode . as in nop bleep bleep when you arm and disarm . just want it to flash indicators

beware the dodgy auto elec, there must be hundreds of them out there, so many people have trouble with there alarms/immobilizers being fitted to there imports, what is with these guys they see your car and say "oh no not an import", for christ sake it's just another car, obvious advice source a reputable operator, good luck.

+1 for Mongoose m80g

works perfectly, even scared off a would be break in...... 600$ damage to tailgate.. :wacko:(( but nothing stolen :D) (not that there was anything in it anyway)

silent mode, just press the other button on the remote and then press the arm / disarm, and it does it silently..

i don't normally use silent, cos i want people to know it has an alarm. i.e. don't even think about it

turbo timer also works fine :D

got it done at complete options, clayton south in Melbourne!, they know imports well.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
