Last time I had an alarm installed at my place the dude backed my car (not the skyline) into my letterbox, what a tool! I got a free alarm but had to replace my rear bumper, hmm I don't know who got a better deal.

Anyway you might want to move the car to a nice open space where he/she has no reason to be moving it.

I too got mine at autoworx...

But Paul doesn't do the install himself.

According to the Owner manual thingo that comes with it, it is done by 'Euro Auto Electrical and Mechanical Repairs.' Mobile number is 0418 927 702.

They seemed to have done a good job on mine, and that of other Autoworx customers so may be worth a try.

I ended up choosing audiocom, the guy knows exactly what hes talkn about and said it wont be a problem hooking up an aftermarket turbo timer. He knows his stuff! Installs them all the time. He said no one has ever come back with a problem.

Everyone else i asked just ummed and ahhed.

Which shows they arent confident and dont know shlt :P

just over 600 i think

It costed a little more than the other place i was going to get it done but they were unsure of how to do everything, and im very willing to pay more for quality.

They can come with turbo timers but it costed a bit more i think to get it to work with my aftermarket one.

Im not sure about other alarms but i want something thats close to the best for my car :D

This one comes with lotsa good features

Yeah i guess so, but then my car isn't worth much at all so i was wondering if there were any cheaper alternatives... :D :blah:

i have been less than impressed with Autowatch the two times i have used them.

Maybe i have had bad luck :)

The alarm would tend to go off in weather changes (hot to cold) and randomly on one of the cars. Most likely the installation, but I got it installed from quite reputable shops.

Cyclops was my last alarm which i preferred.

My GF's car had an AutoWatch alarm in it, installed by her dad (an auto electrician) but the control unit or something shat itself after about 2 years and was doing random things and setting the alarm off etc.

My car has a AutoWatch immobiliser that was in the car before I bought it, and it was installed by Action Alarms in Balcatta, I havn't had a problem with it, and hope to upgrade to the alarm and central locking when I can afford it.

I got the autowatch installed in my car with the inbuilt turbo timer option and ive never had a problem with it. It was installed when i bought my car from Autoworx. Cost me $450 for the 456 RLI remote alarm immobiliser. Euro Auto Electrical did the install.

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
