Hi All,
just wondering if people could recommend alarms/central locking for round nose mini's!
experiences, price, places you went, people who did a tidy install?
any help would be awesome! thanks,
- tom

I only know of 1 person on hrere who has installed a central locking kit.

Not easy I believe.......after all, these cars are 40ish years old!!

i dunno! that's why i was posting really i was hoping to get some peoples opions of good alarms, bad alarms and where they've had theirs installed etc...

ive been looking around and viper seem pretty solid or black widow... i dunno a decent place that would do the alarm install! like supercrap and autobahn and all those places but some people havent liked the installs they recieved there (each to their own aka please dont delete this post)

I've spent the half the morning looking for a car alarm installation place. I'm after a car alarm that a) complies to Australian standards with a 2 point immobiliser and b) comes with a digital (not mercury) tilt sensor because a) in case Shannons require me to fit alarm that complies in future and b) in case some fools decide to try to pick my car up.

I found a piranha dealer around the corner from h0nk in Redfern, seemed to know what he was doing and a nice guy except for the Mr Bean cracks . $599 fully installed with boot and bonnet sensors, sonic detector (in case someone bangs the car), all black wiring, back up battery and 2 remotes. For a similar alarm that doesn't comply with Australian Standards, $399.

I then went through a variety of sparkies who weren't much help until I found one in Rosebery that installed Rhino alarms. Basically the same as above for an Australian standards alarm for $400.

Does anybody have any experience with any brand of alarm that they can help out with?
