Kinda shocking to see that the two m60s i bought that i thought were good security are fairly average.

Cobra next time

They've been living off their name for a number of years now which is disappointing.
Mongoose must be aware that there are issues with the remote controls as they only offer ...

That page on the different brands is pretty scary, looks like NZ standards are pretty shoddy - just like you blog states...

That's why the page is there, it's a shocking industry to work in and I just don't like seeing people get mislead into paying good money for crap!

We (I speak as ...

Glad to be of service.

I noticed that the drivers door switch was a bit dodgy. Had to open the back door to get the remote to code. The door switches are probably the most unreliable part of Toyota's around that era. Hiace vans are shocking for faulty ones.

Still it's something I always check ...

I'm based in Wellington so feel welcome to contact me if your wife gets stuck. I'm mobile too. PM'd Lifesaver.

I had a read of your blog and disable auto imobiliser function on our hilux up here to try and talk her through it and while i am heard all the right chirps at the right time the bastard ...

Yeah mongoose have the instructions on how to program the remote online!

Bonus for me.

I've PM'd you some info that should help. Let me know how you get on.

May as well put this up here to bring it to everyones attention.
I'm not sure exactly what is happening with the NZSA star rating system. It maybe dead, or the MTA maybe taking it on (I've made a phone call but they have not got back to me!)

As the blog shows the NZSA are being as pathetic ...

It is called an anti hot-wire alarm and sadly it can't be turned off. Mongoose (and some others) have the same thing too and I full agree that it is an annoying pointless "feature"

The fact that the car does not start should be a big enough hint, sadly the alarm manufactures want to make their ...

Still see the fully badged up warlocks wagon driving around

Good to know, see if you can get a photo and I'll post it on my Blog. FFS!

You do have to wander what it takes to become banned from being a director of a company?

It even noted the Directors "reckless trading" in the report yet ...

car-alarm.co.nz is owned by Warlocks who still seem to be trading even though they have been put into liquidation!

All the details are covered here:

Just to let everyone know what is going on with the "NZSA star rating system". There have been some interesting developments.

I've sent you a PM

That's all cool. You make some very good points, I know damn well things won't change over night but at least I know I'm trying to make a difference.

Thanks

how about promotion of wider adoption of the Thatcham standards instead of the AS/NZS standard. Would mean people are working to a higher standard without you having to create from scratch and putting a lot of work into re-creating the wheel.

If you were to send out a mass email, then highlighting ...

Can you make your own standard? I know it wouldn't be a simple task.... but could solve the problem in a different way. Which standard would insurance companies demand an alarm meets?

a)Average one
b)Better one

Not saying which is which or anything like that as we know how easy it is to upset ...

I think I'll have to get everyone to write to the NZSA and make it clear that I'm not the only one who thinks there need to be changes made
What you really need to do is get everyone to stop paying their membership, since that's all the NZSA gives a shit about.

Good point,

Membership fees ...

Thanks.

If there was then they'd probably get assassinated for being to opinionated! Haha

The idea of a complaint box being added to the NZSA website was suggested. Problem is I can't see them adding one any time soon!
