Bottom line is if they really want to steal it They will

had a mate who owned a vk Brock took it to calder took rotor button out took relay out for ignition the only thing we come up with is that they trailered it out whilst we were in side

or rolled it out. had a fellow in parramatta that lost a S14 the same way. new car (2004 when I did it.) had quiktrack on it. no problems now.

in regard to theft of vehicles, if I wanted a lot of vehicles quickly which would I do: ( I have a light truck licence btw)

find a group of mates and go pinch a few cars all at once OR

pinch a flatbed. have a think about that one..

truck is definetly the best way, if a theif really wants something quick and easily they wont stuff around with ur alarm they will just put it on a truck and leave quicksmart :P

which means that if you are really worried about your cars security either dont leave it anywhere or get a tracker as chris has said many times

A little trick a friend told me as he is a towie when you park you car, turn the wheel to full lock into the kerb then lock it, if thay try to drag your car up onto the tray the car will want to turn, which makes it that little bit harder to take.

Honestly IMO, the best way to install an alarm is to do it yourself, then everything is customised and not wired the same as every single car on the street.

I've got my entire alarm wired totally different to most or all cars, the box is actually on the left hand side of the car and all the wires are routed together with the stock wiring so when a crook pulls out the wiring it looks like there's no alarm attached...

Using a BW10000, I managed to get 4 pt immobiliser outta it, hooked up a pile of relays in parallel to each other...

got one for fuel, starter, power, ignition...

Believe CHRIS ROGERS when he tells you anything about alarms ect. My r33 GTS-t wouldn't unlock the other morning and the immobiliser wouldn't turn off. I gave Chris a buZz and he came over. Turned out I had 2 alarms in my car and one died hence the issue. No bulkshit he had my car running in almost 45sec. He is the only one who put alarms in ANYTHING I drive. Because when he does it he does it with his own experience at hand and fits them so there as hard as possible for him so damn near impossible for anyone else. Chris's a alarm /Auto Elec GURU.

Thanks heaps for your help mate.

Maybe but the fellow that posted and bumped the thread was privy to me hot wiring and bypassing two alarms in under 45 seconds.

He has a right to be happy that I did it before a thief did.

Anyone recommend a good place on the Gold Coast where I can buy & get them to install the alarm PROPERLY..

I would try it myself as stated in this thread, but when it comes to electrics.. I'm fried :)

Not really looking for anything too exy, the car will be locked in fence and garage but still..

Edited by Zrobe

run it up to me and I will do it.

phone number in sig.

No worries, I'm on phone so couldn't see your sig.

Didn't realise you we're in Brisbane.

When I do get my alarm (probably not for a while, car is currently not running) I will take it straight to you.

Are you also able to remove my current alarm? Was on with the car when purchased and stuffs around every now and then.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
