Aus Standard Immob In Melbourne

[siglapian]

Hi all,

I've just recently purchased a 2004 V35 Auto. Fantastic car! Used to drive a Subaru Forester Turbo, NA RWD is sooooo different.

I've read through the threads on immobilisers and keys - thanks Chris Rogers and others - but it still didn't really show what or who can be done to fit Australian Standard Immobilisers in our cars.

As my anti-theft insurance demands it, does anyone know of any shops in Melbourne who can fit immobs in our V35s? You can PM me if inconvenient, and adding the price and model would be great. Thanks!!

Speak to Kamikaze Motors - I bought a Mongoose MAP80G (upgrade alarm, uses standard key fob) off ebay and they arranged the install. Can't remember how much it cost all up but it was good value. Works great.

I got a Mongoose MAP80G on my Stagea...If you want to installed take it to Stylin' I highly recommend them...I don't how much they charge for supply and fitment (I had my alarm re-wired by them). I got reccommended to them by Chris Rogers.

so yeah

Hi all,

A bit off the subject, I have just installed an Autowatch 446 in my recently purchased V35 coupe. I was wondering if anyone can give some advice on the best location for the bonnet switch, or where you all have them, I have left this untill last but the engine bay looks fairly limited for good locations.

Any helpfull replies appreciated.

btw this forum was and still is a great help in the recent upgrade from an R33...

Hey sky,

took a quick photo for you while i was in the garage. so apologies for the nokia quality.

Here is mine, located on the the near front left hand side when you opened the bonnet.

Anyway hope this helps.

I actually thought that it was the complience shops responsibilty to install an immobiliser prior to sale. Im sure thats what my NSW shop did.

[Chris Rogers]

they are supposed to be done on ANY car past july 2001. that said its all $$ and most have a way out of doing it..

(I know of a few shops that got into strife because of it.)

if half the cars had compliance checks I would say most would fail personally.

OGZ,

mongoose alarm bonnet pin could have been put on the same side as the siren behind the headlight.

wow cool thanks.... how good is this alarm chris? and is there anyway i can tell which model this is..? might give it a bit of a read/reviews.

[Chris Rogers]

if it has remotes - M80 - if not MAP 80. google both of those for more info.

Hey Ogz,

Thanks for taking the time to do that, very much appreciated! I couldnt actually see the bonnet switch in the photo, see the siren mounting position though.

My car did have an immobiliser installed at compliance, just the Autowatch proximity but I wanted to upgrade to full alarm, any other ideas for the bonnet switch location??

thanks all

Hey Sky,

No probs. you know what i might be on the same boat now. All along i thot this was the bonnet switch, which i can access with the key to activate/deactovate.. i wouldnt assume that this is the siren, coz it doesnt look like a siren to me at all. lol

Anyway my bad if i wasnt very helpful, i really thought that this is the main switch so i just took a quick photo.

[skygo2xs]

No worries Ogz, I think you may find its the siren, the key switch is to turn off the siren I think, havent had much to do with Mongoose, have always installed Autowatch. Ive got a Mongoose manual I can email you if you want or dont have one. cheers.

[ogz007]

Hey Sky,

yeh sure if i you wont mind. ill give it abit of a read. Thanks again!

Chris should be able to help you out tho thats for sure.

Cheers,

[Chris Rogers]

Ogz,

I mentioned where I put mine. siren is put in another spot as well.
