Mongoose M80

[Kane_R32]

Hey guys,

Went about installing my Greddy turbo timer into my car which I bought equipped with a M80 Mongoose alarm.

Turbo timer shuts off when the ignition is turned off, which is understandable as the M80 has the turbo timer function set to off as default.

I went about turning the ignition on/off the required number of times with the drivers door open, to access the alarms contols, and after I did the right amount of on/offs, nothing happened (indicators ment to flash etc).

I tried to do the same again and turn the beeps on/off without any avail.

Thinking of taking to a local dealer who has done some other audio work on the car. Just thought I'd see if anyone else had a similar issue.

Every other function works with the car.

there is a 5 sec time window to get into program mode. turn EVERYTHING in the car OFF before you start programming it. then start the routine. turn the key quickly when doing it and at the end you will get chirps & flashes, in the last one press button one.

if the timer is connected UNPLUG IT.

this will allow the alarm to arm with the timer you have in the car - IT DOES NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF IT!

once you get it set up plug the timer back in start the car wait a few minutes then turn the key off, timer counts down - press and hold button 1. you will get a chirp . opening the car with the key will set the alarm off and shut the car down.

if you get that result it works

had this exact same problem with mine and was gonna post a thread but never got round to it....

so I can't turn on the TT function unless I unplug the TT first? really wish I knew that before I put it in!!!

Hey guys, just wondering - my car came with a mongoose alarm, but i'm not sure what model it is. It's got a 2 button remote. I want to find out if i can get the instruction manual for it, coz i want to install a turbo timer... any ideas how i can identify it?

Could probably ask the guys at Mongoose to help you to identify it - http://mongoose.com.au/

The problem is that when you start the programming sequence you basically have a window of only 15 seconds to turn the ignition on and off the number of times for the feature, and for features down the list like the turbo timer function which is number 13 means you have to turn the ignition on and off 13 times in 15 secs of opening the door. So it has to be quick. If your turbo timer is on then it obviously holds the ignition on, preventing the programming working properly.

This is especially so with the Greddy Timers as even when they are set to the off position they actually stay on for .5 of a second after the ignition is switched off, hence this adds .5 of a second to each time you turn the ignition on and off. You dont necessarily have to disconnect the timer but just do the programming fast or to make it easier you can disconnect the timer till its programmed correct

Hi Daniel,

I'm hearing good things about your installs through the Industry here in Sydney.

Keep up the good work mate.
