Dan - PM received & replied with thanks.

What's really annoying is that I have a completely clean driving history & NO claims.

I have EziTrack,

It is self monitored. That is, I have to pay for the phone SIM (around $8 a month)
in the unit. When something goes wrong (alarm, tow away etc) the unit
rings my mobile. I can also lock/unlock doors and kill engine from my phone.

At any time you can ring the car up and you get a nice female voice
which guides you through a menu system like online banking. From there you
can GPS position, speed, kill engine etc...

Installed it myself and integrates well with existing alarm, timer and anti-hijack.

Fobz, thanks for the reply.

Does it void the warranty of the unit if it's not installed by them?? I don't want to have to fork out mega $$'s & stuff it up without a warranty to back me up.

Is your alarm one that came with the unit or did it link up to one you already had in the car?


Thanks

ROFL

I have bulk fines ranging from 10kms over to WELL over 50k and JC were happy to charge me a reasonable premium.

I dunno about Allianz. I recently got a letter about a new budget direct insurance company and they just come across as dodgy!

Good question on the warranty. I have not had any problems with it so
far, except during installation and the guys at Ashley Electrical were
very helpful. It would be a good question to ask the seller before buying.

I already had an alarm in the car, but by chance it was one that Ashley
Electrical had supplied. They told me which wire to run from the alarm.
Should be easy for any alarm anyway. Just need to find a wire which
switches when the alarm goes off. Either always +ve and goes -ve in alarm
or always -ve and goes +ve in alarm. Either will do coz you can use
a changeover relay to connect it to the EziTrack.

Because I already had an alarm, I turned off many things on the EziTrack
coz it would double up with the alarm.

Be Careful: Although the EziTrack does have "intruder detection" like an
alarm, you can only turn it on/off via a phone. So no beep-beep remote.
Far better to integrate with existing alarm, and get alarm to do all the
monitoring and the EziTrack to ring you if the alarm goes off.
