I will be getting my car this week and i am thinking of changing the current alarm which is cheetah with card immo; and seriously i was looking at the Clifford G5 which would cost RM2k - RM6k till i saw this thread. I think you guys have a great product which i wouldn't mind considering but i have a couple of questions about RadioStar:
1) Any idea if the Cheetah immo is a normal immo or Engine Management System immo? I was reading the difference from Captor's site and would like to know more. Is it compatible with RadioStar?
2) If i would to retain the Cheetah immo (card), do i still have to use the cheetah remote? if yes, means i would have 2 remotes.
3) At the same time, i am interested in getting Captor but i read that captor has built-in alarm system with remote; does that mean i will be carrying another remote? If cheetah and captor requires individual remote then i will end up with 3 remotes which i hope not.
4) Is it possible to add-on tilt sensor to radiostar and how much? would like to safeguard my rims and at the same time avoid being towed, as thereotically i believe the shock sensor would not be triggered when the car is lifted by a tow-truck.
5) How about proximity sensor, possible as add-on? which would you recommend and cost.
6) About the auto-arm/passive arm in the event the driver forgot to lock the car, is it possible to auto lock and arm instead of just arming? Passerby might be tempted to open the doors when they see a car not locked, hence having it auto locked and armed would be great.
7) RPM or on-brake auto lock (not arm)?
8) Is the communication between the car and remote continuos or it will only trigger the remote when the car is being tampered? This is related to the "Query Function" feature in RadioStar as i am living on the 12th floor and my car would be in Basement1 so i am wondering if the remote has a signal bar (continuos) or manually we have to check for signal.
9) I was reading in this thread that one of the customer had problems with the ECU after installing radiostar but back to normal after reset; if i do change ECU after installing radiostar, do i have to re-visit the installer to rewire or etc.?
10) Last question (i hope), i think its going to be hard but how would you compare RadioStar to Clifford G5 IntelliGuard 850 when it comes to features (not price lahh of course)?
I know its a lot of question and i would really appreciate if you could reply all. Hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers!
