​Vehicle parameters 

All of our Pandora systems are designed to work on almost any vehicle. But every vehicle manufacturer is different. On most installs, our systems talk digitally through the vehicles CANbus network or by adding external temperature sensors. The information read by the alarm system through the CANbus network won't always be exact. Therefore, in some small cases, the fuel, temperature, and other vehicle parameters may not display on the Pandora app (vehicle dependent). If they do display, most of the time we can adjust to be as close as we can to the true reading. Normally between 0-50% of the original vehicle reading.

​

Vehicle factory OEM alarm systems:

Most modern cars are fitted with a factory immobiliser and/or alarm system. These alarms can be updated by the vehicle manufacturer at any time when your vehicle goes in for a service or remotely at any time through the SIM card built into the vehicles BCM. To gain control of the OEM alarm system on any vehicle fully, we sometimes need to use an external Pandora Module (POA) which controls your spare OEM remote. This then gives your Pandora system full control of your factory settings, including on some vehicles mirror closure, deadlocks, roof closure, and control of the OEM arm and disarm. On some vehicles, if the extra module is not used, you will still be able to arm the pandora and lock the vehicle through your OEM remote and the Pandora remote/app. However, on some vehicles, you can disarm the Pandora and unlock the car remotely through the OEM remote, but not through pressing disarm on the Pandora control. Please ask your installer for more information on your vehicle. 

​

GSM & Online alarm system SIM card/subscription packages:

To use the Online & GSM features of the GPS systems including but not limited to Professional, Smart Pro, Camper, Eye Pro, Finder, Nav X, Smart, Tracer & Elite alarm systems, you will need a SIM card bundle supplied by us or your local authorised dealer. You will receive the first 6 months (180 days) for free activated from the day of installation automatically by your installer. This will give you unlimited use under our fair use policy. You will receive your own unique alarm telephone number which will be registered in the owner's name. It is your responsibility to make a note of this number. After the free period ends, to continue using the alarm online & GSM features including texts and calls, sim packages can be purchased as 6 months or 12 months bundles. If you decide not to continue with the subscription after the free period your alarm will still function as a short-range security system with Bluetooth control,

but without the alarms GSM, text, call, and online alarm services and communications. Sim bundles are registered in your name and packages are non-transferable to other vehicles/alarms/persons. Once activated, you have 21 days to cancel for a refund of the remainder of the term left. If cancelled or no longer needed after these 21 days no refund can be given. After this period the subscription cannot be cancelled. Each subscription covers connection and contact to one owner telephone Number. If a second contact telephone number is needed to be added to the account a £30 fee will be added for each additional phone number. If your bundle period expires you have 14 days to purchase a new sim bundle. If a sim bundle runs over the 14 days after expiring, a £25 admin fee may be added to reactivate the SIM card. In some cases, a new sim may also need inserting into the alarm brain itself, which will be chargeable. We will try to send you a text reminder to your registered phone number a few days before your sim is about to expire. However, this is not guaranteed. It’s your responsibility to keep the sim bundles up to date. So please make a note of the expiry date. 

​

Sim plans cover U.K. coverage only. The alarms should still have coverage if used in any European country up to 60 consecutive days, but there is no guarantee due different roaming services. after 60 consecutive days, roaming charges will apply for the usage of GPS OR GSM features. Please email subscriptions@pandoracaralarms.co.uk for more information. Any use outside of any European country will incur extra charges, as your mobile phone would.

​

Fair use guidelines within the EU/EEA for Subscriptions by the Network.

1. ​

   1. You may only use the network services, as fair use or standard tariff in the EU/EEA/Zone1 destinations for periodic travel, like holidays or short breaks.

   2. As part of our fair use policy, the network may monitor and check your roaming use over a rolling 4-month period. If, during this period, you have spent more time abroad than at home and/or your roaming usage exceeds your domestic usage we reserve the right to apply a surcharge of £1.50 per day to your roaming consumption in conjunction with the network company. 

   3. There is also the possibility that the local network will block your service if they see your SIM is connected for extended periods beyond 60 consecutive days.

​

Sim bundle cost after 6 months free period for one registered telephone number - 6 Months (180 days) - £70.00. 12months (360 days) £125.00. £60.00 for each additional phone number added to the account for every 6 months. Unlimited use under our fair use policy. Prices are subject prices are subject to change without notice.

​

Fair use policy:

If the fair use is exceeded by excessive use, or by using the alarm system outside Europe, your allocated credit for the 6/12month period, maybe used much quicker.  If the balance on your account reaches £0.00 your GSM services will stop working. In this case you will need to add a minimum of £50 to your account to reactivate your services. 

For more information on sim bundles, fair use policy or rates please email us at subscriptions@pandoracaralarms.co.uk  prices are subject to change without notice

​

 

Additional sensor:

The additional external part of the vs22 sensor with warn away we no longer add to our systems. It can be added to any of our alarm packages for an extra cost. This will give two zones. Zone 1 senses internal motion inside the vehicle's cabin. Zone 2 senses motion just outside the vehicle, sensing motion on the front two doors just inside the wing mirrors have found the proximity and warn away sensor work on 80% of vehicles with no issues. However, some vehicles that are fitted with internal factory and aftermarket electrical wireless antennas can interfere with the sensor causing intermittent false alarms and will not work. Factory fitted DAB antennas, internet modems or dongles, security sensors, trackers and other aftermarket wireless devices including dash cams and trackers, can cause interference to the sensor causing Intermittent false alarms. or the sensor not to work at all. Your installer will fit this sensor as an extra to your alarm if requested. If after the system is fitted and the sensor does false alarm or not function, it will need to be disabled in the smartphone app or removed completely. In some cases, the false alarms are caused by the sensor being set too high and simply turning it down will stop most false alarms. However, it is advised that you do not buy this alarm system solely for this sensor as it may not work on your vehicle and may need the external zone disabling.

​

Window & mirror closure:

Window and mirror closure is not included as standard with any of our alarm packages. Some modern cars have full closure already fitted to the vehicle from factory. Some of these vehicles we can control comfort closure with CANbus commands from the alarm system and will be part of your install. Older vehicles may need extra wiring, or a full window closure module fitted to each door to control the windows. Pandora does not make/supply window closure modules, therefore it will not be included in the package.

 

Anti-Hijack:

Unfortunately, we cannot always guarantee that we can safely disable the vehicle's engine for anti-hijack.

Every vehicle is different. We have a large record of vehicle wiring diagrams, which we follow to install our alarm systems on to your vehicle. However, some newer vehicles (anything up to 1-year-old) and rare vehicles, we may not have records for. Unless we have a safe immobiliser point on your vehicle, we will not fit this immobiliser. Your safety comes first. The rest of the alarm system will be installed leaving Anti-Hijack disabled. Further research will then be needed to find a safe immobiliser for anti-hijack on your vehicle. The vehicle will then need to be booked back in and returned to us when the research has been completed. This can take up to 6-12month from the installation date.
