Autowatch Product range
The 446RiS is a 4 star alarm made by Autowatch, the 446RiSG is the same alarm but with an added glass break sensor.
Like the 446RLi Premium the 446RiS has a very small and neat alarm module which is made to comply with Thatcham standards and has an attack proof security housing.
The Siren has a very distinctive sound with soft arm/disarm chirps, yet it can also draw plenty of attention if it needs to. The 446RiS has most of the features that you would expect from a 4 star system without going over the top. To often alarms have a big list of features such as built in turbo timer, OEM remote options etc etc, yet lose sight of the important bit. An alarm is a security device and if fitted correctly the autowatch does this better then any other 4 star alarm.
Attack proof Security Housing!
The 446RiS/RiSG is the only 4 star alarm that has passed Thatchams tests on its security housing. This means that even if the Module is found it is still hard to get inside and by-pass the Immobiliser cuts.
The 446RiS is great for a good install due to its compact size and can be hidden in places that the Mongoose M60/M80 or AVS range simply couldn’t fit. Having said that good installers are about a rare as rocking horse shit so don’t make the assumption that it will be well hidden!
Simple 1 button remote does it all.

Insurance Approved:
NZSA 4 Star
Obsessive Rating: A brilliant 4 star alarm without pointless features!
About the only thing the 446RiS lacks is the boot pop option and silent arm from the remote. If these are features which you need then the Dynatron D3600 may be a better option

After comments from one of my customers last week I felt I should add the following:
The 446RiS/RiSG turns the Hazard lights on for 15 seconds upon disarming (or until the ignition is turned on).
This can not be turned off. It is designed as a convenience feature to help illuminate around the vehicle in the dark.

Hi
I have a corsa with this immobiliser installed in, it use to be central locking but my computer box went and they messed up my whole central locking is there a way to get it back to working the alarm still works and everything but its just the central locking thats not working anymore and can you buy the siren separate from the whole kit as i need a new siren?
Thank you
Charese
Hi Charese,
Yes you can purchase the siren on its own.
Is your Corsa a Toyota or an Opal/Vauxhall/Holden (GM) Model?
It should be possible to replace the central locking relays but I’d need to see what they (I assume some Gremlins have been doing evil things) have done before making further comments!
Where abouts are you located?

Hi Julian, firstly, excellent website you’ve got here! Heaps of very helpful information.
Re: the Autowatch 446RiS,446RiSG system… when you say the hazard lights turn on for 15 seconds upon disarming… Is that flashing lights for 15sec, or constant?
Thanks
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the feedback.
The Hazard lights flash once then come on constant for 15 seconds.
However that does depend on how it is wired up, there is a scenario on some vehicles where they would flash for 15 seconds. This would only be on some modern cars where wiring up each individual light is a mission and I would normally advise about this in advance of the install.
