Viper Alarm

[Shiraz200SX]

okay, things you need to know.

viper is overpriced for not being not australian standard, and therefore, not going to do anything for your insurance. if you have one fitted and your car gets stolen, then tough luck, they're not an approved alarm. They have a coloured wiring harness, would take someone about 2 seconds to find the right wire to cut off and disable the system.

i do believe however, that they have an australian standards one coming out.

i sell these alarms because people for some reason ask for them. we fitted one with remote start to a supra probably 12 months ago, the car was sold a month later into brisbane, then stolen, because remote start makes it even easier to steal.

you need to buy a mongoose M80S. they have three point immobilization, all black wiring harness, turbo timer interface, a siren and you can add things like window wind up modules and boot release solenoids. cheap as chips, australian standards approved, very good quality, insurance approved, widely sold. Just make sure a professional installs it, not your mates dad who is an auto electrician, because they'll make a mess of it. get someone who fits them regularly to install it for you, dont skimp on fitting.

and dont get microwave or ultra sonic sensors, just a gimmick and a waste of money, they dont work.

ive read alot about alarms with turbo timers...

how does that work? for instance the m80g?

does it basically have the turbo timer unit that is wired through the alarm?

but do you have controll over that turbo timer?

am looking for the new 2009 m60g

timer is wired into the system. in the case of the '09 units its done internally.

I have had a Viper in my GTR for almost 10 years now... Damm battery in remote requires changing every few years... They are awesome!!!

Perfect installation is very very important, pay extra for a perfect job.

[Chris Rogers]

+1 on last point. thing being all the good installers are long gone due to being treated like crap.

brandt have always been good to me! approx $800-900 though... a more pricy option,

paid 1000 for my viper with pager and window wind up.

didnt care needed it, just get it installed by a pro in melbournes north recommend JB Epping.

Good to deal with and even after a month took it back with a small prob fixed for free so there good to deal with.

just make sure they dont install the valet button near ur feet!!

My mate drove my car and her has smaller feet than me and snapped it so i had to get a new button, not a major pain but still CBF came into it quick.
