Alarm + Remote Locking

[seanisonfire]

hey guys.. just wondering how much everyone paid to get an alarm and remote locking for your skyline??

would be good to know where, how much, if it was good?

cheers

Mine came with an Autowatch one, works great. Not sure how much though. Go to your local car audio store and ask around.

i rang action alarms in osb park.. they quoted me $448

i thought that was kinda steep?? i thought it would be around $300??

I paid towards the top end of the $400 range (about $470 I think). I went through Action Alarms (good people, also a SAUWA consolidated workshop), came out to my house the same day, fixed my central locking (wasn't working properly), installed an immobiliser aswell as a kick-ass alarm system with built in turbo timer.

Give Action Alarms a call, I cannot reccomend them more.

Or if you're around Osborne Park Westside Car Audio do a good job also and are very friendly.

i was just quoted for a basic system.. he asked me about the turbo timer option.. but cars these days dont really need turbo timers?? thats what i was told!

i will have to ring around some more! but it will be helpful if you guys let me know what the usual $$$ is!

i was quoted around 500 for an autowatch installed, but i just bought a cyclops with all the same features for under $150 and installed it myself. i got a turbo timer chip with mine too so i can run an aftermarket turbo timer, coz the built in ones would suck, if a cop pulls you over u cant switch your car off, and u cant adjust how long u wanna idle it for.

I have an AutoWatch one with built in turbo timer and the timer length is long enough I think (a few minutes at least). If you want to turn your car off earlier you just press a button on the remote twice to stop it so it's not really a problem.

Yeah I paid about $500 for my autowatch installed and all... guy's pretty good but I had some issues with it, he replaced parts for free (as he should). Overall pretty happy with it

Yeh, my alarm has the built in turbo timer, hit the button twice and it turns off.

Guys, be careful when you get your alarms installed. Most installers throw them in as quickly as possible, which means they are quite visiable and easily accessable to thieves. Best way to do it is pull the entire dash apart, hide it right at the back, making it IMPOSSIBLE to be bypassed by theives.

Just my 2c

If you even knock my alarm thingo under the dash a bit too much it goes off.

I was clicking in the little red light onto the dash once when i was putting it back together and the force from the wire set it off.

GL stopping that.
