Mr Mongoose did the job quite nicely for us this morning.
Scuzzballs removed grill of HQ Ute to get under bonnet at 5am. Fortunately, the additional door sensor added to front of bonnet set off alarm, which set miserable gits packing. Neighbour saw |

I've read up on the alarm (one being talked about in this post), i would agree with CUT55, i rekon you could bypass it by clutch starting it... Maybe they should have included that in their website - no mention of it at all there!!
Don't bag the UC, i

It's probably aimed more at the newer car market where the vast majority are auto.
No great help for those of us who want to think for ourselves when driving though!
I had a read of the site & they are very cagey about how it works. Surely you can |
Cheers,
Mick

Yeah 'nut, it cant be foolproof unless it cuts your entire engine relay wiring and/or ignition system too once tampered with... There's gotta be a catch 22!
Don't bag the UC, it might just be the car that kicks ur ass!!

I also emailed these guys with the same question and here is the response
Hi Darren,
Thank you for your interest in Power Lock.
For manual vehicles the Power Lock module has a circuit cut to the fuel pump and is also linked to the ignition so if

I sell a kit which installs easily and can work in conjunction with your alarm or as a standalone. It sends you an SMS message to your phone if any of the inputs are triggered such as door opening or an alarm input. It also has outputs, say if you want to

Cheers,

Any one else wonder if the Scott who repied to Munromad is the same Scott who started this thread.
As far as I can tell this unit does not do anything other systems don't.
I had a system in my HQ and also I had a length of 3/8" chain that I wrapped ar

Frank, if you are referring to me (Paul), the kit is not certified and I don't have a website. It is just a kit I put together myself and I dont mass-market it, so it is built to order. It uses FBUS from a Nokia Mobile to send and receive commands using a

Whats wrong with you guys? This immobiliser sounds like a biiiig step in the right direction. Rather then just cutting a few ignition lines with a relay like all the other immobilisers that you can just rip out, here is something much more difficult to st

At the end of the day, it is effort vs return for the scuzzballs. If it is a joyrider, anything making it lookk awkward will probably deter. If it is a pro stealing to order, nothing will deter. It is the ones in the middle that you are having to secon |

OK Scott, now I've been upfront, how about you admit you are the OP touting
for business, as well as SkylineKing as well as Oliver as well as the Scott who
emailed me with an enquiry? Fact is most of us aren't dumb enough to fall for obvious shills.
