SA Car Electricians/Installers

[tails]

I've gotta get an Aus Standard immobiliser for the Galant. I'm only looking to spend about $200. I don't need some fancy alarm that sends me a fax when a bird shits on my car. I just want a standard immobiliser that disarms with a touch key or wireless transponder (I don't want to have to carry another buttoned key fob around).

Can anyone make any recommendations on local installers? I'm located in Richmond/North Plympton area, so the closer the better I suppose. Mobile installing would be great too so I don't have to skip work to get it done.

is that Hong Tran? If so I have used him a few times now. Really neat and a good price.

 

[J-B]

Yeah good old Hong

He used to work for Mitsubishi apparently too so he knows his way around them.

Thanks for that guys. Did some googling of him too and found some others that recommend him. I'll give him a call on Monday.

Just an update on this, I just spoke to Hong and it's booked in for Wednesday. Only $240 for the transponder style immobiliser. For comparisons sake, the RAA charge you $325 for the same thing!

Hong's a champion, he will have it installed in no time

What does he immobilise?
With security and audio, you can buy the best in the world, but if the install is of a low quality it is $$ wasted, and potentially the car.

Ask him to patch in further down the loom (not just at the ignition like everyone does) to slow theives down. Also ensure he immobilises not only the starter motor, but fuel pump also. Can go so far as to cut the crank angle also.

I'm pretty sure this is what he did with mine...
Twin Point Immobiliser - Starter Motor + Ignition (ECU, Fuel Pump, Ignitors)

As far as I know this is the system I'm getting

I'll ask him tomorrow as to what is actually immobilised. To be honest though, I'm pretty indifferent. As long as there is something there to meet insurance requirements as well as some kind of deterrent I'm happy. I've seen Gone in 60 Seconds; If Nick Cage wants a car, regardless of what's in it, he'll get it.

+1 to this.... heaps of 'professionals' only cut at the ingition switch... very easy to get past.

I'd be cutting power to fuel pump, and main ECU relay. CAS might work too, but i dont fancy the signal having to go through a set of relay contacts.
