Oo nga, eh. Minsan hindi pumapasok for work or may malalaki nang kontrata sa labas (e.g. sa Foton) kaya hindi available. hehe.

T'was a busy day for Jemson and the gang, at least while I was there yesterday morning. Arrived there around 9:45am, naabutan ko they were testing/fine tuning an old model lancer's sound setup. Just enough time to gather my items for installation sa kanilang suking shops. Since me prior communications na kami sa mga papa-install ko, ako na kaagad ang next in line... though the time my car was being attended to, wala namang naging ibang costumer. Better for me kasi natutukan talaga sasakyan ko (which isn't so good din to some extent, see below). Anyway, here are the things Jemson got to work on my car, an Altis 1.6E '03:

a. First and foremost ng pagpunta ko is syempre yung car alarm. The TVSS gave up the ghost nung Ondoy. Na-grounded yata kasi nababad sa tubig yung rear portion. I got to choose between the Force and Autopage alarms, but ultimately... the brand and the remote itself were the deciding factor why I went for the Autopage RF225a.



I find the Force's remote too simplistic, and konti na rin lang idagdag ko to get the more established brand. Also, I chose between having it installed by a dealer or kay Jemson nga. Advantage sana sa dealer coz for sure kabisado na nila mga Autopage products, but since marami nga kasi ako papagawa kaya kay Jemson na lang. Seems there's not too many Autopage installs he's done though kasi he still has to resort to the diagram from time to time, which I think sa Force alarm kaya na nya ikabit kahit natutulog. Hehe. Cost: Php3,300.00, plus P150 for the signal light indicator conversion.

b. Second major item on the list is the addition of a pair of foglamps. 1.6E nga lang kasi kaya wala pa. Item installed is the DLAA TY60 fog lamps. Natuwa na sana ako coz I always see this particular brand for aftermarket car lighting products, but the included switch seems so flimsy, that when installed di kumakagat yung push button switch nya. His assistant had to shave some part of the panel pa. Still, the feel is not as positive as what my brod had installed on his previous Altis too. Parang it will give out real soon. Baka magtanong na lang ako sa Toyorama kung meron silang orig or replacement part na mas robust. Cost: P2,800

c. One of the door locks had also been out of service for quite a time kaya pinatingnan ko na rin kung pwede pa ma-repair. A guy tested it and di na raw talaga pwede. Sealed din kasi kaya mahirap na i-repair. He suggested a universal actuator, and here's one of my misgivings. He had to scrape off part of the cable covering, and had to drill a hole to accommodate the replacement unit. Naisip ko na lang later I could have just shopped around for surplus orig mechanism from the shops or the banawe boys to maintain the OEM feel. Nabuksan na kasi yung pinto kaya napa-agree ako. Cost: P500

d. After Ondoy, di na rin gumagana ng tama yung dome light. It's either ON or OFF. Wala na yung door activated option. Jemson said module na raw yun kung sa iba, but he will just repair it na lang. Cost: P650

e. As I've said, mahirap din ikaw lang costumer, coz you sort of get targeted. An assistant offered to change the park light bulb to LED type, but even as I said next time na lang dahil marami na napagawa ko, kinabit pa rin. Okay na rin sana, but when I got to test it na last night, it became obvious it's more of an aesthetic change than a practical one. Sabi kasi mas maliwanag daw, but it seems mas maliwanag pa yung original rice bulb. Maganda lang talaga tingnan from head on. Cost: P300

f. Pinaayos ko na rin yung cigarette lighter lamp kasi di naman ako marunong magtanggal ng panel. P75 lang naman. Then, P700 accumulated total for labor charges.

All in all, it was still a very pleasant experience, except nga doon sa door actuator at sa park light bulb. Nawala kasi pagka-OEM nung isang door, and as I saw it, baka di rin magtatagal and napa-doble lang din gastos ko. About the park light, I just gave them the benefit of the doubt that they truly wanna help make my car better at least in the "looks" department. So far, okay din naman yung alarm installation except maximum sensitivity na yung shock sensor, pero level 1 pa rin yung alarm nya. Might ask Jemson to relocate the shock sensor na lang.

Verdict: Still Highly Recommended!!!

[OTEP]

Had the door actuator conversion done also on the old Benz because the pneumatic system broke and on the Urvan because only the tailgate has the power lock, yep, you need to splice into the harness and drill new mounting holes, but its been a few years on the Benz and everything still works. Keeping my fingers crossed. Hehe.

