I'm sure most people on here are familiar with the car at the start of transporter 1. my question is regarding the car, when he gets in the car he has a security system with a PIN code which from what i can see, cuts out the power for the car and i was wondering if there if actually such a thing that exists/is available for purchase?

yes, i have one in each of my GTRs, there $300 -$400 fitted and cut three points( same as a normal alarm just with no siren), just not as fancy as the one in transporter just a key pad you enter a code into, some of the WRXs had to have them fitted as factory so they could get insurence, thanks to the ram raiders

The one that was used standard in WRX was provided by Brant, although their newer units have changed and are now essentially a South African immobilizer made by Sanji. Another retailer: http://carboncarsystems.com.au/sanji-zx40-wireless-keypad-immobiliser-p-154.html

They offer three point immobilization, auto-arms itself after you shut off the car, and has a handy valet mode (disables the unit temporarily - if someone drives the car for more than 15 minutes, next time the car is turned off, it automatically re-arms and requires a pin).

It typically is installed to operate completely independently of your regular alarm, giving you an extra layer of security. For the cost, it's probably not bad value in terms of the extra layer of protection.

thanks for all the help, is there any models that go from 0-9 instead of just 1-5, and is there any guides on fitting them?

thanks again.

there are lots better options available, RFID, Biometric ?

most house alarms arm based on 12V , so yes they make keypads with the digits you require. keypads automatic pin point a weak point in the alarm. they can follow the wires right back in ???

magnetic latching relays ?

RFID is 100% hidden. and you can make your car keyless.and just put in a start button..haha the keys stay in your pocket

Bio metric , can be as well.

just depends on your wallet and the skills of the installer?

Actually they cannot follow the wires back to the alarm module with the Sanji model. The wires on the keypad just go to +power and -earth and the communication link between the keypad and the keypad immobiliser module is done via these wires. They are from South Africa and so they have already thought of that about 5 years ago. Autowatch have a new version keypad immobiliser which incorporates a numeric remote control which you enter your pin number into and press send, which disarms the miniature immobiliser. The actual immobiliser is so small it can be concealed within a wiring harness.

Fyi :The sanji alarm is now wireless keypad , because people traced wires back !!!

But like a ATM cash machine I could sit back and use my long range camera lens to watch you input the code since it lights up at night ?? Too easy to get past

Keypad is out of date tech for low cost oem cars

Any decent installer should be able to foil even the best crims by mis information , alarms hooked to nothing ? The real one is hidden behind so many panels and even the keyswitch can be faked ??

And one the pressurize the abs brakes while armed ??

So much is possible it boggles the mind and wallet. Lol

Mind you this isn't a day job to install

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
