L series alarm system and fitment

Post by Cliff R » Sat Sep 29, 2012 1:41 pm

Can anyone recommend an alarm system to go into an L series.
Also, when installing an alarm, I would imagine breaking into the circuits for the electric fuel pump and the run on solenoid on the carby would te the go.
I think these may be off the same circuit though so is there a better place to apply an alarm

As there are several types available - ( I've used python / DAE ) it's best to do a search for them on-line & hopefully it will help to sort out your best option.

Budget wise, you'd be starting with cheaper kits about the $50 mark - then ranging up to top of the line stuff ( with satelite tracking etc ) ... $1,000 +

It mostly depends on whether you are planing to do it yourself, or have someone install it for you ... :?:

Doing it yourself is obviously cheaper, but if you don't know what you doing it can cause headache's later on ... :(

So set youself a budget and determine your best option, someone on here 'may be' able to help with the install - Check here first if you chose that route ... :p

Let us know how it goes ... :D

As a 3 point immobiliser, you are better off interrupting the ignition primary circuit, the starter circuit and fuel pump as the 3rd option.

The first 2 will give no crank AND no start.

Thanks for the info, I intend to fit things myself as with time I can trace wiring no issues.
I will do some more net searching as suggested.
I think 2 + sources of disconnection such as fuel pump and coil so I will see how I go

I've used the ADR'd shadow immobiliser without the add-on alarm side of things and I've been very happy with the results.

Don't go with one that has coloured wiring, all black/same colour wiring is the go ;)
