I've used Allan a couple of time and think he's a great guy. Honestly I can't comment on the quality of an install in the same way Chris might (ie. as a fellow professional installer), but what I can say is that he always tries to find the best solution for your needs (even if that means less money for him) and when he does personal jobs (as opposed to contract jobs where he is told to install quickly) he spends a lot of time on the install. The last one he did for me about a month ago he spent 6 hours straight (arrived 10PM; left at 4PM) on the install. Poor fellow, hope he has a good chiropractor :D

when it comes to alarm/immob installs. i do it all my self as ive some of the "proffesional" work done by some installers.

When i done the alarm on my car i had the main loom apart and wired the alarm/immob loob directly to it (loom sits under dash) then taped the whole lot back up, so all you saw when you pulled the dash out was a bunch of black wires going into the main loom.

a lot of work, but its worth it.

so if I look at it I can see the alarm wiring going into the main harness? cool. I'll be over to collect a new car.

bury the unit and hide the cabling so it CANNOT be seen.

Hey guys, I'm after a deacent installer of a good system in Adelaide. Any suggestions as to where I can go? I've heard Tisonics, Ming & Complete Car Audio are meant to be really good, but would like some other opinions on these guys & possible alternatives.

Cheers

Thanks for that mate, will look into it. Wanna get a system pretty soon so sounds like a very good place to start. Top installers should have good connections :ban: cheers.

GhostRider - can you PM me the details of the bloke in dapto - wouldn't mind one of those.

I will do my best to find him for you.

I think they're a great device and for a lousy $20 they are nearly impossible to defeat.

Cheers, D

ummm, read again "when you pull the dash out" e.g i had the whole dash out, so the unit WAS hidden.

e.g if the immob unit ever shat it self, id have to take the WHOLE dash out to replace it, so therefire if you lay under the dash and look up you cant see it.........

abviously anyone with a bit of electronic knowledge can crack open a immob unit and short the wires needed to start the car.......

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
