Alarm/immobiliser.
Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2017 10:35 am
At the moment I have a Viper unit on my SD1, which is parked in the street.
It does just what I want - remote for the central locking and turns the interior lights on, etc. And immobilises both fuel pump and starter. I installed it myself.
The downside is it's very fiddly to programme. Likely because of where I've fitted it. And the remote has become unreliable, and the case broken.
I wondered if there was a newer design which I could programme from my laptop? it would also be nice to have the option to have it open and close the windows or whatever, so a few extra ports would be nice too - just in case.
I've looked on Ebay, but can only find pretty basic units.
The other possibility might be one based on an Ardino etc. I like building stuff if anyone has come across an article on doing just this.
