wahh.. yr car so many bling bling.. sure attract alot of onlookers.. later pple break in to steal yr bling bling.. how?

I am fortunate in that my car is normally parked at private car parks... kekkekee.....

hmm. if install a alarm, i was thinking to mod our stock sx remote, but it should void warranty right

No alarm?? I tot by default all cars will have an alarm system?

Normally... in contract for automobile, any tampering of OE equipments voids the warranty indefinitely. No need to think too much liao.. hehehe

Really? Fix alarm for the car will void the warranty?

Oh... paiseh.. bit mis-leading..
Tampering with the electronics, engine stuff inclusive.
Normally they will tell you if you include in option, the Dealer will honour ( do it outside anything happens that leads to failure of the car will NOT put them in any responsiblity) In a way is jus want you to get stuff from them la. =_=.....
Seldom i hear install alarm liao will kok up the whole car....

So tat's means i cannot fix alarm? then bro greatazoo's car warranty void huh??

can fix alarm lah..not an issue with warranty...there r many alarms out there in the market...

asking for recommendations mah..

Having alarm system is a good thing esp if u like to go touring with your car...
I think if having the alarm on both the car and key remote will be best.!~ At least u are aware if ppl tamper your car

tat's y must do a 2 way alarm mah..

I had been looking at various 2 ways alarm and so far ZMC 2 way alarm seem the more of the completed one and reasonable pricing and I had been talking and discussion with them this and that. And from what I'm been informed, ZMC told me that they are trying to work some good deal with our mod and offer special deal for us forte member.

So if you guy interested, maybe we can do a Mass order and try to get a good price.

my SE recommend me nt to install alarm lay. he had s few customers who go n install e alarm and hav prob with e car. i forget what prob liao but that wat he recommend me

So far I never see in forum or heard from anyone who install alarm the car got problem one lei...

Your SE trying to earn your $$ issit? You try ask your SE if ask him install for you how much.. I can bet he will try give you this price and maybe try offer you a discount and try asking you to install it.

lol! Alarm is really a safety. i should be getting 1 too.

I'd just book my car and understand from my SE the remote does not come with alarm and he will give me FOC. Try ask your SE for it.

my car is collecting tmr.. how can ask freebies after u signed on the dotted line?? anyway looking at ZMC alarm.. don quite like the design of the remote.. if it is something like bro greatazoo remote at ZMC price.. won't it be great?!!

My SE is giving me the Cheetah alarm, he say it's expensive type. Don't know how truth?? Did you heard of Cheetah alarm before??

lols ..

_|_

bro zoo remote is a 1 way remote... so totally different from a 2 way remote. If you go look around most of the 2 way remote look around the same as ZMC..

So far the best design 2 way remote that I saw is MMR-50. But the cost is coming to $500

2-way alarms are the way to go, just need to make sure you get a good shop to install it, based on user's recomendations. I had a lot of problems last time from my old car even with installation from the agent cause I think they are not experienced enough to do it.

i am quite keen.. well, is there warranty for the alarm? i wan to do flip keys leh.. can ZMC remote do into flip key?

wow, I do like the two-alarm remote, but come to think of it, I don't drive outside SG and I felt that SG is a safe country which a one way alarm will do. Remote battery no need to change so frequently also. That's why after consideration, i do the one-way alarm and save some money on accessories

haizz.. good things doesn't come smooth.. :-( I tink i do flip key will do.. then normal alarm..

If this remote can't attach the key, then how do we carry the key?
If this is the case, I will do a push/start buttom for the ignition then I no need to carry key liao

Well before the incident I will think the same as you but even since my dad car still gatta break in even he park in the multi story car park beside a walk way where quite a long of people will walk by.

I believe a good safety alarm is the way to go.

Lastly the most impt factor is weather the 2 ways alarm is durable or not. Yes I know the product have 1 yr warranty but warranty to me does not mean much cause if a product is durable and good even without warranty I have no worry. But if the product suck even give me 10 yr warranty after a few time the thing break down I will confirm turn it away.

So far I'm looking at MMR-50 which is korea make so for durable it is trustable. As for ZMC Spy which is China make I dont know it is durable or not.

I had seem already of good review on ZMC 2 ways alarm so think should be quite safe enough.

So comparing the kind of response I got from both company, so far ZMC seem more friendly and fast in reply.

Lastly the price and again ZMC win cause china product afterall is still cheaper then korea product.

errr... you mean like a metal ring or chain to hold the key? Then it's like downgrade the design of the remote.

hahaha.. i agree.. save $ way is just normal alarm intergrate into flip key.. cheap cheap

bro,, i dun noe who/where u get e price of e MMR-50. $500 is ex. ive check wif Soon Lee Audio House in Geylang n they quote me $350 for e alarm n charge $80 for installation wic takes bout 2hrs to instal. e shop ppl told me to look for a guy name Kelvin(supplier) for cheap price. last month there was diz promo for diz particular group buy n diz group pay only $350 including installation. $350 for a 2 way car alarm made in korea n using US technology is dirt cheap.

bro... you already say 350 + 80 = $430 which is coming to $500 as I mention. If $350 include installation then maybe can consider. But don't forget they are still ex cause why, the package only come with 1 remote with display and another remote without any display.

Which forum offer this group buy? i am keen leh.. cheap n good.

I suggest you guys buy 2 way remote with a range further than 3km. 1-2km range remote can display in glass cabinet if your carpark is far or you live in high floor or your area has alot of big trees blocking direct visual of the carpark. Status of car will not be updated in your remote which defeats the purpose of the 2 way alarm.

Any recommendations or some brands that u had installed?

Did not install this but friends kept talking abt pageguard and crimestopper.

Could try this link below. Range is ~5km

my previous 2 ways remote USA brand but made in China....very good range...I park at MSCP but stay 16th Storey, remote on the study desk, when kana, still can receive alert....I think the brand call Eco or something like dat....

this is very useful when someone drive his car and had an accident with ur car.

just to clear the air with the info i got from my se ,
they didnt bluff our money if the se said there is no push start button, the advertisement wasnt from SG. The push start button is only for 2 liters without sunroof. C&C SG decided to take in sunroof over the push start.
