I've been Smiley-less for 4 months, My Relay's been really good and everything, but i couldn't resist when i saw one for sale for cheap in good shape, so i bought one, i'm back on the team !
Thank you for posting this. I am looking for an alarm for my 2011 Transit Connect camper and this is exactly the sort of thing I an interested in. Your video makes it look doable, and gives a decent insight into what you get for the money. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video mate, I am researching alarm + remote deadlock solution for my old VW campervan and this is really helpful, might go for this alarm as well.
Thanks that was great, I had a mk5 swb low roof I loved it until I crashed it 😢. I will be putting a system like this in our mk7 Lwb mid roof bus camper , factory central locking is a nightmare so cheers from Australia
This model is for vehicles that already have central locking but no remote. You will need to get a kit that has the actuators and they are installed to the doors locking mechanism.
This is a brilliant video and some great things to think about. I've got an old sparkrite alarm I purchased years ago for a previous car and never got around to fitting it... no better deterrent than an alarm still in it's box :/ I think I'll have a go finally fitting it... to my van.
I've been following you since you started with that van, I congratulate you. I have an equal, very useful information. Hug and thanks. To be continued. Strong hug from Portugal
Thanks for posting this video 2 questions. 1. You connected the brown wires to the positive in the front indicators does that mean only the fronts will flash ? 2. How to i wire in the relay on the immobiliser ?
Hi mate, thanks for watching. In answer to your question. The brown wire connected to the front indicators will also do the rear ones as they are on the same circuit. And the kit comes with a wiring diagram for the immobiliser as it varies depending on the vehicle 😊 hope this helps
nice review and cool a alarm 😎👍 all ways wanted to see what this a alarm was like. it looks a bit like a viper and the quality of it as well dam good for 40 pounds
Nice video very good. I have a question, can this alarm be installed with only the electrical power supply (red wire and black wire) to make it work only as a volumetric alarm, by connecting the volumetric sensors?
Brilliant little device & a very comprehensive tutorial mate, did you add it to your insurance policy to see if you got a reduction on your policy quote. My next job me thinks👍 you keep finding me these jobs to do😂 ❤️it👍
Thanks mate! I think it needs to be approved alarm to get discount unfortunately 🙄 Might be worth a call though to check 👍🏼 haha it’s a full time job 😂 thanks for your comment, take care bud
Hi. Can you fit this alarm to a classic vehicle that doesnt have central locking? Or do you just leave the wires unconnected that arent required? Thanks
You definitely could use a relay to disable the pump solenoid or the starter motor. Or both perhaps 🤔 I didn’t use on my van as it has pats already anyway.
Hi, just fitted one and I've used the pin switches and the brake light positive. The alarm wont go off via the pins only the sensors. I noticed you didnt use the pin switches blue wire or the other cables...do you know what the interia light black/ red wires does, and what the brake positive for? Just thought I'd ask you before hawk. Any issues with it, I still need to figure out the central locking but your vid has gave me confidence to do it. Cheers
Hello mate, I only used the inputs that I wanted. There are lots of different options to set the alarm off hence all the spare input wires. Like pressing the brake pedal, or the interior light will set the alarm off when the door is open for example. They are pretty responsive to emails so I’m sure they will be quick to get back to you. Thank you, I’m glad you found it useful 😊
@@TurnersWorkshop97 thanks for reply, I figured out there's 2 versions , one you can disable the reactivation on key pad or as you did connect wires. If you are installing this look at both installing manuals for this model, also read the user instructions before you start as this answer my question about the blue and white for the brake...it locks the doors after 6-8 seconds if you have wired the central locking up. Again I'm still stuck with the red and black...it says it's for the interior light to come on when triggered and the wire does ground when alarm is triggered but I cant get it to switch the light on when wired into the same cable as pin switch. It must be me lol..anyway it works well now and added a few more pin switches with diodes. 🙂👍
If you connect pins 3 and 9 together to prevent auto-rearming, as you have done, does that mean it’s not possible to use those wires as the door trigger and dome supervision, as what they’re originally intended for?
Hi John, I’m not sure on this one. You could drop them an email and I’m sure they will tell you. I seem to remember using the door trigger on my last van and it didn’t auto-rearm so there is a way to use this feature and disable the auto rearming.
@@TurnersWorkshop97 Thanks. I got a reply earlier and they said if you connect both the door trigger and the interior light supervision, it will prevent auto-rearming. The new version also has a recurring auto-rearming cancel feature via the key fob.
Love the video, really helpful. Quick Q, I know you didn’t have an original central locking key, but do you know if you could arm/disarm the system through the original key or can the hawk supplied key only do that.
Thank you, the alarm is only armed though the hawk remote control as far as I’m aware. I’m unsure if this is a feature that can be added but I’m sure they will be able to tell you this 👍🏼
Quick question.. So if I already have a car with remote central locking as standard could I run this as a pure independent alarm system without all the central locking wire nonsense and other setup etc. As in, lock my door with standard central locking key fob... then activate the alarm off the second hawk fob? Or does every wire from the alarm loom have to be connected to work properly? Thanks
Thanks man, It’s used in conjunction with other buttons to disable the ultrasonic sensors I believe. It’s also used for the remote engine start on another alarm they offer. 😁👍🏼

Nice man, welcome back 😁 there’s something about a smiley you just can’t get from other vans!

