Gsm Controlled Car Alarms

[Omurru]

I remember seeing somewhere alarm/immobiliser units that you could control with sms's in addition to the keyfob. I'm after one in particular that I can start/stop my car via sms's. Is there a single unit that can do this or will I have to daisy chain multiple unit together? Would be nice if it had a turbo timer / 3 point immobilisation as well

mongoose m80 alarm + mongoose sms unit (http://www.mongoose.com.au/accessories/index.php?product_id=MTP-3)

The Series 2 model also has 2 text controlled pager outputs;

1. Pulse output - eg: To unlock the vehicle door(s) if your keys are inside

2. Continuous output - eg: To operate any device such as a relay - speak to your Mongoose dealer on various uses

I guess you could wire it somehow to turn on/off the car..

the mongoose sms unit was for sale on ns.com for a short period for $200~

yeh thats pretty much the only one I can find, i'm sure there was more. Problem with the mongoose is it's very basic in it's sms functionality and you still have to have like 4 separate units....

GiSMo . DEI product. same idea though. its a separate module.

There's a tonne of dodgy ones on ebay but I wouldnt trust them in protecting my car. Better off getting a quality system with an addon sms. Even if its several modules, a quality installer will be able to hide them so there is no problem?

hmmm been looking for a while now and it's kinda dissapointing that the only systems I can find that come anywhere close to doing what I want are the cheepass $300 ones of ebay......Most of the big name brand ones only seem to send u an sms in the case of activation of the alarm, there's no or extremley limited sms controlling features....

Appart from not complying with the australian regs for black wiring which isn't hard to change what are the other draw backs of one of these cheeper units?

I don't need GPS tracking as I already have that in a completley separate unit that is elsewhere in the car.
