Star Rating Four Star AVS A4 car alarm and immobiliser Four Star AVS A4 car alarm and immobiliser Enlarge Image

The AVS A4 is a well priced Four Star alarm providing more security for the dollar. Plus with the new generation release April 2009 you can operate the alarm from your car’s factory key and more.

Alarm features:

Two automatic immobilisers

Starter motor and ignition system or fuel pump immobiliser cuts are made so the car cannot be started unless it is disarmed via the remote. The system will immobilise 40 seconds after the ignition is turned off or when the alarm is armed.

Data battery back-up siren

A self powered siren that communicates independently with the alarm so it cannot be fooled into turning off like normal battery back-up sirens.

Turbo timer functions*

The AVS A4 is designed specifically to work with turbo vehicles. It has two turbo timer options to choose from.

On-board turbo timer – no need to fit an external unit - using the on-board turbo timer is the most secure way to have a turbo timer. The alarm is armed as usual but the car will continue to run for the preset run time of 1, 2 or 4 minutes. If the alarm is triggered during this time the car will shut down and the alarm will sound. It can also be turned off prior to the preset run time via the AVS remote.

Turbo timer interface - link the alarm up with your existing external turbo timer so your car will continue to run on the external turbo timer after the alarm is armed as usual. If the alarm is triggered during this time the car will shut down and the alarm will sound.

Door, bonnet and boot protection

If the alarm is armed and a door, bonnet or boot is opened the alarm will sound.

NEW Control the alarm with your vehicle’s factory key*+

If your vehicle has a factory key that locks/unlocks the doors your AVS alarm may be able to interface with it so the alarm arms/disarms at the same time. Boot release will also work from the factory key (and if the alarm is armed it will disarm). This feature will work with most factory keys.

NEW Courier function*

Courier function allows the engine to continue running indefinitely while the system is armed. If the alarm is triggered during this time the car will shut down and the alarm will sound.

Central locking from the remote*

The alarm will lock/unlock the doors when the alarm is armed/disarmed.

Two rolling code waterproof remotes

(If you are not using your car’s factory key to operate the alarm)

Hyper blue LED warning light

Compatible with all AVS accessories and sensors

Three year warranty

Control other devices with your AVS remote*

With the addition of the AVS RXPRO receiver your AVS alarm may be able to open/close your garage door or arm/disarm your house alarm. The module can control many other common remote control devices. Talk with us or your AVS installer for more information.

And for additional security add your choice of sensor:

(additional charges will apply):

  • Shock sensor - triggers the alarm if an impact is detected to the vehicle.
  • Glass break sensor - triggers the alarm if the sound of breaking glass is detected.
  • Ultrasonic sensor - triggers the alarm if a change of air pressure or movement is detected in the cabin of the car.
  • PIR sensor - triggers the alarm if the infrared sensor detects body heat and movement (use to protect the rear of vans and trucks).
  • Microwave sensor - triggers the alarm if body mass movement is detected inside the car (use on convertibles).
  • Reed switch - will trigger if the two halves are moved apart while the alarm is armed (use to protect ute canopies).