No worries mate

Brilliant! Totally given me the confidence to give this a go, thanks again 👍
That’s great man! Thanks for your feedback 👍🏼😁
Does the vehicle need to have central locking? I want this kit but I want central locking as well

I really appreciate that mate, thank you for supporting the channel 👍🏼 hugs back from the UK! 🇬🇧
@@TurnersWorkshop97 👍😀
Good informative video I have a spyball alarm but it’s playing up may have to install a new alarm.
Thanks mate, the hawk alarms are good for the money. Also come with 1 year warranty 👍🏼
Thanks for the tip on disabling auto-rearming by connecting pins 3 and 9, handy. Just installed mine and, dumbest feature ever...

Thank you! Most probably the same internals as the viper just rebranded, great for the price 😁 👍🏼
My Transit is petrol 96 year. How to now is positive or negative control. The colour of the cables are not the same.
Sorry man, I can’t say for sure as it was a little trial and error if you don’t have a wiring diagram.
Nice video very good. I have a question, can this alarm be installed with only the electrical power supply (red wire and black wire) to make it work only as a volumetric alarm, by connecting the volumetric sensors?
Thank you, yes I’m pretty sure it will work with just the sensors and power connected.

Nice video mate, very informative. Thank you.
I've bought the same after watching your vid. Are the ultrasonic sensors adjusted from the main unit?
Cheers mate, I think there is a sensitivity adjustment on the main unit if I remember right 👍🏼
Did you look in to fitting the immobiliser side of the alarm? Guessing it'd be fairly simple to the pump solenoid?
You definitely could use a relay to disable the pump solenoid or the starter motor. Or both perhaps 🤔 I didn’t use on my van as it has pats already anyway.

Thank you for posting this..... I have a question, have you changed the front door locks?
Hi, no problem :) I haven’t changed them
@@TurnersWorkshop97 thanks..... do you have a video?

That rings a bell, glad you found out. I think they also make a version that has gps tracking and remote starting 😎 was very tempted by this 😁
When you disabled the auto re arm. Did you just connect the 2 wires together
Yes mate 👍🏼
Hi mate what happens when your asleep in the van how do you lock the doors without the alarm setting
Hey, I lock the doors manually from the inside without setting the alarm 👍🏼
I’ve bought one followed your install but I’m not getting a positive pulse from the white wires lock and unlock I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
I have a mk5 transit and it don’t have central locking so how would I go about that ?
You can buy a kit with solenoids that operate the locks. Would be a case of mounting them inside the door cards.
How do you turn up the ultrasonic detectors?
Sorry for the delay replying, if you email hawk they will be able to assist.
Love the video, really helpful. Quick Q, I know you didn’t have an original central locking key, but do you know if you could arm/disarm the system through the original key or can the hawk supplied key only do that.

Hi can you tell me how much is the weight on the logbook is? thanks
Great vid. Thanks a million
Thank you so much, glad you liked it! 👍🏼
Quick question..
So if I already have a car with remote central locking as standard could I run this as a pure independent alarm system without all the central locking wire nonsense and other setup etc.
As in, lock my door with standard central locking key fob... then activate the alarm off the second hawk fob?
Or does every wire from the alarm loom have to be connected to work properly?
Thanks
Hi Tom, you certainly can. You will just use the inputs and outputs that trigger the alarm such as door switches and sensors 👍🏼
@@TurnersWorkshop97 spot on. Thanks
Great video thanks alot 👍😀 do you know what the 4th lightning bolt button is for?
Thanks man, It’s used in conjunction with other buttons to disable the ultrasonic sensors I believe. It’s also used for the remote engine start on another alarm they offer. 😁👍🏼
Did you have a brake wire on your model alarm
I’m pretty sure it does have the brake wire, it’s connected to the brake light 👍🏼
@@TurnersWorkshop97 what’s does that brake light wire do then never had one in my previous alarms
It’s just another input so that as soon as the brake pedal is pressed the alarm will come on.
@@TurnersWorkshop97 that’s a good idea cheers buddy
I just subscribed to your channel cheers mate
Mate did you bought Car with central locking or you have instal aftermarket one?
Already had central locking, but not remote. So installed aftermarket kit 👍🏼
Can you install central locking aftermarket if your mk5 never had central locking?
You can mate but you will need to get a kit with the lock actuators and retro fit them. I think hawk does a kit that also includes the actuators 👍🏼
@@TurnersWorkshop97 Ok thanks my model doesnt have power windows, is that still ok?
Should be fine, as long as you can run the cables into the door panel.
you could put the subtitles in Italian in the videos pls
