My C5 Alarm
« on: 06, May, 2012 - 14:32:05 »
It arrived yesterday morning and I got it fitted. Simply cable tied the siren/receiver unit to the chassis and it works quite well and the remote has a very good range.

Here's a video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UnzGcCYPzo

I bought this one. It cost me £6.49 but the price has presumably gone up due to the rising postage cost.

Just beware

that is from hong kong and could easily take 2 weeks if not longer to arrive!

I regularly order from china / hong kong and am used to it though.

That's why I bought the one from my link. The delivery only took just over a week.

No idea, I will set it off to find out at some point. But I would rather do it in the middle of nowhere so it won't irritate the neighbours.

A WEEK! From Bristol?? Are they having a laugh?

Some china ebay sellers are *really* on the ball.

I have ordered stuff on a thursday and they have been on my doorstep on the following tuesday!

The stuff had to be shipped in to their warehouse in Bristol, which is where they ship their items off from.
