Guys.

Just read this on another forum

http://www.search.asic.gov.au/cgi-bin/gns0...t=ACN&srchsrc=1

It appears brant has gone into administration, so you may not be able to get support on your alarm systems.

Sorry thats all the infomation I have.

p.s.. if this is a repost.. keep smart ass remarks to your self. :(

plus plenty of support from insurers. I have heard some stuff cases where their systems were not quite all that. but I guess like all these alarms if you are trained in installing them, it's a piss of cake to disable them. and that's the problem so many people installing Brant alarms. sure they have security licences (or should) but that's no guarantee of their good character.

Thats the case with any alarm mate , if you know what you are doing you can start the car in seconds .

I have a 02 sti with the brant keypad ( a pain in the ass i might add ) . Every time the battery gets low you have to go back to Suabaru to get a master code put in and the good thing about it has to go on a tilt tray . People are paying for the tow track $80- 150 + 45-60 to the suby dealer just for 2 minutes work . They wont give you the master code for obvious reasons .

My battery went flat a few weeks ago and when it wouldnt accept the code i desided it was time to bypass it . It took me about 10 minutes to locate the unit and about 10 minutes to work out how to bypass it . Now that i know how its done i can do it in about 30 seconds , so much for the fantastic brant keypad system .

I may add that the sti has another brant unit in it that is controlled by the subaru key ( a little button on it ) and a third one that comes with the car from japan .

All very easy to bypass with a little know how .

on the topic of easily bypassed, i would say most factory fitted alarms are easy to get around. They would all be installled the same and once a weakness if found the car is fair game. If I was buying a wrx I would not get it with an alarm and have a custom one installed.

I had a Brant in my Soarer - it was the most useless alarm i've used. Had to practically hold the transmitter on the car to lock it, yet on quite a few occasions i'd be walking away from my car (20-50m) and i'd hear my car unlock (no idea how that happened, but i had to walk back to the car to lock it!). Transmitter batteries lasted about 2 months because you had to hold the button down for about 3 seconds to lock/unlock it

No idea about how easy it was to bypass, but it just gave me the shits. Young and Cool insurance required it though. Alot of people i know had gone back several times for replacement modules...

For about $1200 -1300 you can get a tracker , why pay $1 k for an alarm ?

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
