Security, suggestions for alarm, immobiliser and maybe gps tracker

[Phoenix]

Hey all,

Just got my dream 75 Stingray, it currently comes with its very aged key operated alarm system that makes a weird ticking sound when activated.

I want to get a top notch security system, have been looking at Cobra and Viper systems, can anyone provide suggestions or if they have had experience with either. Any feedback appreciated or suggestions of other systems. Especially want to get a decent immobiliser.

Cheers,

P.

I went to Strathfield car radios for my 924, less than $300 and it immobilisers, locks, remote entry. Windows up down optional, if possible.

Yes if you have central locking then remote entry is very worth the extra effort.

Jaycar have all the bits if you want to do it your self. All the immobilisers I have seen fitted to vets the wiring at the bottom of steering column is chopped up with  crook joints & bodgy wiring. Not real hard to bypass when they cut the wire to splice in the immobiliser & leave the 2 ends side by side.

To be on the safe side check with your insurer.  Some have conditions regarding 'approved' security system.

Bit late coming in on this one, but the biggest thing as to the success of any alarm system is installation. The deeper you can tie it into the loom and bury it in the dash, the harder it will be to bypass. A loud battery backed up siren in the dash is likely to help dissuade them too. Of course, jumpering a few wires will bypass the immobilisation on a carb and dizzy car anyway... It all depends on what you're looking to achieve. Putting the dizzy rotor in your pocket will stop anyone stealing it without towing it, and is free and easy. If you want the ability to track it, a hidden prepaid mobile with a permanent power supply and a tracking app is an effective and cost friendly option that's less likely to be disabled by a thief (as they don't know it's there, unlike an alarm system).

Just my thoughts anyway.
