After finding another coat hanger jammed in my door (3rd one this year) I desided that I needed an alarm. I like this one cause it has an 8 second delay from the time it alerts the pager to the time the alarm sounds. Just enough time to grab a shotgun and jump out a window! :2gunsfiri
What do you guys think?
I think your town blows. Too much bad stuff happens there. :disappoin
Yeah, I think it would be cheaper and safer if you just moved to another state at this point. :p
i'm pretty sure that's the system Eric's got in his convertible.
I know he's got a cool LCD remote like that, but I'm thinking it's a different system maybe.
This one's different than mine...seems pretty cool Dare. Have fun wiring it in. ;)
I hope it comes with detailed instructions. I tried to install a remote starter on my brothers 92 cougar, but it did not come with instructions so eventually I gave up.
Well, if you had a diagram for the remote starter it probably wouldn't have been so bad. I put one on my 96 Tbird and had no problems at all. It was easy. Only thing I realy got to worry about on the stang is bypassing the PATS. I'm pretty sure I can get a module for that from Audio+. Other than that it won't be too hard. I've got all of the wireing diagrams I need for my car. So enless I run into something unsuspected, It'll be cool.
u like the hunchback of notre dame eh dare? ;)
hehe, snoopin around in ur feedback :p
Oh! Hahaha! I was wondering WTF you ment! Never even thought of that. :giggle:
I got it for a girl I was with. :shakehead
Me thinks it will be a nightmare to wire up.
Good to see you're still around, Daren.
Me thinks I might have to take pictures and do a write up on it. I don't think it will be too bad, I've got my 3 best friends to help me, Shop key wiring diagrams, DVOM and a Power Probe. :giggle:
If I can't get it to work, then I waisted 3 semesters of Auto Electronics. I'll make sure to post how it goes. (Then again, the next post you see will me " ********* Car alarm *****"! ) :giggle:
hears an idea dare,... get a junk car, get a $200 paint job on it, buff it real shiny get some fake chrome hub caps, and get a fake licence plate that says "Dare's" then wire that mofookieokie up with about 200#s of C-4 with a nice proxy, or remote detonator. then just park it in a shady part of town and blow up the SOB who keeps f'n with your rides. and even if it only gets one of em, the rest are gonna forget about screwing with you again :)
or you could just get a junky beater car that u dont care about :p
Well, I did have a plan similar to that, I was gonna rig a junk amp up with 3 Fractal pipe bombs that would explode whenever you supplyed remote power to it. Then I had a scarry thought. The theif selling it to someone inosent, then that person having a kid in the car. So I never built the device. But don't think shiznit like that never crosses my mind.

Yeah, I've seen that before. Probably wouldn't do me any good though, I don't think anyone in town would ever try to carjack me. However if they do that new alarm has an nice feature. I can push a botton on the remote and it kills the engine as they are driving away! If I could time it just right, I'd kill it just as they pulled in front of a semi!
it would work if you saw them trying to break in, you just hit a button on ur remote and fry his ass
Yeah, but with my luck the flame will hit the gas meter and blow up my house! Hahaha! I can see it happening!
well, if it was only your car they were after, you could take your coil plug wires with you when you leave the car, i did that to a few people and they had no idea what was wrong lol.
lol, reminds me of that "American Hot Rod" episode where they couldn't get the rod running, and I was like "they probably forgot the rotor," and then they check after 30 minutes and see that the rotor isnt there
All six of them? LOL! "now what was that ed firing order again"! Hahaha!
I remember once in HS we took a coil wire that was junk, and put it on this dudes car, I spent all day trying to figure out why the car wouldn't start. The guy was a complete dumbass when it came to diagnostics. So he spent most of the time trying to hotwire the fuel pump!
Just an update
I started installing it tonight. Got a good deal of it done but I ran out of Kerosine so its too cold in the garage to finish. But I got the remote start all wired up, programmed the bypass modual and got the alarm mounted. Remote start works great! Things got a hell of a range on it.
