Just curious how many Latio owners here install car alarm. ::)
-
I just got the alarm from Tan Chong for $158 3 days ago when doing my 3rd servicing.
I like the autolock feature when brake is depress and unlock when ignition off.

I got mine from SE....there is a slight problem...everytime i reverse the gear...i get two continuous "beeping" sound, one from the car reverse mode, another from the reverse sensor...do everyone here has this same "sense-surround-sound" experience also?

I don't think this has got to do with the alarm. I learnt to filter off the reverse mode beep mentally, so not mush a problem for me.

hi chinmeng,
wat r the features for the car alarm u installed from TC?
Does it have autolock when u start the engine?
I can't find any info on it on the TC webpages :unsure:
I'm thinking of installing in too :bleh:
-
Features of TCM Alarm system
1) Car Search & Panic Activation;
2) Lock and Unlock Function;
3) Use Original I-key as Remote Control;
4) Rear Boot Lock Security Function;
5) Car Horn Function as Alarm ;
Yes, it can autolock when u start engine and auto unlock when you off engine, no need to lock/unlock the door manaully
When u go to the service center, just ask them and they will tell you
Cheers

I installed the alarm in UBI today during my 1K free servicing-$156
I like the auto lock & unlocked fuction. :thumbsup:
-
Does this Car Alarm have Anti-Thief function, since it's called car alarm?
I only knew that Latio doesn't come with a loud alarm to help locate car when I collect my car.
My SE told me that car alarm is not necessary because our Latio has immobilizer.
But now, I often have problem to find my car especially in big car parks. So, I'll install it in next service.

Latio alarm-$156 come with car search function!!!. Press the I-key lock button twice wll trigger the search function. If someone unlock the door without I-Key, will activate the alarm as well. It uses car horn function as alarm. VERY VERY LOUD..... :blink:

Hi lsls, Thank you very much for the info!
leclub, wow, you have many i-Keys? I guess just one i-key is enough. They should be able to just mod at the receiver side, no need to config i-Key.
-
looks like I got to bring all my i-keys and spare key to configure the alarm :smile:
You don't have to bring the spare key along. There is no programming needed. The alarm works only with I-Key not the spare key given to you when you collect your car. The alarm is a addon to the existing system.

Oh izit :bleh:

Save me the trouble... (i got 2 i-keys, one for myself and the other for OC, however OC doesn't seem to carry it nowadays :D)

4) Rear Boot Lock Security Function :confused1:
Our Latio doesn't have a rear boot lever in the driver seat like other cars :ohmy:

Yipee, installed my alarm liao :bleh:
However TC dun provide a manual on how to adjust it :blink:
It was installed with the car horn beeping evertime I lock/unlock the vehicle.
A bit irritating...
I ask the technician to turn it off. He switch on & off the car for 5x to set it off :thumbsup:
Now back to normal liao.
Wonder if there is any other settings that I can play wif :unsure:

Just installed car alarm at TC Lok Yang this morning Took 3 hours. After that, as pre-arranged with bro Vypez some days back, I quickly went down to his shop to seek help to turn off the car horn for lock/unlock as I am flying overseas tomorrow. No choice as my non-stock car horn is quite "loud" ::)
Met a few Latio bros there and have a good time chatting away while bro Vypez and Fred were busy sweating with the few assignments on hand with the cars. It is like a mini Latio meetup :D
Anyway, thanks to bro Vypez and Fred for helping me to turn off the car horn for lock/unlock with the car alarm horning still intact. And also fixing the right side mirror auto tilting which was actually spoilt by TC technician on doing the car alarm. Great service! Thanks! :thumbsup:
-
Can I check if this car alarm will auto lock if the engine is off and the smart key is not within reach? Again I left the car unlock while I was eating at Hong Cafe at Upper East Coast Road... haiz...
-
For your case, how long did TC install the alarm? Which one did you go to? Ubi?
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 ;)

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:
-
::) guys ... I got my alarm from TC in UBI, the SE quote me $130. Those tat wanna install can try to bargain for it.

install the Viper Car Alarm, just a slight knock ' Viper Alarm Activated, Please Stand Back' hehe, sometimes i feel got alarm also no good leh, wait scarli go shopping morning, then alarm sound (due to unforseen circumstances), evening come back must look for people to jumpstart the car already..
Wonder Immobliser and alarm whats the diff? Coz i check with my SE, she said my car is using immobliser but no alarm.. depress brake car wont autolock :crycry:
-

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 ?
-

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.

No additional button. To activate search, press lock button on ikey twice quickly.
Can switch between horn and original beep when locking/unlocking. Horn will still go off when in search mode or alarm triggered.
Range is same as when using ikey as remote.
-

No additional remote. All functions using original ikey. I installed mine at Lok Yang about a month back
The additional remote one is older model or crimestopper OEM model.

I self installed a crimestopper CS2002 in my jeep before and it has that function. It self locks the car after ignition is turned off and door openned and closed after 30sec. Down side is when installed in our cars, you will have another remote. I think it has a OEM trigger input so that it takes arm/disarm signal from our inbuilt system (no need for separate remote) but I am not too sure.

Hi, just to check.
If I am walking back to the car, means I have to press the Ikey button to disable the alarm right? Means I will lose the convenience that Ikey gives me (No need to press button to unlock door).
Thanks
-
yah... its gonna be a chore if we gotta use iKey to disable the alarm... :unsure:
