car security alarm system by TC?

[Silver]

can set the unlocking to beep beep while search car and break in as car horn??? anybody here installed it already? is the car horn sounding continuous or intermittent...??

as mentioned in my post, can set arm/disarm (lock/unlock) as original "beep/beep beep"
when searching for car or if there is a break-in, the car horn will sound

can demonstrate to you if you want .......
just PM me

Yup, i got it installed. When u lock or unlock, it's 1 honk or 2 honks. Not continuous. Dun worry. 

hmm... ok thanks...what about when break in and car search? will the horn be continuous or intermittent?

[Silver]

like the usual alarms ---> horn blaring away continuously

[MadMatty]

huh...u mean no alarm for our latio
even my inexpensive korean car include alarm when i brought from komoco.
which i dun undersatnd y TCM could not afford to include a alarm system when we are paying so much.

yup TCM claims with immobilizer the need for alarm is redundant...since whoever broke into car will not be able to drive the car away...but frankly with an alarm does it really help?

how often have one heard an alarm going off only to brush it off as a nuisance and in particular if one parks one car in a multi storey car park. will you know that your car been broken into?

Not true... depends on how much you value your car? The alarm serves as a deterrent... yes agree that it is irritating but that is the whole point isn't it?

fyi, setting the arm/disarm (lock/unlock) sound as the original "beep/beep beep" (soft) or using the horn (loud) can be done by vehicle owner and can be changed easily at any time (instruction given)

Hi, is this mentioned in the manual instruction?  (Never read la.) Which page huh?  If set to horn sound, is it horn once for lock and horn twice for unlock?  I do find the beep too soft when in open car park.

[Silver]

not in owner's manual

was stated on a piece of paper when I collected the car after the alarm was installed

you are absolutely right
horn once for lock (arm) and
horn twice for unlock (disarm)

can scare the wits out of pedestrians as the walk in front of your car when you disarm the alarm

I see.  Thanks, Bro.  That means got to be carefully not to disarm when old folks walk pass your car.  In case they got weak heart.

exactly
after a few months of using the horn as indicator, I had just switched back to the original "beep"
I will monitor and decide which "tone" is better

so, yours is set to original "beep"?
if you want to change to the horn, please let me know

btw, you can always change it back and forth at anytime

Yup, u are exactly right! Especially since i changed my horns to the really loud ones.  Do u mind sharing how to change to the beeping sound? Coz my SE told me this was not possible. Thanks!

But u know what? i reckon if the alarm ever goes off, my honking sound might get more attention compared to the usual alarm sounds. So i'm actually very happy with the alarm!

here goes :

to enable original "beep" sound
disarm the alarm
open the door (and leave it open)
turn the ignition key "on" and "off" 5 times (but not cranking the starter motor)
horn will sound once and hazard light will flash once


to disable original "beep" sound
disarm the alarm
open the door (and leave it open)
turn the ignition key "on" and "off" 5 times (but not cranking the starter motor)
"beep" sound will be disabled, the hazard light will flash twice

No la, Bro.  I have yet to install alarm.  Not sure whether necessary to install alarm or not leh.

To me the alarm serves as a mean to catch ppl's attention when your car is being tampered with or broken into (for your stylo HU or cash card or your lappy that you carelessly left on the seat).

Not so much for stealing of the vehicle, especially in Sg.

Thanks for the tip!

Maybe the moderators can make that a sticky for everyone's easy access?

[Silver]

you are most welcome

hope you have fun deciding on the settings

If you wish, I can make a copy of the instruction sheet and pass it to you if you are coming to the next meet-up

Problem is most of us stays in HDB and park car in multistorey carpark...we can hardly hear the alarm except those that stays near the car park who in most case would probably be cursing and swearing at the nuisance rather then calling up the police to look into it...wouldn't it better to install a alarm that notifies the owner immediately through the mobile or house phone..?

Hi,for those who have installed TC alarm- can you advise me whether there is a light inidcator on the front of the car?

Bros, pls take note. this type of alarm will only goes off if the doors are force opened, if the glasses are broken into, it will not sound off.
