Hi subieboy

We dont keep records of cars for security reasons but the best option would be to give me a ring in the office and I can work out what you have had installed :)

Cheers Brad,

Once I get back to NZ I will give you a call (In Brisvegas)

If some genius shorted the LED on their alarm, what would need replacing? :-[

Try replacing the LED first. You can source ultra-bright blues/whites/reds (whatever you're after) from Jaycar Electronics. If its too bright, current limit it with a resistor.

I would imagine the LED is not driven straight off the microprocessor inside the AVS alarm unit, but rather switched through a transistor. Can't say for sure (have never opened an AVS box up before), but if this is the case you may need to have this part replaced. That's probably an AVS return to manufacturer job I would imagine - as touching the internals would most likely void your warranty.

But try the striaght LED replace first off - that might hopefully do the trick.

Yeah I've actually checked and there is no voltage coming out of the unit to the LED. Used one of those multi meter devices. So I'm assuming it's something internal.

Could you please tell me what the black wire is for hanging out the bottom of the black box (the brains i think?) is for, i managed to fix the problem with the door not locking (relay feckd) this whole thing is wired up weird, im no electrician but it sure as hell looks a mess for sure.

I pretty tight for time after work so unsure of when i'll get in.

Cheers.

Yes that is probably the aerial if it is a single wire coming from the opposite side of the brain to the main harness. Unfortunately some installers are not as particular as they should be, is it all working as it should??

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
