kirban 2 cents worth
The "Touch and Go System" originally sold by us from around 1992 thru 1999.
The price varied during that time span because we dealt with one company originally and that company stopped making it and then I had another company who happen to own a turbo regal make them for us.
Going by memory it sold for around $55 to $65.
The reason it was so popular for our cars is the unit had no siren to install.
You only cut one wire in your car, the cranking wire.
It set automatically 25-30 seconds after you shut your car off...nothing to remember each time.
No switch to trigger. You simply touched one metal screw that was mounted in plastic such as your dash panel or console and any ground like the spoke of your steering wheel.
It has a valet mode meaning when you get your car worked on the car would start normally each time.
The entire control box is smaller than a pack of cigerettes.
It appealed to a wide range of owners especially those owners that like a stock car since nothing can be seen. So your car still looked stock.
This new one we just are having made has a smaller control box draws .004 amps old unit drew .0.l0 amps when car was not in use.
Unfortunately, not much is available today to protect our cars from theft. We used to sell the metal car guard that surrounded the steering column. Our source for them dried up but you see them once in awhile on ebay usually $50 or more.
No method is fool proof, however, the fact is, this system sets automatically, nothing to remember and you only cut one wire in your car. What happens is the car will not crank when this triggers in 25-30 seconds. The internal relay is automotive low voltage. Each unit is bench tested.
It will work on virtually any car/truck with no air bags no computer chip in the ignition key meaning the entire older collectible car market. Even if you have an alarm this wlll work in conjunction with it. You do mount a small L.E.D. lite we recommend you install it on the small panel that has the small air vent under your steering column.
I had one in my Syclone and my GN years ago....never a problem with them. Besides even if a problem arises you only have to reconnect one single wire.
I am not big on alarms and sirens this is slick because you don't have to remember heck you don't even have to lock your doors.
I already have my first samples and and in the midst of doing detailed directions specifically for the turbo regals with photos. We will have a special intro price on them once we have them ready to go. The projected retail price will be under $80 obviousily we can't match a price from 7-8 years ago.
I do know back in the day it has saved at least 2 cars from being stolen. The key is no switch or trigger is used. You touch two screws in the car at the same time.
Normal looking trim screws.....they can be existing screws. Plus, if your car has a good ground system you only need to touch one screw and any metal in your car such as the spoke on your steering wheel.
