just to let u guys know
the VE "dealer/factory" alarm upgrade isnt plug and play
it involves splicing into critical CANBUS wires, etc and can be quite risky and as others have found very buggy with going off randomly
also involves running wires to doors, boot, bonnet, etc for the switches
a company has just released a CANBUS plug and play system where it comes loaded with your cars information in the module (allows u to take alarm to next car if u sell and buy another one and programmed for the car u install it in)
only involves 2 wires to be spliced which arent critical and plugs into the CANBUS and monitors it.
has inputs for sensors to be added.
when u get holden to reprogram keys, modules, etc the alarm re learns the new paramters and adapts
pricing is pretty much similar to the holden system
i got the guy that did my custom stereo install to get me one for mine as i refused to have the VE upgrade ones on the market with the wiring that was needed....
so i will be getting it in mine with ultrasonics and tilt sensors in the next week or two!
cant wait :w00t:
