Hey,Having issues with my alarm.
Its an aftermarket mongoose alarm.I can no longer use the remote to lock/unlock the car.The batteries are fine (tried a new one).The alarm still works (light flashing on the dash, and siren works).
Problem is that i can no longer drive me car! As soon as i turn it on the immobiliser goes off.

HELP please

Maybe you have to sync it again!Try turning the ignition on and off 3 times(dont start it thou, just so the dash lights show and hold the green button or something
Edit :
Disarm by existing remote, or use the override
Open the drivers door and leave open
Turn the ignition ON/OFF 3 times ??

You should have a card with a pin no and instructions on how to bypass it It should of been supplied with alarm or car.

Reprogramming didnt work.
Alarm does still chirp - so dont think thats the issue.
Cant start the car to take to the alarm shop - what can i do!
The alarm was installed by the previous owner - i dont have the card.

Get a mobile installer to come to you! The immobiliser will be switched on and off via a relay, The relay could be the problem or its the alarm thats not sending the signal to the relay, anyway If your feeling electrical savy today you could find the relay in question and try replacing it with a new 1 or just remove it and reconnect the ignition wires as per factory.

Most alarms hat crap out are a result of a bad installation.

Well yeah doh, but the goal is to make it harder, most alarms will put off the average joy rider which is what your average thief is. Anything can be stolen if enough thought is done behind it, but the question is how far do you go!

Gearlocks are just as crap.

simple to by pass! cut the gear leaver off with bolt cutters then bend lock out of the way with a crowbar take less than 15 seconds. you are left with a short gear leaver but can drive it away.

Gearlocks do not work they are a waste of money!

Sorry , i was not trying to spam . I just know that having a gearlock makes it much harder for theives to steal a car and everyone that wants to keep their car should have one .

Which was installed by the last owner him or herself in about the same time.
It's the installation not the brand that deters the thief.
Get any alarm properly fitted and you won't even FIND the alarm brain !
