hahahhha ok bring your car make i jam am to use am test. lmao , hmmm anyway thanks for the contribution Jare.

want to hear also from others.

Ha! But me I no complain about my SRS (supplemental restraint system, the airbag) now; my own dey kampe. As a matter of fact, if the thing was bad, it should have indicated on your dashboard--except of course your ECM (engine control module) has been tampered with. I'd say you should let sleeping dogs lie. We pray never to have cause to use it anyway.

aaahhhhh it wont happen.

I shouldn't think they expire. I hope you wouldn't be venturesome enough to test yours. if you remain so curious get it scanned and you'd know whether it's still ok or not. The practical way of determining whether it still functions or not is to go ahead and involve the car in a frontal accident!

What I understand is that your car has central locks but you also want to add a car alarm.

You can add car alarm to any car regardless if it has central locks or not. So it's possible.

Regarding maintenance, do you have an owners manual in the car? If so just follow the guidelines in there and use the option for severe duty if available. The one thing I would recommend is to change frequently and to use the best oil and filter that you can afford.

Sir, thank for your interest in our device. Have sent you a reply to your mail. Happy sunday

Remote central locking can be added to your car's spec. Provided the car has central locking to begin with. If not, there are lots of kits on the market that can be retro-fitted.

Key duplication also isn't an issue. In '97, immobilisers weren't very widely available as a factory option, (especially on vehicles from North America and Canada) so it will be as simple as getting duplicates made. If your key has a transponder, there are transpondered blanks available, that can also be cut. These will however need coding to your car.

You can have an aftermarket alarm fitted quite cheaply, and an electronic cut-off switch hidden in the car.

As for maintenance - are you good with cars, or are you merely looking for advice on where to take your car for servicing and repairs?
