rice_rocket Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I would usually do this myself, but I've started reading more on the subie and the wiring sounds a little more challenging. This is the first time I've seen diodes mentioned, and also it sounds like the trunk pop feature is a little different. Anyone know of.. or can do installs that are more comfortable with this? It's just slightly out of my own comfort zone and my laziness that I may not really need this. I just would love to inquire with someone and see what they'd want for their time/expertise. There's a number of alarms out there, but I don't really need anything fancy.. heck, I could even pick up one that I've done on a lot of cars.. just again, not so sure of how weird this subie wiring is going to be. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakgwai Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 place called aviboston in watertown/newton. great stuff. one of the owners(ken) drives a white WRX might be a lil on the pricey side thou website: http://www.aviboston.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rice_rocket Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yeah, that's the problem.. pricey. I know of a few people that do GREAT work.. unfortunately it'll leave me at minimum $600 into the hole.. which is exactly what I don't want. If I do all the hard work myself, a good alarm unit is around $200 for a 2 way pager with all the pieces I need. I don't need a spectacular unit with fancy gps or color cameras.... but labour costs are pretty high to put in the alarm. Part of the reason why I really wonder if this car "needs" it since it's so "normal". I really don't stand to lose much in terms of my car/investment if it gets stolen... but autostart in the winter is always nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 i think the chances of it getting stolen are pretty slim considering that it has an immobilzer? unless that can be easily overcome, but i don't know much about stealing cars. but break-ins are always a worry still and yes, autostart in the winter is handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rice_rocket Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yeah, I was just about to buy all the electronics and then I decided to pull up the wiring diagram for this LGT.. then I stopped for a sec when I saw it is a little more complicated than all the ones I've done before. I've heard weird things like they could still drive the car for XXX blocks or XXX time even with a dummy key, and some stories where it just doesn't even start.... So, yeah, autostart in winter is nice.... And theft deterrent a bonus. How's MD treating you? Funny cuz I saw your GF today when I was dropping something off at her work.
