Budget Special: FORCE Vehicle Security System

[perrydathird]

Hi Doc,

If I may ask, ok kaya na magpakabit nito considering bago pa lang ang i10 ko? sa casa kasi, ang alarm with central locks cost 5.5k including labor. kay jameson, magkano ang labor, aside from the 1.6k cost of the alarm?

also, may i ask anong car mo and kumusta ang linis ng install?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Doc Otep!

Brand new Kia Picanto, the more than I am seriously considering having it installed in my i10. If you trust him that much, he must be that good!!

Sir, where can i purchase that alarm system, also, any tips on what to tell Jameson re installation?

[OTEP]

Install the control box in a hidden position

Affix the shock sensor onto something very stable and solid (e.g. vehicle body)

Wire the visible warnings onto the signal lamps instead of parklamps

One last thing, if you install an aftermarket alarm on a Picanto, the door ajar and tailgate ajar warning lamps will now illuminate at the same time irregardless of which door you have opened. Not really a big issue for me.

Thank you Doc! I am in touch with Jameson yesterday, just finding time for this install as well as a horn install. I am sure Jameson can do this easily.

Will update this forum once install is finished.

Just brought kumanders car there to get the rad overhauled by Jorge and the Force alarm installed by Jameson. This guy is the shiznit. Sa sobrang tuwa ko nagpa upgrade din ako ng headlight ni kumander. Complete with ceramic sockets, wiring, relay etc. He knows how to treat his customers well. Thanks for the advice Doc! I'm now recommending Jameson to all my buddies.

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.

[OTEP]

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.

[znehdsky]

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!!

[OTEP]

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?

[OTEP]

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!

I got it from my long time (10 years plus) electrician who now freelances in Banawe. His name is Jameson (09215711924). Just tell him, Dr. Rivera referred you to him. He frequents the radiator shop in front of Sogo Banawe (directly in front of the artifical flower shop)

You can also shop around.

Bos otep naisulat ko na to sa thread. Me alrm na yung oto ko pero nung umuwi yung bayaw ko from US two weeks ago inuwian nya ako ng Code Alarm na napakaraming features. Somebody suggested to have it installed as winterpine pero natakot ako nung mabasa ko itong thread about winterpine http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1837

so natakot ako. Until another tsikoter suggested me this thread. Natawagan ko na boss si jameson. Ask ko lang magkano kaya pakabit sa kanya? Hindi kaya nya ako tagain since newbie ako dun? TIA.

Sir Otep how does your footwell lighting function? Any door that opens mag lilight up? Does it have a separate switch for it to turn on when you want it? Or yung "door" mode lang?

I have footwell lighting na. But the problem is, my installer only knows how to wire it to the driver door. So if the driver side door is closed and other doors are open, the footwell light doesn't light up.

How much did they charge you for it? Thanks!

[OTEP]

The footwell lights illuminate with any door open. There is a manual override to shut them off.

I think its Php350 or so for a pair but better ask Jameson first.

[glntVR]

Okay thanks for the quick reply. That was very helpful!

Sana I can drop by soon para maayos!
