Just A Question Regarding Alarms And Sound System.

[mr.squint]

Hi this might be a dum question but i've searched the forum and cannot find a definite answer. I just recently purchased a R34 GTT and the car being so old needs a new alarm, got a full sound system and an alarm as a gift but its purchased in my home country and not in aus so would i still be able to find a licensed installer to install the alarm? Its a viper so i'm not sure if anyone will do it as its not purchased in melb. Thanks in advance for all the help.

Tintacar sell viper alarm systems so they might install it, plus any electrician should do the job quiestion is does ur new head unit pick up our aus fm am radio signals because I thought overseas don't

Depending on the model, the alarm might not be ADR approved or whatever the legal business is.

Therefore meaning it is useless and will not count for insurance.

Insurance will be near on impossible without one due to costs, so get that looked into first would be a good starting point

The headunit will pick up aus radio channels, thankfully they are the same frequency was afraid of that too...

Erm my friend has 1 and its insured. Is insuring the car different for third party and full comp?? Or do they require the same features on an alarm to be ADR compliant? If so, is there a list that tells me what i need? My friend got his from autobarn tho..so should it be okay?

check model number with insurance they should tell you if it aus approved because u can buy models over seas if it same over here and aus approved the model

Edit: also can ask tintacar because they sell viper systems and should tell you if ADR aproved also.

Thanks for the info will do it when i'm back on monday, would there be any complications if any electrician were to do the job or does it have to be a authorised installer? Thanks for all the help, will check with insurance if its a model thats approved.

Just another question, is there any parts i should purchase and bring back which would be more cost efficient? Or does anyone need parts, will be coming back from malaysia and if its too big i can help you guys get it shipped over. Just trying to be helpfull, as i kinda find parts in aus really exp.
