Hi has anybody heard of Autowatch Australia,they do high end car alarms,has anybody purchased an alarm from them?
No, but just make sure... the alarm comforms to Australian Standards, as some insurance companies may give you a discount: NRMA - Securing your car I have a flashpoint alarm, but the other major brands are Cobra & Piranha to name a few: SUPERALARM Pty Ltd is division of Piranha Security
Autowatch Alarm Hi mate i only a few weeks ago installed one, i got the one with the inbuilt turbo timer and GSM pager adaptor (which i will eventually install) the alarm is top quality an meets Aus STD. I havent played around with the sensitivity to much but i wana make mine more sensitive to knocks on windows, the turbo timer is great disarms wen alarm is activated, wont turn on if the car hasnt ran 4 3min and you can turn it off from your remote if you wish, although with the z it will not allow you to take the key out wen running, thus defeats the purpose of a timer, altough im told you can get around it (any suggestions):unsure: I still havent got around to it yet. Basically is seems good and value for money,
I have had an Autowatch alarm for about 18 months. It works very well, except it's a real pain in the ass trying to get the cabin sensor adjusted properly. Too fine, and every time a loud exhaust goes by it sets it off. Too insensitive, and you can throw a brick through the window without it noticing. BTW, mine doesn't have any problem with removing the key, whilst the turbo-timer is on.
I just installed an Autowatch alarm a couple of weeks ago... ...and so far it has been great. I had it installed for $430 including window lifters(the guy used the existing actuators from the prevous alarm at no cost :thumbsup::thumbsup and microwave detector. Its also very loud when it goes off and it has been set up so that I can integrate an aftermarket turbo timer when I get around to it. Its insurance approved with all black wiring too which is always good.
Re: I just installed an Autowatch alarm a couple of weeks ago... I got the top of the range autowatch with built in turbo timer, microwave sensors, 3point immobilizer etc... installed for $470 with lifetime warranty. They came to me highly recommended, and i've had no troubles with it. The turbo timer is really easy to use, and I don't have to problem of leavin the key in. It complies with aus standards (black wiring etc..) and is recognised by insurance companies. Cheers
