_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 yes always good to price up doing it yourself before you make a claim. Even if it is only $50 or $100 more than your excess to do it yourself, usually a good idea to keep your premiums down in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2074 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 If you want a Cyclops that is installed correctly talk to Brendan at Hope Hickman Auto Electrical. They are up the top of Nelson St in the CBD. He is also the one that hates AVS alarms for various reasons. He is a good mate of mine and does a lot of work for Bimmersport members and BMW race series competitors.

BigPoppa 9 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 I've had a autowatch in my Forrie. I know people have attempted to steal it at least once and failed. I'm pretty happy with it, would recommend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berjjj 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2013 As mentioned above, the alarm is only ever as good as the installer. Find one (installer that is) with a good reputation and you're set. Otherwise, all brands are fairly similar and opinions vary on all of them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yng_750 247 Report post Posted October 31, 2013 probably getting in abit late but considering that everyone ignores alarms they are good to stop the car being stolen but nothing can stop the smash and grab of personal belongings. only protection is to take everything out of the car.