Dont mind the amuyongs and if they really bug you, tell jorge or jemsom to shoo them away or at least to talk to them not to sell you anything anymore. Last week while getting the ambulance tinted may dumating na banawe epal at binola bola yung isang customer na kasabay ko. Kesyo aalisin daw ang acid rain or whatever. Hindi ko naman mawarningan, bumigay din sa kakulitan nung epal, in the end, hindi naman gumanda yung paint niya and mahaba pa sa listahan ni san pedro ang mga palusot nung epal. Kesyo luma na, nindi naman daw kasama sa pinag usapan nila, etc.

Foglamp switches are available from hotrod near banawe cor n.roxas. Medyo mahal lang minsan pero orig naman. and yes, kinda flimsy ang Dlaa switch. Kaka kabit lang namin sa crosswind,

[OTEP]

Jemson refers to the diagram because the color coding of the wires are not standard and when he is looking for a certain wire, like the power lock trigger wire, he needs to check what color it is on the diagram. Usually power at ground lang ang standard ang kulay.

[gearhead000]

Doc Otep, kabisadong-kabisado mo talaga ah. Hihi. Ikaw na!!!

Well, I am also keeping my fingers crossed na tumagal pa yung substitute actuator. So far, kapag sa automatic lock/unlock, very responsive naman, and it opens and closes with a positive click. Pero kapag manual parang medyo mabigat. So I will just stick with the remote door lock/unlock. I am not so sure kung mga amuyongs talaga nandoon kahapon. One of the guys, the one who offered the park light bulbs, eh me hawak nung mga swatches ng tint nung una. So I was surprised nung kabitan na, katulong din sya pagkabit ng alarm and fog lights. The door actuator guy naman na naka-motorbike is actually the one who gathered the items for installation. Yung isa naman ang parang boy doon and di naman sya pumapel masyado.

And anyway, as I've said, I give them the benefit of the doubt they just wanna make my ride look better, as they are also offering me window rain gutter which is a practical item naman. Di ko lang talaga feel yun for my particular ride. So all in all, there was more positive than negative.... the latter is just sort of a minor heads up on what to expect para sa mga pupunta doon.

Add ko lang: Di naman pala mahirap hanapin pwesto ni Jemson at Mang Jorge. When in Banawe already coming from Q. Blvd., deretcho ka na lang past Orthopedic and past N.S. Amoranto St. Kapag nakita mo ang SOGO, malapit ka na. Start to look for their sign to your left already. You won't miss Jorge's radiator shop naman. Kapag dumating ka sa SOGO, lagpas ka na.

[OTEP]

Pag umabot sa Sogo, check in na? hehe.

[jimmy.sti40]

Doc Otep, gumagawa ba si Jemson ng mitsuba copy horn? lagi kasing nasisira yung horn pag nababad siya ng atleast 3 secs. i have it repaired twice pero hindi na bumalik yung dating tunog. hindi ko ma give up at gusto ko talaga yung mitsuba. hoping na maayos ni Jemsom to its original sound. thanks

[OTEP]

Pwede naman subukan pero can't guarantee anything. Yung Hella ko narepair na din nila. Ok pa naman.

[potpot2]

Meron na ba dito honda jazz nagpalagay ng alarm kay jemson?

[OTEP]

Alin pong model ng Jazz? Yung 2007 Jazz pinaulit ko yung wiring ng alarm na kinabit ng Honda Shaw kasi hindi ako masaya sa workmanship. Parang bullshit eh. Ang mahal pa ng singil ng Honda.

[potpot2]

Jazz 1.5 2010 model po. Kasi po dinala ko sa iba dati ayw galawin kasi iyon immobilizer daw baka hindi gumana

[OTEP]

Dalhin mo kay jemson. The immobilizer on my patrol still works naman even after he added a turbo timer and alarm system.

May mga installers talaga na hindi gano sure sa ginagawa nila kaya kahit mag offer ng free install yung pinagbibilan ko ng parts eh mas gusto ko pang magbayad na lang ke jemson,

Just like one of the previous posts in this thread. Hindi makabitan nung unang installer ng alarm yung Foton and sinisi pa ata yung brand. Nung ginawa ni jemson, wala naman daw pinag iba sa japanese car yung wiring.
