Frequently Asked Questions
Car Alarm FAQs:
1. Is this suitable for my car?
These units are designed to be universal, to fit any vehicle and be compatible with all manufacturers. Although we cannot say with 100% certainty they will fit your car, we have sold hundreds of these kits and have yet to find a car they don't work on. Not suitable for cars that have an immobiliser chip in the key without a 'bypass' module.
2. Is this unit easy to install?
There are instructions and a wiring diagram included with the kit, however it will involve a lot of wiring and if you have no experience of fitting such equipment we would definitely recommend you take it to an auto electrician.
3. Does this include Central Locking?
No. The alarm is fully central locking compatible, meaning you will be able to fully control your existing central locking from the alarm's key fob remote after installation, but the kit does not include a central locking kit.
4. Does this come with a warranty?
Yes. Everything we sell has a full 12 month warranty. Any faulty product is replaced and in the unlikely event we cannot replace it, we will issue a refund.
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the complexity of this item, units will only be accepted as faulty if they have been fitted by a qualified and recognized alarm fitting service, and are returned with a fault report completed by an engineer.
Parking Sensors FAQs:
1. How easy is it to fit?
The system is pre-wired and ready to plug together, the system requires only two connections to the vehicle (1) Reversing light (2) Earth.
2. Do I need to drill any holes in my car?
Yes, the system includes a drill bit suitable for plastic and fibreglass. see the below images for a brief guide of what needs to be done.
3. What type of objects can the systems detect?
Our Parking Sensor System can accurately detect still and moving objects such as street curbs, garage walls, posts, vehicles, children, toys, pets, which are at the rear of your vehicle whilst you are reversing.
4. Will the system drain the battery of my vehicle?
NO. The four rear sensors are only activated when you put your vehicle in reverse. Therefore, the system will only consume about 3 - 4 watts of the battery power. This is only about 1/10 to 1/8 of the power consumed by your vehicle's radio or stereo.
5. Do the ultrasonic reversing sensors work in adverse weather conditions?
The ultrasonic reversing sensors will function in all weather conditions. The working temperature range of the system is - 30C to + 80C, allowing the system to work well in different seasons and places of the world.
Note: because the system uses ultrasonic wave to detect obstacles, it may give false alert in heavy falling rain or snow and if covered in frost. The surface of sensors must be kept clean of snow, mud, dirt, and other debris.
6. Does the system require any maintenance?
The surface of the sensors has to be kept clean and free from snow, frost, mud, dirt, and other debris.
7. What is included with the kit?
Our Reversing Sensor Kit includes everything you need to install the system successfully, i.e Central control processor, 4 recessed sensors, internal buzzer, hole saw for drilling sensor holes, installation instructions and a 12 month warranty.
8. How do I determine the mounting position for the sensors on the bumpers?
To avoid false alert because of the sensors picking up the ground, they should be mounted between 20" to 32" (50 - 80 cm) above ground level. Horizontally, the sensors should be spaced equally across the bumper. The outer two sensors should be mounted about 15cm (5.9") from the corner of the bumper for better corner coverage. The sensors also need to be mounted so that they are level ie not facing down.
9. Does this come with a warranty?
Yes. Everything we sell has a full 12 month warranty. Any faulty product is replaced and in the unlikely event we cannot replace it, we will issue a refund.
