Can these be wired into the car's alarm system (i.e. armed/disarmed by nissan's OEM key fob) without having to purchase another receiver/trasmitter? |
agreed.
Down here we also have a lot of gated communities and we've been looking for homes in those. We were looking for a new place anyway... question to those with the Viper. Do you basically carry two key fobs? The one from Nissan and the one for the Viper? not a big deal, I'm just trying to understand how it ties in together. Like do you lock your doors with one and then arm the alarm with the other or do you lock and arm together with the Viper and then just keep the nissan fob in your pocket to start the car? edit: oh, I like yz's idea better if that works. |
^ that wont work. you need the actual viper alarm in order to have the tilt/glass break/shock sensor. Yes i carry 2 fobs. I essentially never use the nissan fob anymore. I use the viper fob. it disarms the alarm/unlocks the door when i press unlock, and locks/arms when i lock. i also requested the add a trunk release feature on teh remote so i now have that. At first you want to use the buttons on teh door but that will set off the alarm because you unlock the door but don't disarm the alarm. Ask your shop about just getting the viper 3303 (2000 foot range) and then the two sensors (they total 170 dollars). Its the most basic set up but i really think you should do it.
so in short, i carry 2 fobs. i never use the nissan one, i just keep it on me so i can start the car. and you need a viper system to use their other add ons, which can't be wired into the nissan alarm. |
cool, thanks Jeff.
Yeah, I would like the 3002 (I didnt' see the 3303 on their web site) and then add the tilt sensor and the backup siren. |

Is the system transferable from one car to the next? And do you know if there are any tilt sensors that can be wired to the cars oem alarm system? (e.g., nissan tilt sensors - I tried searching but nissan doesn't manufacture them). |
nah you're not gonna have any luck wiring something into the nissan alarm. The nissan alarm is really useless and wont interface to anything. I got the glass break sensor and tilt sensor. If someone starts banging ont he glass with something metal, the alarm will go off. If the glass in fact breaks, the alarm will obviously also go off. I'd suggest you take the insurance money, but tjlazers wheels, cover your deductible with the extra cash and put whatever is leftover towards the alarm system. If you can't garage your car, you probably don't want to attract any more attention by buying volks or something. If you don't get an alarm, and put that money towards nicer wheels, you are basically saying 'hey guys! come back i've got some more wheels for you!'
|
Also, just an FYI, but ask your insurance company about lowing the deductable. I have a $250 deductable that I lowered from $500 and it cost me $50 per year.
|
yea. lower deductibe higher premium/ vice versa.

The front wheels are turned in the photo! I thought you couldn't remove the wheels, if the wheels were turned?

Man sorry to hear about that. Most people now a days don't give a damn.
The worst thing is it makes a guy worry about enjoying his car. You worry about going anywhere in your car for fear of some a hole jacking with it. That's the thing about our cars they just don't blend in they stick out like a sore thumb. |
