[Coomer]

Cool. Do you have any install photos?

[94celicadude]

sweet action!..i want one...but im broke..lol

[hurley97]

actually it looks like the plate on the skyline is from VA. that was taken at Bimmerfest East about 2 years ago.


we actually do not have any photos of the installation process. it was really cold and just wanted to get it done but if anyone wants I can take a pic of it already installed, although I think Dustin already has one from his trunk


$15 off eBay

[My2Celi]

yea it is i've seen it around here before

[hurley97]

I love it. I always forget if I locked the car or not so its really nice that it tells me. has great range too

its also nice when it tells you that the shock sensor is going off and you can go stand next to your car and watch the person who can't parallel park so they try harder not to hit it

lol steff i like your signature, newport video
LMAO

nice install

got a link to where you can buy the actuator? you just wire it into your aux input on your alarms brain, right?

basicly yes. If your output is positive then your fine, but if your output is negative you need to wire in a relay to change the polarity of the current.

I bought mine from a site online a while back, Steff got hers from ebay. They were the same set for around $15-$20 shipped. The acuator is rated to about 10lbs which is just good and fine but honestly I would try to get one rated higher.

haha, you recognized it



Code Alarm CA-160 $119 shipped from ebay.
Code Alarm TKRS1 Trunk Release Solenoid $15 shipped from ebay.
the alarm has a fuse to make the trunk release positive or negative. put a fuse in the positive side so no relay needed.

[Celiracer18]

looks good
BTW what alarm is that?

[hurley97]

Code Alarm CA-160
Advanced Two-Way Command Confirming Vehicle Security with Enhanced Keyless Entry

it went for about $150 on eBay. maybe a little less now.
I got mine from the seller caraudioshoppe for $119 shipped since I ordered something else and they made a mistake so they offered to send me the upgraded alarm at no extra charge.

i haven't heard of that brand b4, but then again i'm in Aus, was wondering how does it perform and any problems so far and how good is it compared to the Viper 791? i might plan to get it later down the track

[jcbass7]

haha, you recognized it

Haha yea didn't take me long either, i drive by that everytime i leave base.

Never been in there though lol come on I live on a Navy Base, I don't think there is a person on base that hasn't been in there

its a subsidiary of Audiovox. I like it a lot so far, it has great range. it has a shock sensor and starter disable, the remote has a bunch of features you can access using combinations of buttons (like parking meter countdown, interior temp, alarm clock)

haha, yeah I didn't realize how close it was to you. we went in... we were trying to make the other guy there feel uncomfortable, he was probably from the base lol

[elvasoshexai]
