hey Alex it is a 555u, not a 551u right??

 

FYI: The write-up is now completed and is undergoing review by several third-party sources, including professional installers. Once any errors are found and corrected, I will post the link to the write-up. Beware that the write-up is lengthy and detailed, but is currently 22 pages long when printed out on standard letter-sized paper. Photographs and diagrams are also included.

According to Alex, we still need at least 9 more people. Pay up people so we can get this alarm shipping. It sucks having to install it on another Maxima when you've already ordered one (or four in my case) and can't get yours yet. Let's get this deal sealed soon.

That is correct. It is a 555U.

 

Studman, great job. Are the instructions applicable for the 4th gen max's?

 

At this time, the instructions cannot be applied to the 4th gen. The wire tapping locations, as well as the color codes are different between the 4th gen and the 5th gen.

If there is a 4th gen in the Central Florida area that is ordering the alarm, I will offer assistance during the install, provided that you allow time for a write-up to occur. If you are a 4th gen and are interested, please PM me. Do not reply to me in the thread, as it would be a security risk for people to know whose car the alarm was installed in.

 

Thank you Studman for all of your hard work!
This guy rocks!

Alex

 

So with these instructions, can this alarm be installed by a non-professional installer, with basic wiring knowledge?

 

alex...could u fix the list?
should be:
Nilesh B - 1 and 1
Richard D - 1

i know you got the shipping right...but just to make sure..its bothering me a bit
thanks!

 

That is the general idea. You'll definitely need some knowledge of car stereo wiring (i.e. using 3M taps and spade connectors). I'll go ahead and give you the supply list that I have right now, but understand that this list could still change, as the write-up is still being reviewed for accuracy and for consistency.

Tools That Are Needed (as of Revision 1.05):
Socket Wrench (3/8" Drive Preferred)
10mm Deep Socket
12mm Deep Socket
12" Socket Extension
Phillips Screwdriver (Multiple sizes help)
Flat-Head Screwdriver (Multiple sizes help)
Ratcheting Crimpers (Pick up at your local Auto Parts Store for about $20)
Pair of Wire Strippers (I use the cheap ones at Home Depot - They are Yellow handled and are around $10 in the electrical aisle)
Drill and Drill Bit Set (you will use different sizes for different things)
Needlenose Pliers
Wire Cutters
Metal File

Parts and Supplies That Are Required (as of Revision 1.05):
Electrical Tape (1 Roll)
Bag of Wire Ties (20-30 Minimum Needed)
Several Red 3M Taps (Get about 20-25 of them)
Several Blue 3M Taps (I bought 10 and had some left over)
Several Yellow 3M Taps (I bought 10 and had some left over)
Several Red Male Spade Connectors (Get a box of 25-50)
A few Red Female Spade Connectors (A bag of 5 should do)
A few Blue Male Spade Connectors (A bag of 10-20 should do)
A few Blue Female Spade Connectors (A bag of 5 should do)
(1) +12v Relay (Automobile Standard Relay)
(15 feet) 2-Conductor 18-Guage (or Higher) Wire (the 530T installation changes this requirement)
1.5' of Plastic/Vinyl Sheathing (should be sized to fit snugly around the wire)
Plastic Grommet (should be sized to fit snugly around the wire and sheathing)
One of your keys (Valet Key Preferred)

Other than the tools required, expect to spend around $20-30 at a local Radio Shack for the supplies. I would recommend finding an electronic's surplus store in your area. You can pick up the same parts from them for about $10.

The 530T write-up is still in it's first draft. The wiring requirements for the door lock/unlock wire changes with the 530T. If you are planning to install the 530T at the same time as the alarm, please do not buy the 15-feet of wire. I will post more soon about the wiring requirements for installing the 530T.

 

New total (thanks Adam)!

i have a fourth gen, and im waiting for my next pay check to get this... probably within a week or so...

But, can this be installed by an audio place? or would they not do it since you didnt buy it from them? how would this werk? cause i dont think a writeup for the 4th gen is gona happen anytime soon lol

 

how many do we have now ? i want these quick ^___^

just went to get a install quote from best buy..

199 for the alarm install and 65 for the module.

that's pretty steep for me.. they sell the alarm for $ 499.95

 

Everyone hurry up and pay uP! Let's get these things shipped.

 

PAY PAY PAY man if it comes down to like a two or three, i think ill buy more and give them as gifts just to get this deal complete....let me know if you need me to purchase a few more.....

 

Ive already bought 2!! Common people lets get the ball rolling on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm willing to bet that the $499.95 price doesn't include the retail cost of the 555U transponder. Add that to the price tag and you'd save money by entering the GD. Also, I'm not sure that I'd want Best Buy or Circuit City installing my alarm. While they both do a decent job and are reliable, they install every alarm the exact same way. So if someone found out that your alarm was installed there, they could know exactly where the brain is, etc. Just a word of warning.

Try visiting some local audio shops that are independent. You should be able to get a better price.

 

yah i know just showing the rediculous price they're charging ^___^

I already paid like 2 days ago, just waiting for the list to be updated.

 

Hmm... what happened to all the people who paid before? We had 29 for the last GD that didn't go through. I guess some must have backed out.

Come on guys & gals, this is the best deal you'll ever get on this system!

 

If we don't get enough by Wednesday, I will *****, beg, and plead to get this GD done. Mind you, I have my own alarm, and one more....I really need to get this alarm...so...I will do whatever I can to get things done guys and gals.

Alex

 

yeah this is an awesome deal on the top of the line alarm
-J

 

yea lets get this moving...ive already told every one of my friends that even remotely care about their car...and im expecting a few to give me money soon

 

hurry up and buy!!!!!

 

How many do we have now ? keep us updated

 

yeah, i want find out how many people are already in this......

 

I also want to know how many more people we need?

Alex, will you be shipping the alarm out, or will your supplier? Some of my concerns are duties, taxes, and the fact that I'm weary about joining in another gd after getting screwed by Maxxtuning. Other than that, I'm really interested in this deal.

 

I would also like to know about the taxes and duties. Please post answers to those questions. Thanks, Alex.

Also, Canadian orders will be shipped via USPS as a GIFT....no duties, no taxes...F.O.B. AZ

 

Also, I am shipping the alarms, not the distributor. I am cutting this off tomorrow, and even if we don't have 30, I will talk to the distributor, and at least find out if we can get away with 24 (including me).... I really want to get this alarm.

Let me know your input about this.
Thanks
Alex

 

alex, will we **** the suplier off if we can only get 24 people????? I dont want him to get mad and back off.....

 

I don't think so....the guys at his stereo shop are cool as ****, and its a small business (he has two or three stores here in PHX), but he was more than grateful and is willing to work with us on any other GDs we need for stereo stuff in the future.....but I don't think he would get ****ed off...I have kept him posted on everything....

 

ok we are kinda far from 30 im with image, we may seem a little unreliable since we only have 24, im gonna go ahead and drop in a purchase of three more. wait for this payment alex before shipping... ill pay this tonight....27, at least it is closer to 30...

 

Excellent! Thanks, and remember, paypal goes to
sales@jgsites.com

 

Alex, i sent you an email.

 

Right back Kev...

 

hey i paid for the alarm and the module, u only put for da alarm > p

 

I did, but that's because one person didn't need a module, so its even (in terms of total number)

 

alex when this ends would we still be able to get this alarm at this price in a few weeks?

 

Possibly....I really cannot guarantee it...

 

ooh baby...i feel an alarm coming into my hands in about a week wahoo

 

alex sent the payment for 3 more sets, total of four for me only. no 555u. thanks!
