Went to GL Pro Sound in Essendon yesterday and got quoted $650 for a Mongoose M80 Alarm supplied and fitted. I'll need to install the turbo timer (which I'm eagerly awaiting for from eBay) then I will book a time with GL Pro Sound to install

you reckon that's a good price??

G`DAY BDJ SEEM`S A BIT DEAR I HAD UP GRADE SO I KEPT STANDARD KEYLESS ENTERY,AS I DIDN`T WANT ANY OTHER SIT ON MY KEY,I PAID $350,CUSTODIAN AS100,HAVE HAD NO WORRIES SO FAR,WITH REGARD TO TURBO TIMER DO YOU NEED ONE JUST LET CAR SIT FOR 20SECOND`S & OFF YOU GO.+ JUST SOMETHING TO FU-KUP SO SAVE YOUR SELF SOME MONEY.

GOOL LUCK WITH YOUR NEW RIDE ENJOY,CHEER`S CHUCKIE.

Well I got my M80 Installed. Alarm is pretty good. But I'm going to take it back to GL Pro Sound. For some reason when i went for a longish drive (went for a drive with a mate to Frankston and then turned around and went back home). I stopped at a maccas for a stretch and to get something to drink. My GReddy turbo timer was on auto and was up to 9 minutes. No probs turn "off" the ignition, let the turbo timer do its business and arm the alarm. Approx 1 minute after arming the alarm has gone off!! had to disarm and then wait about 2 minutes or so and re-arm. I got back home where it was more quiet and can try to diag the problem. TT was auto set to 2 and a half minutes. got out and arm the alarm. was having a ciggy and I hear what I think is the fuel pump priming or something and then the alarm went off. disarm and rearm and didn't do it again.

Anyone had this same issue (does that mean the fuel pump is on its way out or would that be cause the alarm to go off because it thinks someone is trying to start the motor)

One of my mates dad's does alarm/imob installs for a living so I got a sweet mates rates + beer payment deal :)

I've got a Mongoose system, don't know the model probably the M80 with glass break sensor and window lift kit.

I wasn't sure whether the window lift kit was worth the extra at the time, but I love it! So easy, just close the door walk away and blip its all taken care of.

how are you setting the alarm? car on , timing down - PRESS 1 and HOLD or press 1?

answer that question first and I'll help you with it.

I have been doing it like this

1. car is running (of course)

2. turn off, turbo timer is on and counting down

3. I'm pressing 1 (just press 1 not press 1 and hold)

You have to excuse me if i have been doing something wrong (first time owner of a turbo car).

press and HOLD 1 with the car running on timer, it will chirp, diasble the sensors but still look at the doors and if one is opened it will shut the car down and sound the alarm.

once the car times out it will chirp again and bring the sensors online.

make sure it works on ALL doors. I have seen too many of them that only trigger on the drivers door.

if it DOES NOT chirp when you do the above they DID NOT turn the function on. if you have the book enable option 13. you will need to TOTALLY disconnect the timer for this to work.

let me know how you go.

I tried it last night...didn't work..do you want me to disable the impact sensor (by pressing 1 then 2)...Although when i was trying just normally, it went off again...the alarm was was going off but the motor was still running. check on the led light what triggered it off - it said that the impact sensor was triggered...I'll keep trying

I have a gsm paging alarm in mine which i think is more useful than those pagers where you have to be standing next to the car...can also arm or disarm via gsm. Just need a prepaid sim card to run it

Got links to this system, Sir Duncan?

nah ring me in the morn. details in sig. they didnt do it right.

Hey Chris, all fixed. the silly buggers did not have the turbo timer function turned on so they did and turned down the shock senor as well. It's at a good level but not so sensitive that the car is going to trigger the alarm while the TT is counting down

Hi guys,

digging up an old thread; I need to find somewhere in Adelaide to install a Mongoose M80G in my stagea, someone who has at least worked on imports... does anyone know of a good place in Adelaide who has worked on imports? I have seen some dodgy alarm installs... I'll be pulling as much off as I can to make it easier for them... but yeah don't want anyone making a mess of my wiring.

Thanks

This thread is old but I will post with a question my problem.

S1 Stagea with a Mongoose M60 alarm. When it was installed something like 6 years ago the installer didn't/couldn't work out how to install it with the decaying interior lights. So when I close the door I have to wait the 30sec or so before alarming otherwise I get the "your door is open" chirps... which is fine just annoying but as I don't drive the car much I havn't bothered to fix it.

Can someone tell me how to fix it or do I need a "profesional" installer? I'm in Brisbane Samford area.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
