Mongoose M80 Series Alarm

[sturb25]

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

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

Solid alarm. Short range on remotes. I would look at the install.

5yr warranty on the unit itself.

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.. (( but nothing stolen ) (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

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