DIY Alarms

[someonestolecc]

Gday,

I know alarms have been covered in threads here but none seem to be installing alarms themselves.

My question is this-

I need an alarm that I can install myself (so sold to public) that is black wiring and remote keyless ... As well as having all the code hopping stuff and ability to be silent (I hate when the car beeps as you open/close it).

It should also have 3 immobiliser points minimum and it would be nice to have additional inputs/outputs (so it can accomodate boot, doors, bonnet, tilt and microwave/proximity.

The jaycar ones look good but unforunately (and stupidly in my opinion) the one with all black wiring doesn't have remote keyless entry (shadow), and the one with keyless entry (and all the features I want) doesn't have black wiring (car steel, steel mate or something..) Go figure.

Anyways - any help is appreciated - if installers can sell me a kit that'd be good too - but I spose people don't sell these things so the wiring diagrams don't get out.... although with black wiring I don't see how it matters.

Thanks.

Check Ebay if you can mate, there are some nice alarms on there. You can get the ISO approved Australian ones like Cyclops, Black Widow or if you want to save some money you can get cheaper ones.

I bought a 'cheap' Chinese unit for $50AUD delivered, and it was great. Central locking output, silent arm/disarm, immobilization, shock sensing, 100db horn, was a very good unit. (Apart from the Engrish installation manual)

give it a try!

hi mate, I bought mine through Autobarn! only cost me bout $200 and it has just about everything you listed above (no microwave sensor). very easy to install.

I did mine, as I have seen some slap happy wiring jobs (no-one takes more care with yor car than yourself!) and I didn't want anyone else to know where and how it is wired up

For anyone else looking at this thread I just noticed the "BW10000" look dodgey as.

Considering -

a. google seems to be spammed with the item pointing to ebay

b. BW homepage doesn't have this model at all

c. the seller's feedbacks looks 'strange'

Anyways, I'll keep looking
