i am installing my alarm on my car and it has a knock sensor so it has to be level etc...
anyway, i have put all the wires and everything in, 2 for central locking to make it remote, 3 sensor wires and diodes (boot, door, hood), and i am going to wire up the immobiliser a bit later when i have alot more time, but heres the thing, i have a couple of ideas where to place the actual alarm, but i dont want to do something i'll regret.

I was just wondering where people have put theirs, had theirs installed, or where the stock on is. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

note:- i have a 2nd gen and i didnt know where to post this and i thought people who know
about car audio might know something about this, maybe.
- i am kind of in a hurry as i am back at school and there are some kids in year 11 who
think they are gangster hardcore dickheads, because most dont have cars they dont
understand how expensive everything is and how much you care about your car etc...
amazing thing is i am only worried about this this year and not about my TER so much
(i am in year 12):nuts: i'll worry about my TER after i get this installed.

Fitting the brain either behind the glovebox, or heater controls is good, no one will ever find it and you can run the wires along the factory wiring looms which run along the lateral support beam. Zip tie the brain tightly onto a main wiring harness so that the shock sensor picks up movement in the whole car.

i was gonna bolt it on......:doubt: :confused:
still trying to see (pics) where ppl have theres first

hmm I was going to buy an alarm system and have a go an installing it myself..but now im not so sure :S

its ez, except the placement for the actual alarm, if its a 2nd gen then wait for me to get mine in and i'll tell you where i put mine, its as easy as car audio as long as you know some things about eletronics

sidewinder, ill get on msn in about 90 minutes and ill send you a PDF of a wiring diagram for an alram i was going to get, this will help you determine weather or not you will be capable of doing it.

CRAP, i just remebered my front doors a sealed now how the hell am i going to get in!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo.

bugger! did'nt even realise that :rant:

good on ya dave for giving it a go, make sure you do a nice long write up on it:D
also CAA have a section for this so you can get some ideas/problem resoultions/tips from there too

i can get an alarm from autobarn for about 70 bucks..how liekly is this to have the door, bonnet and boot sensors?

what exactly will i get with your average budget system? I plan to get an alarm considering the amount im about to go spend on audio...plus i want keyless entry

i got my system for $50 or under from dick smiths, it doesnt have remote central locking unless you have central locking already installed in your car, then i can tell you how to hook it up.

eh sombody from here was going to post me an alarm system
but i guess they have been too busy the last 3-4 months :doubt:

Ive alreay got central locking, but no remote..will that give me remote central locking?

yes, i will explain it more if you pm your msn name to me.

should be in my sig :P

heres pics of my alarm

did you buy it just becuase of the chick on the box?
jellico...ill send you the wiring diagram of a mongoose M60 alarm...

yes i spent $50 for an alarm because there was a chick on the box...............................wrong!!!
it was cheap, has boot sensor, door sensor, hood sensor, knock sensor, remote central locking, and i think something else
