Alarm Systems

The sad thread about the Burn't Beetle at Newy prompted me to think about putting an alarm on our ( My daughter's) L Bug that is currently undergoing some restoration/makeover.. Any recommendations? What are people's opinions on alarms..

Cheers

Bill

Hi Bill,

On my pickup I used an "Equator" immobiliser/alarm with rolling code remotes, engine immobiliser, shock sensor, LED warning and central locking actuation, bought as a kit from Jaycar. I then added in central locking on all three doors.

I am more than happy with this setup. The whole parts list (alarm and central locking) was less than $100, though you might not find that pricing.

Here's a link to a ($119) Jaycar unit which meets Australian Standards, so you might get an insurance discount:

Installation was quite straightforward; you don't need a Doctorate in electronic engineering; even I could do it.

Cool! Thanks for that!👍

i got a brant installed a few years ago after asking a similar question the thread should be on here still. even though im an electronic tech i let them install it as a po had done some wiring in it it only took the guy 4 hours to fit it.

I also got a Brant

Shannons approved and recommended.
I mainly got mine for insurance reasons.
