Ano pala feedback nyo sa TVSS (Toyota Vehicle Security System), na stock alarm for Toyota? Maganda ba, mapagtiya-tiyagaan, or palitan ko na outright?

Same question as boybi, saan ok bumili ng Clifford? Yung meron range of models na mapagpipilian. Wala bang official distributor ang Clifford dito?

sa experience ko sa TVSS sa corolla namin dati, sobrang mahina yung remote ata, a few meters lang hindi na ma-arm yung alarm.

Reprogram lang yan ng remote. Baka na-adjust kakaalog mo. Yung tauhan ni Jaffas kaya gawin yan in a jiffy. Walang papalitan pipihitin lang transmitter knob sa loob ng remote switch. Pwede mo pa nga pahabaan yung range ng remote.

kung nagiba ang frequency, e di dapat totally hindi na makapag lock/unlock? or yung transmitter power ang ina-adjust?

anybody nakaexperience na magpakabit ng alarm na d navoid warranty?

d ko pa din alam anung alarm ang kukunin kasi medyo wala akong alam sa banawe eh...

Nagpakabit ako ng Remostar na anti-theft dun sa Besta ko a few days after I got it from the dealer. No warranty problem whatsover. Wag ka lang nerbyoso when making a warranty claim. Otherwise, kahit stock ang sasakyan mo kaya ka nilang i-deny on other grounds (abusive driving, going beyond vehicle's intended limits, etc.).

Wala ka pa bang naiisip na brand? Isip ka muna ng budget at features na gusto mo to make the selection easier. Alarms can cost anywhere from Php 2.5K - 12K.

Sablay minsan sa frequency kaya pinipihit para tumama. Pwede pa rin naman lock-unlock kaso malapitan. Alam ko walang trnasmitter power yun, uniform lahat. Nasa fine tuning ng frequency kung makukuhang tama yung control box mo sa loob ng sasakyan.

**boybi** · November 27th, 2003 03:07 PM

pwde kayang i-DIY ang pagpihit ng frequency?

**Ungas** · November 27th, 2003 08:51 PM

Pwede naman kung kabisado mo kung ano yung pipihitin at ilang degrees ang ikot.

**boybi** · November 27th, 2003 09:05 PM

pano kung walang pangpihit sa loob? parang wala akong nakitang pinipihit sa loob the last time i opened up the remote to change the battery.

**Ungas** · November 27th, 2003 09:29 PM

Usually lahat ng remotes meron maliit na tab bandang gitna. Kung wala talaga andun sa control box ang gagalawin.

ize_9::: I have read your thread, the cheapest alarm in Banawe is a Taiwan made that blinks the lights when there is an open door being sold for 2,500. For central locking module it will cost you a thousand bucks more.

**paolorenzo** · November 27th, 2003 10:26 PM

Yung alarm ko CODE RED ang brand. P2500 lang yata, including central locking mechanisms na (actuator ba yun?). Meron pa siyang official distributor sa Pinas, kaya ok ang warranty. Puwede pang mag-order ng extra remotes, in case you lose it.

Pero overall, hindi ako happy sa kanya. Ok ang illegal entry niya, mag-a-alarm once you open a door when it's armed. Pero defective yung sensor niya for vibrations. Kahit anong sipa ko sa gulong or body, ayaw mag-alarm. Pina-adjust ko na yung sensitivity knob sa control box, ayaw pa rin... Ninakaw na gulong mo, hindi pa rin siya mag-a-alarm... Grrr...
