I've got a deafeningly loud car alarm fitted (presumably by the original owner at time of purchase) with both FOBs etc..
Works very well and but is a bit of an overkill .. keyless remote locking is handly and not standard on these models..
Question is how can I work out what brand it is and more importantly how it works? I've seemed to work out bits and there is a key which i think turns the siren off - for servicing mainly I suppose...but the sequence and button pushing is still a mystery...
Could me Pirhana, Mongoose or similar but there are not numbers/branding or anything....I'll put up a few photos of the under bonnent unit and FOBs if it helps to identify..

Sounds aftermarket - good luck!
Often aren't branded so that people can't figure out how to bypass them as easily.

Yeah, generally for "security" they don't brand them.
If it were me, I would be getting an auto-elec to remove the damn thing. They all seem to eventually bugger up and cause more issues than they're worth (especially since most thieves will either ignore them, or just smash the siren to shut it up)

I reckon HKS is spot on.
