Budget Special: FORCE Vehicle Security System

[OTEP]

I had one installed in one of the vehicles today. It's features (and transmitter) are similar to the more basic models of Autopage. Not the cheapest system on the market at SRP Php1,600.00++ but I chose it for the following reasons:

*Autopage-look trasmitters that do not have tons of plastic chrome or look like spaceships as some Taiwan transmitters do.
*None of that flashing parklight thing when you open the door so common in Taiwan alarms. Some people like this feature, I don't.
*The siren sounds like an Autopage and not your neighborhood tricycle or jeepney 'wang-wang'. The arm and disarm chirps are also very European.
*Separate shock sensor with knob adjustment (no need for a micro screwdriver to adjust sensitivity).

*Anti-carjacking feature (engine disable and alarm triggers if programmed to do so)
*Password override (no valet switch that everyone knows is just under the dash)
*Starter disable when system armed (just like in more expensive systems)

For those looking for a system, this might be a good option.

The OEM keyless entry (without alarm) was also not disturbed during this install should there be a wish to revert back to the original system in the future.

The new system also flashes the turn signals (not the park lamps) to make it look like an 'original' security system. You can request the installer to do this.

maganda to..saan po kayo nakabili? most of the stores like BLADE ayaw installan ang Mazda 3 ko, mavovoid daw ang warranty?

[Yenfico]

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.

ano to? eto ba ung pwede mong patayin yung alarm pag engage na siya incase manual mo binuksan yung door kasi whatever the reason is ayaw gumana ng remote? badtrip kasi minsan ayaw gumana ng remote ko dahil ata sa frequency issues.

[OTEP]

Yup. That's what the manual override is for. Unlike before where there is a switch dangling from underneath the dash, this system uses a password. For obvious reasons, I will refrain from discussing how the password override works. All I can say is you will just need your car key and a good view of the LED warning lamp to override the system.\

I also asked my installer not to install the alarm control unit box under the dashboard. The long wires included means it can be installed in a more discrete place. Some less popular places include, kick panels, behind the center stack (behind the audio/HVAC system), in the passenger side of the dash, etc.

gano kalayo naman ang range ng trasmitter nito?

[OTEP]

Not as far as those old Cobra Units (4th floor UST Main Building to the vehicle parked on the then front parking (now its a pedestrian park).

About 3-5 cars away as you approach it on the parking lot. You can reposition the antenna wire to get better range.

hindi ko nakita dun sa pics

yung bang autolock nya, brake activated din kagaya nung mga ibang taiwan models?

[OTEP]

Nope. The autolock is ignition sensing like non-Taiwan alarms, not brake sensing.

Nasa first po nh jemson thread ang contact at address niya

[nelS]

meron po ba nabibili na repalcement sa remote ng alarm? saan po kaya ang shops na nag bebenta neto kung meron man?...TIA

[greatauror28]

In my observation, this FORCE alarm is truly cheap and bang for the buck, but not that really 'dependable' during the first days/months of use.

As per the posts dictates, they usually encounter one or two problems and had to return to Jemson for a fix so it will act normally again.

Anybody here never encountered a single problem since installation? Im getting less motivated to have this alarm coz we can't have the luxury of going back to Jemson because my Hiace is for my van-for-rent business and it is always out in far-flung provinces.

Peace!

No Issues since day one! *Knock on Wood*

I'm very happy with the system and it's never let me down. Just had to tune the shock sensor properly but once that was done, all is good.

[greatauror28]

wow! that's two right there; im getting more convinced.
i wanna hear more comments guys

[OTEP]

Other than the drawings on the buttons getting erased, my unit has been trouble free. Its installed in a 2001 Patrol.

But now i prefer buying the viking system from sulit.com. 1k lang kasi. But i still have jemson do the install
