Sydney Car Alarm installer for Paseo

[davesyd]

Hi Everyone,

I bought a car alarm system from JayCar and tried to install it in my 92 Paseo with no luck.
I have all the wiring diagrams but the job looks a bit above my head. I called a few auto electricians around Sydney and none are willing to install the system for me.

Anyone on the forum know how to install car alarms ($$$) or would be able to recommend someone??

Thanks,
Dave

Why wont auto elecs install it?

[davesyd]

they won't touch it cause its not a system bought from them.........

[CrAiGzEE]

sideshow will probably do it for you at a pretty reasonable price

[Cuzzo]

I highly doubt it.

Get a decent alarm to start off with.

[oldcorollas]

and you would recommend?

[Cuzzo]

I recommend Rhino alarms

Installed by rhino with warranty.

Then get an auto elec mate/friend to change a bit to make it a one-off install.

depends which jaycar alarm. they are ok though

i installed a shadow in my car and have been very happy with it.

Your asking an auto elec to fix a 1/2 installed Jaycar alarm in unknown condition.
If i were an auto elec, i would turn you down to unless i was really desperate for work... could turn into a huge headache.

Good luck
Try fixing it yourself further.
If no go, pull it all out, throw it in the bin and buy an installed system from an auto elec.

im an auto elec and ill do it for you for $180. Time is money these days that is why auto elecs dont wanna do it because it takes too long to do. You can take it to strathfield get it done in half the time at half the quality for a cheaper price.

today was my last attempt of installing the alarm.... so far so good. about 95% done.

too late now to continue working on it cause the siren is way too loud. i have to wire in the relay than i'm done


thanks for the offer Kebin, i'll let you know if i have any problems...

Sucks to be the 5th owner of the car after you, good luck diagnosing

[davesyd]

finished the install today! very happy with the alarm.

next time i might not buy a DIY alarm unless i have the time to do it.

[Kebin]

also next time get a rhino... easiest alarm to wire up

I installed a black-wired Mongoose alarm in my Paseo by torchlight We really have EASY car to work on, all the wires are there and follow the same colour scheme as basically every single Toyota from that era.
