What Alarm?

[3340TH]

Hi, just wondering what sort of alarm i can get....i currently have a mongoose mx40ii, but there is no siren. And with the current break-ins into vehicles, it doesn't matter what you drive now, they will just smash your window to get the shit inside.

Now i think that my current alarm does not have sensors to detect, if some hits my car or breaks in, so i'm shopping for one that will....

I would prefer to keep it mongoose as I've heard good things about them, but the main thing in an alarm that i ask for (besides doing what an alarm does) is for it to engage itself with me having to use the remote.

Currently i lock my car with my key, walk away while it is still running, and about 20seconds after the turbo timer drops out and the car turns off, my indicators flash arming the immobilizer.

Also when buying an alarm system are there instructions in the box to show how to install....Some people might say just take it to a professional, but it is something that i would love to do myself, not only to my car, but others.

I have a Viper alarm which was cheap and does everything I need.

Remote locking, immobilizer, siren, sensors on boot and hood, sonic sensors (or whatever they are), two flashing lights (one which is actually suck to the window and lights up with the brand name) plus a bagillion on and one different ways to program it. I haven't mucked around with it completely, but the option is there.

Cost me $500 including installation around... 6 months ago.

I was looking at the m80g, the only thing i don't want to do is to hang around and wait for the turbo timer to shut off before engaging the alarm, i think they are only $250 on Ebay delivered.

and if you set it up properly - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HANG AROUND!.

julian, an alarm is only as good as the person who installs it..

keep that in mind

you don't have to hang around for the turbo timer to shut off. you use the alarm the same way on any car.

what this alarms does turns all the alarm sensors on like normal but doesn't turn the immoboliser on til the turbo timer turns off.

close. the alarm turns the sensors off but monitors points of entry. when the timer shuts down it brings them online.

btw where did u get it done?

thing to remember about car alarms, is that if you have your car comp insured, then get it installed by an actual technician, as it will lower your insurance costs for having it.

also, what model viper alarm do you have KezR33 ? looking at getting one myself and sounds like all the features i'm after.

I think in NSW your comp insur wont cover you if you do it your self if your car is stolen

Yeah, i got a certificate from my alarm installer to prove it was installed by professional technician for insurance reasons in case anything happens.
