I'm soon to be getting a blackjax anti-hijack device fitted to my WRX and wondered if anyone would be interested in a group buy to try and keep the price down. I will be speaking with local suppliers/fitters in the next couple of days to get some prices for 5-10-15-20 systems etc, so if anyone else is interested leave your name here and send this to the top.

Prices to follow soon


**PRICE CONFIRMED**

£130 supplied & fitted in Leeds by a very reputable Clifford installer, anyone interested please add your name to the list and contact me via email with your contact details

Deffo interested in this after just reading Lockwood's post about the EvoVI in Notts

An idea of price would be good. Will the price include fitting as well ?

Steve

MadGrip

Yes Steve, prices I will get will be for supply and fit as I'm not sure if its something that caould be done DIY.

As mentioned in the first post I'll get some prices together over the next couple of days.

Cheers

Phil

Count me in. If you make it to the Fenay Bridge meet, I'll discuss it with you there. When I find out who's who anyway.

Count me in on this one m8, after my brakes this week, this will be the next mod, as the wife is making noises about driving my scoob!

Been waiting for a group buy on this for a while, probably should have started one myself!!

Whereabouts would we need to go to fit?

Just recieved a price from one of the suppliers, but still waiting for others to get back to me.

1st price to come in so far is for £152.75 fitted in Leeds, 5 mins from J27 of the M62 and this price is for 5 units or more. For those of you who can put it through a business thats £130+vat.

looks promising so far although I'm not sure what full retail cost is for one of these, but I'll wait to see the other prices first

Phil

what would scooby do

Mines already booked into motorguard in Birmingham £150 job done..



Maybe you guys could arrange two locations - 1 north 1 south ??

MadGrip

New price just came in

10 blackjax units supplied & fitted = £140 each
11 or more units supplied & fitted = £135 each

both prices include VAT

Getting better

I would be interested in one after reading all the stories,
Does it work in conjunction with my existing alarm or is it a totally different system.

Count me in.

MadGrip

Depending on the alarm you have it mite match up to it, but usually they wire it up to your car horn and also install a siren in the car itself

Yakker

Pardon my ignorance - but how does BlackJax work ?

Do you have to continually put a code number in ? does it have a visible keypad ? - all the literature says you just hand the keys over and it sorts itself out - what if you dont stop the engine etc ?

Cheers

what would scooby do

IIRC - if a door is opened you have to tap in a code otheriwse it activates after a few mins and shuts down the car/sets of siren

rotty

Isn't there a new version working on some sort of transmitter card like the Spal , would be interested in that , not sure about a pin number version though

homer lawtey

OK, I'm going to be really cheeky here, but would anyone mind if I were to get one of these units fitted to my car through this group buy, even though it's not a Scooby? I've just done some reading on the net and it looks like top stuff, especially the way it "pulses down the ignition with the siren sounding and the lights flashing" to stop the car safely.

It appears the standard prices for the unit fitted vary from £150 to £235 on different websites.

What do the blackjacks do, is there anywhere i can get some info, tried google-ing it but found nuffin

MadGrip

look HERE

Phil

what would scooby do

A bit more info here (apologies for directing you to a "Suckso" site

Deep Singh

Sorry chaps am I missing something here? Someone car jacks you and drives off in your car. A few mins later it shuts down. Is'nt this asking for him or his accomplices to come running back and potentially kill you/wife/kids etc to get the code. Is'nt it better they just take your car?

MadGrip

I think the system lets the car drive for 500 yards or so before slowly coming to a stop with lights flashing and horn sounding, which gives you time to leg it and get the plod (or a bigger stick than they have)

better than getting a good beating and your pretty much guarenteed to get your car back in one peice

yahtzee

hi interested few questions?
so it is a standalone device?
any reduction in insurance policy?

cheers will

mplaczek

Sounds good to me, I'd definitely be interested. Carjacking does worry me and my partner a lot. Like above, is there any info in the web where I can have a look at it??
Nice Group Buy and good prices there too!

mplaczek

Ok found a web site for those that want a read of the description, doesn't answer some of the questions here though the one on this site is a blackjax 4. Is that the same one on the group buy??
I don't know how to do clickies, but here is the address...

*** NEW PRICE***



£ 130 supplied & fitted inc VAT for 10 or more units supplied and fitted in Leeds


Phil

I honestly dont think that We'll get a better price than this, so anyone who is definately interested please leave your names on the new "PRICE CONFIRMED" Thread & email me with contact details please, this is a cash price and must be paid for on the day of fitting, the guy doing the work has been a registered clifford installer for years and knows his stuff

I checked into this a while ago and was told that it invalidates the Thatcham Cat 1 approval.
Is this true?
