Gday,

I know alarms have been covered in threads here but none seem to be installing alarms themselves.

My question is this-

I need an alarm that I can install myself (so sold to public) that is black wiring and remote keyless ... As well as having all the code hopping stuff and ability to be silent (I hate when the car beeps as you open/close it).

It should also have 3 immobiliser points minimum and it would be nice to have additional inputs/outputs (so it can accomodate boot, doors, bonnet, tilt and microwave/proximity.

The jaycar ones look good but unforunately (and stupidly in my opinion) the one with all black wiring doesn't have remote keyless entry (shadow), and the one with keyless entry (and all the features I want) doesn't have black wiring (car steel, steel mate or something..) Go figure.

Anyways - any help is appreciated - if installers can sell me a kit that'd be good too - but I spose people don't sell these things so the wiring diagrams don't get out.... although with black wiring I don't see how it matters.

Thanks.

Check Ebay if you can mate, there are some nice alarms on there. You can get the ISO approved Australian ones like Cyclops, Black Widow or if you want to save some money you can get cheaper ones.

I bought a 'cheap' Chinese unit for $50AUD delivered, and it was great. Central locking output, silent arm/disarm, immobilization, shock sensing, 100db horn, was a very good unit. (Apart from the Engrish installation manual)

give it a try!

Blacky.

hi mate, I bought mine through Autobarn! only cost me bout $200 and it has just about everything you listed above (no microwave sensor). very easy to install.

I did mine, as I have seen some slap happy wiring jobs (no-one takes more care with yor car than yourself!) and I didn't want anyone else to know where and how it is wired up :)

For anyone else looking at this thread I just noticed the "BW10000" look dodgey as.

Considering -

a. google seems to be spammed with the item pointing to ebay

b. BW homepage doesn't have this model at all

c. the seller's feedbacks looks 'strange'

Anyways, I'll keep looking :)

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
