    Had the FORCE installed yesterday and I'm quite happy with it thus far.

    It covers all my needs and does it's job effectively.

    Boss Otep, where is the antenna to help increase the range of the transmitter? I may want to reposition it though I may leave it where it is as I get paranoid that I may accidentally press the remote some how and open the vehicle with no one around to protect him.

    Dealing with Jameson is a great experience, for now on, he is one of my go-to guys when it comes to having work done.

    Thanks for the referral Doc.

    Greetings Doc OTEP,

    Question lang sana. My ride is a 96 Corolla Gli Bigbody, just bought it 3 months agofrom a friend. Car still have the original Toyota VSS as its secutriy system. Plan ko na din kasi magpalit to a more up to date SS. Will this FORCE VSS be a good upgrade/change for my cars SS? Actually, di ko din inaactivate yung VSS nung car cause medyo sensitive. Sa ingay lang ng tricycle e alarm na agad sya, sounds weird pero medyo dyahe me sa mga kapitbahay ko pag nagaalarm e..maingay ..ehehe. Pero not now, napitikan kasi me ng side mirror last night lang..huhuhu. Kaya I plan to improve my VSS.
    Would you also advise na ipatanggal ko na yung original VSS hardwares o they will reuse some of the wiring/parts para dun sa new?

    TIA po sa reply.

    Hi, about the TVSS, best advise ko is to disconnect the module na lang but still keep it under the dash so all the components are still in the car. You can even keep the original remotes in an envelope with the owner's manual and other papers.

    Then have the installer put in the new alarm. You will reuse some of the parts like the same door motors and link up to almost the same set of wires when you put in the new system. Just make sure you have a good installer.

    I don't think any vehicle security system is designed to thwart side mirror theft po.

    Copy on that Doc,thanks for the input. I'll try na din to contact yung referred ninyong si Jameson to inquire about the SS, hope ma-accomodate nya ko. Sa kanya na din po bibilin yung SS unit right? May pwesto po ba sya sa Banawe? As in shop po ba?
    As for the side mirror, I usually fold kasi yung side mirror ko when parked na. I'm hoping a good SS could be triggered pag binuka yung side mirror bago pitikin yung lens. Hopefully mataranta yung magnanakaw and magtatakbo nalang..ehehe.
    Kaya lang kainis yung TVSS ko, inuga ko na't lahat yung body and sinipasipa na yung gulong, aba e ayaw pa ding mag alarm...Pero pag biritan ng mutorsiklo or even pag umulan, hala e alarm na ng alarm..ang gulo.
    Oooppss, OT na ata.
    Again Doc, thanks sa tip. I'll just post my updates once napagawa ko na SS ko..

    Good day Pips!!

    Yes, may pwesto sila near Sogo Banawe. He shares space with 'Jorge' radiator shop.

    Eto mejo OT pero related naman kay Jameson:

    Nagpagawa kasi ako sa kanya 2 days ago. Ok naman. Mabait tsaka magaling nga sa electrical. 1k ang siningil saken lahat lahat na. eto yung mga ginawa nya:

    1. Inalis yung indigo gauge kasi sira na. Nagpalit na lang ako ng bulbs (kasama na sa 1k)
    2. Nilinis yung mga wiring sa ilalim ng dashboard. Makalansing din kasi.
    3. Alignment ng window (manual)
    4. Nilagyan ng langis yung steering wheel. Maingay kasi pag lumiliko.

    Pwede na ba?

    Don't know bout pricing, yung paglinis kasi ng electricals nag-iiba cost depende kung gano kagulo.

    Magaling nga siya magtago ng wirings. hehehe. May mga OEM style wiring covers sila aside from the usual spaghetti style cover.

    Recent ko pinagawa sa kanya:
    1. Install Hella horns (with relay) sa '07 Jazz
    2. Install front footwell lights on the same vehicle.

    Next project namin, install 'lock-unlock' button on the blank switch near the mirror controls so the driver doesn't have to reach over his shoulder all the time.

    Btw, arnarn, nabanggit ka nga niya sakin. Magka-apelyido daw tayo. Oops, OT!
