Hi Guys,

Just wondering if any of you have changed a M80 siren? As far as I can tell the replacement Battery Back-up Siren only has 4 wires - I'm thinking of just disconnecting the battery and connecting up the wires appropriately. This looks like a very easy job - but I was wondering is there any tricks that need to be done before hand or afterwards in order for this to go smoothly?

The Auto-Elec wants $50 to do this (but if he is just going to splice the wires and connect them up - it sounds like a 5 minute job) - Don't want to sound like a scrooge but the money will be better kept in my pocket if this is the case. Any advice would be much appreciated :)

Hi mate,

I just had one done for that alarm in one of my cars. Didnt need to disconnect battery and didnt need to do anything special from the looks of it.

Cut wires and reconnect.

If you do want to get it done properly (and cost effective) go and see Daniel from Carbon Car Systems in Sydney.

Hope this helps.

Thanks heaps for the response man!

Unfortunately I'm in Melb so Carbon Car Systems is out :( I called around another few places today - one guy actually wanted $108 in addition to the replacement part price (while that doesn't sound completely excessive, especially if he is going to pull the whole dash out and rewire the whole thing, but from speaking to him and grilling him a bit - I got the feeling he was just going to cut into the old wiring). But you have been a great help and have given me a lot more confidence now - so I'm sure I can do it myself! :) Cheers

      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.

      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?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
