Trust me you do NOT want brant installed .. there are other systems similar but avoid brant ..

I've had the system in my WRX for 7 years and once had a problem maybe due to direct sunlight on the key pad during summer and had to replace the module. Apart from that it has worked perfect, Also earlier this year I had a break and they stole my keys and was lucky to push the car up to the corner of the street before giving up. So i really do want one in my next WRX. I am still interested in looking for a installer but what other system are there that do a key pad like the Brant? I heard people saying they hate the Brant with all the problems but im one that has been 100% happy with little faults.

I'd be keen to hear what other options there are aswell. But from experience aswell the Brant was never really a issue.

Don't install the Brant. I say this for a simple reason: They're everywhere. If you use something that is mainstream, then you'll be sure that more people know how to circumvent it. The standard "from subaru install" of a Brant was all done in the same way for huge batches of vehicles. As such, anyone who has removed one, will know either what you have to cut/connect on the main harness to bypass it, or which bits to short out on the circuit board to bypass it. Most of the time in less than 90 seconds.
I am more paranoid than most, so this bit of advice is something that some people say is over the top: Don't get a normal installer to put any security device in your car. Get a trusted friend to do it or do it yourself. If you get your anti-hijack installed at the local car stereo place, do you really know who has done it ? Do you trust their apprentice that saw your pride and joy and knows exactly how the alarm is installed ? Do you trust that the apprentice will not spout off to his mates at the pub about the awesome WRX and how he knows how to steal it ? If you can, install it yourself. Hey, build it yourself. Start with: Here for backlit metal keypads: KB304-MNS-WP-B ACCORD - Keypad: universal | TME - Electronic components Here for a hyped up 32bit 72 Mhz CPU board (Arduino compatible) https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy32.html And use a LM2940C for the power supply, not that shitty LM7805 stuff. ... then in no time you will have a system that nobody has ever seen, installed or bypassed before. Or... just get a trunk monkey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AidA...3Kz_8JjLH-Nxp7

I think going for a trunk monkey is probably the best option lol

Still I want to way up my options and see who does it or what other systems are out there that do the same thing. I dont plan to have it done in the same suburb or give my address out so it cuts down the chances of a inside job. I'm not that handy so i will stick with a pro. |

Anyways I think it kind of went off topic and got Hi jacked with everyone's opinions/advice which I really do appreciate.
Still down to the question. Where is there a place in WA that has experience in installing the Brant system? and what other Systems are out there that can do the same thing? |

Some people on here have upgraded from the stock Brant alarm to an Autowatch alarm.

Please enlighten us as to what is so special about your 09 WRX that a professional/licenced car alarm installer may consider doing an "inside job" to steal your precious vehicle. My advice; get a quality alarm (perhaps an Autowatch) installed by a licenced car security installer, and comprehensively insure your vehicle with a reputable insurance company, advising them of the make and model of alarm fitted.
