i dun like the sound of horn leh .........

According to the BT svc guy, u can connect the car alarm to another horn.
He said oni Ubi svc centre sells & install additional horn.
Can choose a horn with a diff sound or music ma  :bleh:

yeah, i agree, the sound of the horn pretty loud & annoying  :zipped:

bro, got a easier way to solve this.

i installed a led scanner on my dash to show that when i lock, it starts blinking.

when i dont, it doesn't light up. pretty neat device and it helps too. maybe you can consider this too.

cheers.

hi vypez,

i am thinking of installing this also...
but on 2nd thoughts, i am thinking will this help?  :confused1:
because the fact that you forget to lock will also means u forget to check whether it is locked, in other words, you will might not check if the LED lights or not. :crying:

having said that, if you remember to check if the LED lights or not,
then you will remember to check if u lock ur door by just trying to open the door to check, or if u are distance away from the car, can just press the remote to lock again to make sure.

i think best will be auto-lock the door after say abt 30sec you off engine and close all door and key is not inside the car.
got such device?  :confused1:

Bro, imagine your ikey battery's flat or you use standby key (not RF one) and it's left inside the car. And you off engine, close the door and go out of the car and talk to some one just for 30s, then you kena liao.
although it's rare but there's still a potential danger here. I heard from my friend that this thing really ever happened on some old car.

Is the TCM alarm integrated into our iKey? Meaning they'll install the additional button in our iKey for search mode?

So we can disable the alarm locking/un-locking sound but still keep the search mode sound?

How's the range of the alarm like? as short as our iKey detection range ?

I went to the Bkt Timah branch around 2.30pm
The service person says luckily the installer guy was there already. So can fix on the spot.
Otherwise need to call that guy to come down. Probably they outsource the service ba.
With service & alarm installation, BT manage to call me at 6pm to collect my car.

No manual given  :(
so u better ask the service guy to demo when you collect your car  :bleh:
They can ask other service engineer to attend to you if you wan certain feature changed  ;)

TC actually outsources the fixing of car alarm to 3rd party. The car alarm they used is Wheels. This is what I was told when I asked about the alarm at Toa Payoh Service Centre. Paying $156 for Wheels alarm I feel that it is not worth. Just my 2 cents.

but one bro here actually claimed it's a good deal for $156.

was told that u will have 2 sets. 1 for i-key, another for the independent alarm... anyone can confirm on this? Astro? fido?
