Personally I prefer Autowatch 446 Premier with built in turbo timer.

As for ultra sonics these are usually a 2 piece system mounted on either side of the dashboard, 1 of them is a transmitter the other is a reciever and an ultra sonic beam (high frequency sound wave) is transmitted from i to the other, if the beam is broken by an object such as an arm the alarm is triggered. If I had to choose I would pick ultra sonics instead of microwave sensor but definately a shock sensor is needed if you want to save your wheels!

Not sure what the M80G is, I have the M80S and its fine.

Depends how much you want to spend really, if you want ultrasonic/microwave, its gonna cost you.

Ditto for the M80S...

Ultrasonics are a pain in the ar5e if u ask me... constantly false alarming to the point that you have turned the sensor down and might as well not have it at all......

[rb25_r32]

does the m80au have shock sensor?

and what would you guys prefer glass break or ultrasonic?

hmmm, the m80s comes with shock sensors, ultrasonic sensors r optional. Ive got a m80g, same as m80s but with glass break sensor. I get false alarms also. You sure its not the shcok sensors that r causing it?

M80S for the win... i havent had any problems with mine, and it works fine, ultrasonics are a pain, as everyone has already mentioned...

glass break is set a tad too high. common problem I have with them after I set them to my liking.

hey, audio express from caa right?

Were abouts is the control for the glass break sensor? On the module?

[Rekin]

I think all Mongoose m80 series come with 2 stage shock sensor as standard.

I had the m80AU fitted about 3 weeks ago.

Couldnt be happier.

ultrasonic are high frequency waves being sent around the inside of the car. If something gets in the way of the bouncing signals they set off the alarm.

Basically, if you have the window down and you stick your hand through the alarm will go off.

Reason I chose:

If car has tinted window's and window is popped out, glass break sensor may not hear.

Sensitivity:

I think it is perfect. A lot of people say its too sensitive but majority dont even have the system..Not once have I had a false trigger from the sensors.

I also had window sunshade stuck on window, one side detached and didnt trigger the alarm.

I paid an extra $40 when compared to glass break sensor and I guess its worth it for such a low price difference.

I was planning on getting microwave sensor but the alarm person talked me out of it, not sure why, thought it would be better having a chirp if someone looks through window. I think it may cause too many false triggers if people walk past etc..

take a shot under the dash when you are done and I'll see if I can find the unit

I had a look at my Girlfriends Celica on the weekend, her shock sensor was set way too high. Pulled down the main panel under the steering wheel, and there was the black box, nice and easy to adjust, way too easy!

Would a good place to hide an alarm module be on the passenger side, up underneath the dash as far up as possible? Or does it not matter, because you can look around for additional wires and follow them back?

Chris, what's your recommendation for hiding it...?

[Chris Rogers]

not going into detail but right out of mind and out of sight.

worked on one today that I could have stole the car in less than 30 secs becuase it was such a sh1t job...

[Trav33]

But even if its out of sight, if you've got a little valet button under your panel, and can follow the two wires back somewhere, you'll find the module pretty quick?!
