"Is an 'upgrade' suitable for my vehicle ?"
If your vehicle was manufactured after 1st January 2003 and has ‘rolling code’ remote
control of the vehicles central locking, then an 'upgrade' is the logical choice as you use
your existing remote to control the alarm.
"Which 'upgrade' should I choose ?"
Just answer this simple question:-
Is your vehicle already equipped with a factory fitted or 3 Star engine immobiliser ?
If the answer is ‘yes’, then you can select any upgrade from the table below.
If the answer is ‘no’ or ‘don’t know’, you must select a model which includes immobilisers.

Primary function is automatic engine immobilisation.
Alarm functions to trigger upon intrusions are optional.
• OEM remote controls to be of the random encryption (rolling code) type
• Automatic dual engine immobilisation
• Immobilisation to be within 20~40 seconds after the ignition is turned off – regardless of door position
• Where relays are used, minimum 8 amps, these are to be of the ‘normally open’ type
• Once disarmed, immobilisers must re-arm between 20~120 seconds if engine not started
• Setting may be achieved prior to automatic immobilisation by the use of the OEM remote interface or by manually locking the doors with a key when the engine is not running.
• Un-setting to be controlled by the vehicles electrical system such that it can only be unset by use of the OEM remote interface or the PIN override code.
• Optical status indicator (eg: dashboard LED)
• All primary wires to be black and any plugs/sockets for these shall be fully contained inside the security system housing
• Removal of a power or a ground shall not affect the safe operation of the vehicle nor disable the security product
• Shall be installed according to AS/NZS3749.2 1997
Optional
• Optical exterior signalling devices (eg: indicator or park light flash)
• A sounding device (eg: siren, meeting the requirements of 3749 frequency & decibel levels) – Mandatory to qualify as a 4 Star system
• System override, choice of following;
a) A code digital device inside the vehicle of no less than 10,000 codes
b) A remote controlled device which is randomly encrypted of not less than 2 million
codes (eg: rolling code remote)
c) A PIN of not less than 10,000 codes which should be randomly chosen for each system manufactured. There shall be no master PIN code
• Window warning stickers which does not identify the model of system
• Automatic re-lock, if fitted, must re-lock within 30~120 seconds after disarming if a door not opened
