I have a 1998 TF Magna Advance. The remote that I have been using is now warn out, its distance that it unlocks is greatly reduced and the buttons are nearly broken. I have looked around at a few different places for new remotes but they are around the $100 mark.

I am now considering buying an Alarm kit and wiring this in? I do not know much about these, or where I wire them into. Is it a simple job? or am i better off getting my local car store like autobarn or tonkins to install it?

Any Advice on what I should do would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Matt

yer i lost my remote , and my spare doesnt work . i went and had a look around and im getting a mongose alarm system put in but apparently the guy said you can put it in your self just got to know what u are doing , so i looked at him and said " so haw much is instalation" but should'nt be that hard shorly.

Bump.

Any ideas to help me decide?

I pick up spare remotes from new car sales yards they seem to have boxes with the second keys and FOBs for cars they put through the trade. Just get one from there often free put a new battery in and reprogram it. Then with the saved money up grade your stereo.
