Hey people, am currently trying to find out information regarding what the best alarms are to have installed.

I'm after one which has a Keypad and is atleast 3-point immobiliser.

Could you please recommend some to me, as well as sites/locations in sydney (probably on the north shore) where I could get them installed.

Any information would be great, i've tried searching, didn't find a huge amount though.

Thanks,

Get a tracker , dont bother with a keypad .

quicktrack

Quicktrack dont have any cover outside Sydney metro .

Ezitrak is the way to go and you can monitor it yourself , the only cost is a sim card and the phone call when you want to monitor it .

Only sydney metro dude as soon as you go out of sydney no cover .

ezitrak works on gps to lacate the car and gsm to call you , as long as it is above ground you know where is is , if it goes underground it gives the last known location .

I have had several cars with q/t and i still have an sti with q/t ( not connected ) , i installed ezitrak in it .

So I need a mobile + sim card, what stops a thief from ripping out the mobile phone - out of interest..

Keypad is probably more of a deterent.. means if someone steals my keys they can't just unlock/disarm my car and drive off in it..

What's the price of quicktrak and ezitrack - for the unit and than for installation..

Need to get this organised soon.. put a deposit down for the car.. woot...

Nothing will stop the thief from ripping it out if the can find it , just like nothing will stop them from ripping the keypad immobiliser if they find it .

As soon as someone opens the door of your car , it will call you and tell you " i have detected an intruder " and give some options .

If they start the car it will tell you so , it will give you the location and you can shut the engine down on them as well .

If you get carjacked give them the car with the keys and as soon as they go away you shut the engine on them .

If you forget the lights on as soon as the battery drops voltage it will call you to tell you " low voltage " then when it drops more it will call you again to say " low votage on main battery switching to backup battery "

If they deside to tow the car , even if they dont open any doors as soon as the car moves it will call you to tell you its moving , it will give you the direction its heading the location and the speed its traveling .

As you can see it's pointless paying close to $1 k to get just an alarm fitted when you can have this for not that much more !

Ezitrak is about $12-1300 fitted in your car if you want to monitor it yourself .

$1200 - $1300.. hmm interesting.. well goto say, does do a huge number of different functions.

At the moment though I don't think I have quite that amount of $$$'s, but is something that I might look into in the future..

If someone ripped off the keypad, wouldn't it disable it completely.. otherwise.. really.. it would defeat the purpose.. personally don't know - just wondering..

Are there any other options that are <$1000.. i know - should spend more, however I don't have an endless supply of money and it's gonna cost me about $5000 to get on the road in the first place..

Would it be useful to use something like this in combination with a different immobiliser system?

has a good description of it..

web link for it..

At the moment - might look into something like a MONGOOSE M80G.. something along those lines for the time being? many ppl use systems like these?

yep a fair few of the brisbane SAU members have them. ( I have fitted them.) decent alarm and no dramas. best to get it fitted properly. $550-650 is the starting price depening on what you get on it.

How much does it cost to get a Mongoose M80G fitted in sydney - mainly on the north shore?

Does anyone have someone that they recommend?

In regards to brant alarm systems - you can still get them installed - they are installed by private installers that used to do them for brant directly. They will install the 3-point and the 6-point nemesis ($890 - if you are with Justcars). They also offer a 3 year warranty (i believe) and will come to you and install it.

Hey Links

Might be able to help...

I recently had a 6 point alarm with key pad installed into my GTR.

The guy who put it in is the head contractor for Brant but also does private work.

His name is James and you should be able to contact him on 0408 44 33 52.

He knew what he was talking about.

He gave me an excellent price and came to me.

Hope this helps.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