Now all thats left is to wire in the trunk popper, wire in the door lock controls to the GEM module. Hook up the LED, Mount the shock sensor, mount the microwave sensor, and then hide an ungodly emought of wireing! :giggle:
You should take some pictures. :ies:
yeah Daren, you should take some pics of your ies
Just say no to man-ies.
dude, been so long sence you seen a real you'll settle for any? :flip:
Yeah, I will.
And yes to real ies! :ies:
Lol :giggle: . Not the ies, of the alarm install.
:) Here ya go, just took a quick picture. got kinda in a hurry to finish up today, didn't wanna be late for work. Only had 3 major problems installing it. First one I had when it didn't wanna remote start, (Instead of hooking up the neutral safty switch I just grounded the lead) My ground came loose. 2nd problem was when I put the steering collum cover back on, I moved the transponder bypass by accedent, (that thing has to be right up next to the PATS modual to work) Then for some reason the way I had the bypass wired the transponder from it was messing up the signal from the key, So I couldn't start it with the key! (the directions said to supply 12 volt power and hook the ground up to a switched sourse crom the alarm modual, For some reason the sourse was supplying ground all the time, So I grounded the negative lead and ran the positive lead to 12 volt ignition. and that fixed the problem. Now it works great!
Oh and before anyone says it, yes I know that the way I wired the PATS bypass completly bypasses the modual. I figured screw it sence the alarm has a start disable built into it. :)
is that a green neon under your dash? :giggle:
Yep, 2 8" tubes under the dash 4 8" tubes under the front seats, 2 24" tubes in the trunk. and an undercar kit.
Well I'm jealous :bowdown:
The first thing I did when I bought my '87 back in 1992 was get an alarm...in this case an Alpine 8030-B. The thing's so old you program the remotes with DIP switches :giggle:
I don't know how long you plan on keeping the car, but make sure that you pick an alarm where you can easily get replacement remotes if (when) you need them. I find that I have to search far and wide for mine anymore, even though it's a name brand (though back in the day getting them was a snap).
It looks like a nice alarm, though, and for a good price. Mine has half the features (if that) and cost me $500 at the time. The more expensive ones were $750, but the salesman was really cool about it...once I told him I had a T-Bird and not a Vette or something he was pretty adamant at what features I *didn't* need to buy...anywhere else probably would have fired him :giggle:
I can't believe that you've had three attempts to steal it this year. I live a stone's throw from Philly and the only time my alarm gets set off is when a tennis ball hits it or something because someone's kid was playing outside.
Well, Its a small town but we seem to have alot of stereo theives around. And being a small town everyone pretty much knows me and they've seen and heard my car go down the road. So they know I've got something worth stealing. But still what I can't figure. They try to get in with a coathanger! If I was gonna do it, I'd take the porsilin off of a spark plug and pitch it through the window, then take what I want! I just don't know why they waiste their time.
Yep, sure does. It makes almost no sound when it hits, thats the whole point behind it.
BTW: I finaly caught my theif! His dumbass set the alarm off last night while I was on the computer. So I jumped out the window with my swords. (fell in the mud on my way out though, I was kinda drunk) But I caught the . Red handed with a coat hanger, It was a friend of mine! Not like one of my best friends or anything, but someone I thought I could trust. I told him to get lost and never talk to me again! I know exactly what he wanted, he wanted to sell my stuff to get crank! But I put a stop to that, I got ahold of a few people today, drug dealers, (no, I dont do drugs) I let them know what happend. Turns out, one of my friends suspected the guy of stealing some drugs and his PS2 and a bunch of games. So right now, he's pretty much cut off. Basicly what they did was put the word out that he was a snitch. So not too many people are gonna be selling to him!
You know what sucks, not only was I pissed that it was a friend of mine, but I was realy looking forward to beating someone's ass for messing with my car. And I probably should have done it anyway. But I was just so suprised at who it was. a few weeks ago he told me he'd keep an ear out for anyone bragging about ripping me off!
You freind is homoshagual as well???
AHHHHHHHH HAHAHA!!! i about fell out of my chair! downright awesome Tom
No, I'm not gonna set you up with him! :slap:
Hey, you're supposed to be on my side bitch! :giggle:
*Note to self:
When jumping out of a window holding swords, make sure I'm not drunk....
DARE, do you have to pay any monthly monitoring fees with that alarm?
