Hey guys,

Does anyone know if the OE alarm has proximity/ultrasonic sensors built in? I'm having problems with my aftermarket alarm, and my installer reckons there may be an OE prox sensor which...

lol, no lads, nothing more to show really. I haven't been procrastinating too much, but managed to get my hands on the prototype 5's, and got the front end installed, and since then I've been playing...

I've got an aftermarket alarm fitted, and the OEM one has been removed (to a greater or lesser extent), but I don't think that anyone that's good enough to bypass the OEM alarm/imobiliser is going to...

Tom, Dave or Paul? :lol:

My current spec list is:

Alpine F#1 CDA 7990 headunit
Alpine H900 processor
3 * Genesis dual monos powering front stage
1 * miniblock powering subs
prototype 5"...

Looks good mate :)

lol :lol: I meant "size", not "side" :D

Woosey - thanks mate :) Will discuss by phone. I don't *need* the wireless outside the car at the moment... infact I'm having enough problems with getting it inside the car :lol: Lots of stuff to...

t5tart - yeah, that's an option, cheers :) Thinking about it, I want to try to steer clear of batteries in the boot, as it means building ventillation in to it (not because it's necessarily a...

pzorb - swapping motherboard, processor, RAM etc.. sounds a bit expensive just to get a DVD drive up front, especially as J's come up with a solution for about £20 :) I really don't care about using...

On the off-chance that it doesn't, you could always use the ignition switched live - it just means that the amp'll be on whenever the ignition's on rather than whenever the stereo's on ..

Thanks guys :) Hopefully it'll all be looking a bit nicer in a few months... it's a bit of a mess at the moment.

Cool J - speak to you in a bit mate :)

pike - It's my 2nd DLink.. no problems with it at home or in-car yet. I find that any router I try needs an occasional manual reset at home.. maybe once a...

Thanks guys :)

Engineer - I'm probably being thick, but all I can come up with for BOD is:

Bag of doughnuts; bandwidth on demand and better off dead :lol:

The alternator's not having any...

lol, no mate, it's no mini car pc :D I could have gone the mini route, but I've saved a fortune by scrounging PC's and parts from mates. I ended up with 2 PC's delivered for £50 IIRC.. that's a...

Few more pics.. this weekend I added the PC in to the car, re-did the wireless router install so that I can get reception inside the car, and added a 4-way CD changer control and 2nd changer (changer...

Updated list:

Alpine 7990 / H900 F#1 combo headunit/processor.
4 * Genesis amplifiers
Phoenix Gold TiDD10 distribution

Dave - coolio mate. Spending on new product is always good - I should know :lol:

T5SLAVE - I have a long-standing arrangement with the owner of IceCavern.co.uk that when my install's up to...

t5tart - ah, fair enough, not heard of those 2... I do know some of the world's top cars from back then, but not all by any means :)

Dave - that we do mate! :) I'm busy all weekend this weekend,...

I'll be at Trax mate :) Doubt I'll have the full door builds by then - there's at least 3 weeks of fabrication left in them, if I do weekends and week nights, but that's not going to happen due to...

Cheers guys :)

t5tart - what did you do on/for them? Any cars I might know of?

Arbee - yeah, they're 3.7" outer diameter, but called a 3" driver. No midbasses yet, I'm waiting on the first...

I'm going to be doing more on that front than an alarm and paging system ever will, with no subscription charges.. the beauty of GPS, OBDII, PC's and telephone software control :D

Yes mate, she's all alarmed up :)

Thanks guys :) I'll have to check when the next meet is and get myself along.. will be interesting to see what you all think - whether not particularly ICE people can notice an improvement over...

Viking - cool mate, just give us a shout beforehand incase I decide to rip anything out and change it at the wrong time :)

Murphy - it is pretty loud, yeah, although that isn't the intention. It...

*fingers in ears* "La La La La La" :lol:

Fraz - was that a hint that I'm posting too many mate? :lol: Nah, I'm chuffed to bits that it's all in and working, and now I can get on to some of the...
