Preparation for installation

Before installation of the Mongoose car alarm begins, the vehicle owner must disconnect the power cable (negative) from the battery. Experts recommend dividing the upcoming amount of work into several stages:

prepare the car interior and power unit for installation;
install all elements of the Mongoose car alarm;
reassemble all dismantled elements;
configure the security system and test its operation;
prepare the vehicle interior for further use.

When independently performing work on installing the Mongoose alarm system, the vehicle owner must dismantle the panels as efficiently as possible. This is done to gain access to the car alarm cable connection points.

First of all, the dashboard is removed, after which the car radio and glove box are dismantled. At the next stage, the car enthusiast will have to remove:

from the steering column trim panel;
stove (air duct) lining;
fuse box cover;
panel located under the hood release handle, etc.

Signaling capabilities

Signalka Mongoose provides its owners with the following cool features:

Code protection. KeeLoq is a special security system that prevents attackers from intercepting a signal. The alarm developers used it as the main component that reliably protects the car from car thieves;
Anti-scanner is one of the functions originally built into the system. It is used to prevent the possibility of guessing the secret code. The process is carried out by sequentially eliminating incorrect commands. Let's assume that the robber decides to start searching for the correct code combination - if there is a special function, he will not succeed;
Memory. If they try to physically eliminate the alarm and remove the terminal from the battery, violators will not be able to turn off the program. In this case, the engine will not start, but instead we will hear an alarm signal;
Silent security mode – light warning without sound;
Delayed security mode - activated after closing the passenger compartment or trunk;
Automatic engine start – the user pre-sets the necessary parameters to start the engine;
Anti-Hi-Jack – placing the block on the engine while driving;
Emergency shutdown using a secret code.

How the Mongoose alarm works

The driver controls the system via a remote control. The radio transmitter that triggers the alarm operates using a 12V battery. Duration of operation is 12 months. The key fob has a pair of buttons and one LED. When you click on any element, the owner will be notified by a sound signal.

A distinctive feature of the remote control is the processor built inside. It works using a special anti-theft algorithm that allows you to modify radio commands. Thanks to this, no thieves will be able to intercept the codes.

The LED is designed to respond to user commands and to notify you when the battery charge is low. The latter is evidenced by a decrease in the brightness of the light.

How to recognize LED signals:

Flashing – car is locked;
Continuous – enable Valet;
Without light – the security system is turned off;
Short flashing – delay;
Several flashes - 2 - shock, 3 - opening of the cabin, 4 - opening of the trunk doors or hood;
Slow – ignition.

Mongoose Base 475

The last system to be given the opportunity to successfully close the Base line. The mongoose base 475 car alarm has maximum capabilities and is one of the best. This is due to the following positive qualities: long service life, high degree of vehicle protection, affordable pricing policy.

the system can notify the driver of intrusion only by turning on the lights, but the sound signal does not sound;
if necessary, the engine is blocked, which is displayed on the on-board computer screen as a false fault;
activation of the system has several main stages, including self-diagnosis;
using a pager you can not only find out about a break-in or damage to a car, but also conduct a performance test;
There are outputs for connecting a blocking relay, horn and pager.

The mongoose base 475 alarm has established itself as a high-tech system with the maximum functionality provided. The company considered it unprofitable to further develop the line, since in terms of technical capabilities it had brought it to a fairly high level. The kit comes with a convenient and understandable instruction manual that can acquaint the car owner with all the intricacies of the protection system.

Instructions:

Press button No. 1 - the siren will sound, the headlights will start flashing, the doors will close, and the engine will start;

Recommendations from experts

Each owner of a vehicle who will independently install the Mongoose alarm system must use the connection diagram for this security system. During the work process, experts recommend adhering to the following recommendations:

Decide on the location of installation of sensors, antenna, radio receiver, control unit, siren and other elements of the Mongoose car alarm.
Neither moisture nor dirt should get into the installation location of the control unit and siren. This element should be kept away from heat sources.
To achieve maximum comfort, the radio receiver and antenna should be installed at the highest point.
All power circuits must be protected by fuses.
The location of the impact sensors should be as close as possible to the axis (longitudinal) of the vehicle.
