Hi
When I bought my 100% stock DC2 (95 VTi-R) first thing I did was put my new alarm into it. Viper 1000. I also added [remote] central locking (which from what I was told it required a little motor in the doors).
I'm just wondering, it seems as if my installer is having a really *really* hard time getting the central locking working. The alarm itself is awesome, however, I've had to take the car back 3 times now for them to "fix" the central locking issue. I'm not mentioning any vendor names as typically these guys are great (from what i've heard). The problem is, with the central locking not working, my doors are literally always open.
The switch on the drivers door controls itself and the passenger door, but to 'flick' the switch it requires alot of force so it seems as if the little motor they put in to do this isn't capable. When I first got the alarm, to flick the switch was able to be done with ease, hence the little motor worked like a charm. However it quickly started requiring alot of force to flick the switch, and at one point wasn't actually able to be flicked to locked.
I just want to know, is this always a drama on a DC2? Or is my installer just a retard? For a $800 alarm system I'm pretty pissed off considering it's made my car more vunerable. Is the way the installer has done my doors correct? (small motor etc) Do I have another option? I'm slightly annoyed as it means anyone can steal my rather expensive sound system, I can't leave my car anywhere and this whole thing is making me look like a whinger to the installer, but worst of all, my insurance is void at the moment so I'd love to know what the deal is before I ocne again ask the installer wtf is going on
Cheers
Matt
