Question regarding aftermarket alarm systems.

[moe]

i guess it would be best if you just took it to an auto accessories shop, they'd be able to hook it up in 5-10 minutes. how small is the oem horn and where is it located? (specifically where under the hood?)

[Picard]

it's in the middle, just in front of the dashboard.. under the hood of course.

[moe]

hehe but of course, under the hood. well, goodluck and tell me how it goes. and you're right, mine has two wires. better have it done by a pro.

[Picard]

Hey thanks man I appreciate it!

[moe]

no problem dude. glad to be of help.

Remote starts are intended for fuel injected A/T vehicles. In other markets it is against the law to install such devices on m/t's (these are usually also the markets which mandate a clutch-starter interlock).

Re: siren. Yes it can be changed. The Viper system of my brother now sounds like an Autopage system. Not sure about the cost but it should not be expensive. The siren was acquired from Banawe. From Jaffas, I think.

pwede yan mike_vb11! I had my old alarm replaced (busted transmitter) with Venom Nahinaan din ako sa siren nito. So binalik ko yung siren ng lumang alarm. malakas kasi yun. mabilis lang yan gawin.

-->> hey guys, sorry been busy, realy busy. ill try to go to banawe, change the weak horn to a louder one. thanks for the info!
sir OTEP, maganda po ba sound ng autopage? san yung jaffas mismo sa banawe? TY!

[StraightSix]

yup. i'll try sa banawe. Most buzzers come with two wires, one negative, one positive. My factory piezo is connected only to one wire. How will i make an aftermarket piezo work?

Is your factory buzzer bolted to car's body? If it is, that is where the negative or ground connection for the aftermarket buzzer should go.

Nope isang wire lang talaga. Pati dun sa busina ti-isang wire lang din. Pero oo i figured out yung negative wire e sa unpainted body dapat i-mount.

I've been to banawe already and without surprise hindi nila alam yung "piezo". Kinakamutan lang ako ng ulo like what i expected. I always try to explain the part pero most shops na natanungan ko wala daw silang ganun.

Try the electronic parts shops like the ones in Raon. Kung nalalakasan ka sa factory buzzer, maraming maliit na piezo buzzers sa mga shops duon. I'd assume that your piezo is rated at 12v, but to be sure just measure it - meron kasing mga piezo na below 12v ang rating. Hanap ka na lang ng shop na pwedeng i-test yung piezo buzzer para marinig mo na rin kung magugustuhan mo ang tunog. HTH

[OTEP]

Naalala ko lang. Stuffing a rag into the siren's 'cone' is also a good way to quiet it down. Ginawa ko yun sa Sentra dati when the key fob had a problem. Gamit ko yung bilog na basahan na limang piso isang tumpok ang bentahan sa stoplight.

sir OTEP, maganda po ba sound ng autopage?

Autopage is a single tone alarm. It sounds very European. Medyo naiirita na ko sa six tone kasi yun ang gamit na wang wang ng mga tricycle at jeepney.

Thanks sa reply sir. Yung sakin kasi horn piezo na beep-beep ang sound. Kairita ang tunog. Gusto ko teet-teet sound like the ones installed sa Toyota vehicles sa states.

How does the autostart work? I mean, I understand that it starts your engine. But, when you get into the car, you still have to turn the key?

I might get this done, summer's coming up, and I think it would be great to start the car, and have the a/c on before you get into the car.

[OTEP]

You still have to insert the key. Otherwise, the engine will shut off when you touch the brakes or attempt to lower the parking brake.

sa alarm ko ganito,

at armed state, press key(s) to start. pag start, armed pa rin. pag sinusi mo yung lock at binuksan, shut down makina then alarm.

dapat, disarm muna, sakay, saksak susi and put at ON position. pag hindi nisaksak susi, like what sir otep said, mamamatay makina

[JiggeR671]

mga sir... meron na bang sa market nung handsfree na car alarm...
yung nag lolock/unlock arm/disarm when the remote is within range nde na kailang pindutin..

kaya pag malapit ka na sa auto mo unlock na yung doors.. pag lumayo ka nag lolock.. meron kasi akong nakita sa ebay.. k9 sombra ang brand

[OTEP]

Sir Otep, do u know how to wire these alarms to the brakes so that it will shut down the engine if u press it w/o inserting the keys? Balak kasi naming lagyan ung GSM car alarm namin ng auto-start feature at dami nanghihingi ng ganitong features. Pero ung turbo timer meron na kami ito na lang ang kulang.

I'm not an electrician. But AFAIK, they have it tapped to the switch that also illumites the handbrake warning on the dash. If the circuit is not continous (handbrake down), remote start will not work or engine will die (in case engine is running).

The other one is on the brake light switch above the brake pedal. If circuit is completed (e.g. you step on the brakes) with the ignition not in the 'ON' position, engine also dies.

[rusem]

question lang rin... kung meron sa inyo meron ganitong alarm, para san yung button sa right? kasi ginagamit ko lang yung left button for unlocking and locking the car doors. yung sa right di ko alam kung para san siya. kung pang silent mode or ano. wala na kasing manual to eh. naka install sa isang nakuha naming sasakyan... thanks

Sir Picard,

Ive been following your posts here in Tsikot. Parehas tayo problema, halos lahat ng matatanong ko, natanong mo na. Paano mo pala naayos yung "piezo" horn? We have same ride, altis. Mine's quicksilver E.

[strutot]

question lang po: my car has a keyless entry but no alarm... if i installed a third party alarn can i still use the stock remote?

[OTEP]

That would depend on the installer. But the answer would be yes if your installer has the skills.

However, you can only use the OEM transmitter to lock or unlock the doors, it will not disarm the system so you will still trigger the alarm when you open the door. At least you can use the OEM as a spare.
