Re: New car alarm Reply #30 – December 24, 2004, 12:37:46 AM :) Here ya go, just took a quick picture. got kinda in a hurry to finish up today, didn't wanna be late for work. Only had 3 major problems installing it. First one I had when it didn't wanna remote start, (Instead of hooking up the neutral safty switch I just grounded the lead) My ground came loose. 2nd problem was when I put the steering collum cover back on, I moved the transponder bypass by accedent, (that thing has to be right up next to the PATS modual to work) Then for some reason the way I had the bypass wired the transponder from it was messing up the signal from the key, So I couldn't start it with the key! (the directions said to supply 12 volt power and hook the ground up to a switched sourse crom the alarm modual, For some reason the sourse was supplying ground all the time, So I grounded the negative lead and ran the positive lead to 12 volt ignition. and that fixed the problem. Now it works great! Quote Selected
Re: New car alarm Reply #31 – December 24, 2004, 12:42:02 AM Oh and before anyone says it, yes I know that the way I wired the PATS bypass completly bypasses the modual. I figured screw it sence the alarm has a start disable built into it. :) Quote Selected

Re: New car alarm Reply #34 – December 29, 2004, 12:28:34 AM Well I'm jealous The first thing I did when I bought my '87 back in 1992 was get an alarm...in this case an Alpine 8030-B. The thing's so old you program the remotes with DIP switches I don't know how long you plan on keeping the car, but make sure that you pick an alarm where you can easily get replacement remotes if (when) you need them. I find that I have to search far and wide for mine anymore, even though it's a name brand (though back in the day getting them was a snap).It looks like a nice alarm, though, and for a good price. Mine has half the features (if that) and cost me $500 at the time. The more expensive ones were $750, but the salesman was really cool about it...once I told him I had a T-Bird and not a Vette or something he was pretty adamant at what features I *didn't* need to buy...anywhere else probably would have fired him I can't believe that you've had three attempts to steal it this year. I live a stone's throw from Philly and the only time my alarm gets set off is when a tennis ball hits it or something because someone's kid was playing outside. Quote Selected
Re: New car alarm Reply #35 – December 29, 2004, 02:54:18 PM Well, Its a small town but we seem to have alot of stereo theives around. And being a small town everyone pretty much knows me and they've seen and heard my car go down the road. So they know I've got something worth stealing. But still what I can't figure. They try to get in with a coathanger! If I was gonna do it, I'd take the porsilin off of a spark plug and pitch it through the window, then take what I want! I just don't know why they waiste their time. Quote Selected

Re: New car alarm Reply #37 – January 02, 2005, 03:19:48 AM Yep, sure does. It makes almost no sound when it hits, thats the whole point behind it. BTW: I finaly caught my theif! His dumbass set the alarm off last night while I was on the computer. So I jumped out the window with my swords. (fell in the mud on my way out though, I was kinda drunk) But I caught the . Red handed with a coat hanger, It was a friend of mine! Not like one of my best friends or anything, but someone I thought I could trust. I told him to get lost and never talk to me again! I know exactly what he wanted, he wanted to sell my stuff to get crank! But I put a stop to that, I got ahold of a few people today, drug dealers, (no, I dont do drugs) I let them know what happend. Turns out, one of my friends suspected the guy of stealing some drugs and his PS2 and a bunch of games. So right now, he's pretty much cut off. Basicly what they did was put the word out that he was a snitch. So not too many people are gonna be selling to him! You know what sucks, not only was I pissed that it was a friend of mine, but I was realy looking forward to beating someone's ass for messing with my car. And I probably should have done it anyway. But I was just so suprised at who it was. a few weeks ago he told me he'd keep an ear out for anyone bragging about ripping me off! Quote Selected
