The 7 Series is the flagship Alarm/Immobiliser in the Cyclops line up. It is based on the 3 Series alarm, so has the same security features. What makes it better is the transponder remotes.
The most recent modification of the range occurred back in 2007, when Cyclops introduced the TX-90T remote. leading a trend for remotes to have that original equipment look you would expect from the factory rather than the aftermarket look.
Transponder Remotes
The thing that sets the 7 Series apart from the competition is the remote controls work like a transponder.
Most of us who have had insurance approved alarms, can testify how annoying it is for the immobiliser to kick in after that 30-40 second gap between disarming the car and going to start it.
The 7 Series eliminates this with its transponder remote which quite simply switches off the immobiliser when it is in range of the ignition barrel. You quite simply forget about the immobiliser as it disarms.
P755 Remote Immobiliser (Optional alarm that uses the horn for a siren)
P775 Alarm/Immobiliser/Glass Break + Siren
P785 Alarm/Immobiliser/Glass Break + BB Siren
Options
Cyclops offers the 7 Series with a variety of siren options, the P755 uses the vehicle’s horn. Next in the range is the P775 which comes with an additional siren and a glass break sensor. Finally, there is the P785 which has the Battery Back-up siren.
My pick of the Bunch has to be the P775, which is due to its transponder remote is arguably the most practical alarm available. The security housing for the main alarm/immobiliser module is smaller and easier to live with than the AVS or Mongoose alternatives.
It’s only serious competition is the Autowatch 446RiSG which is more compact, but that lacks the transponder remote.
Cyclops 7 Series RRP:
P755 $540.00 Insurance Approved: AS/NZS 4601:1999. (Old 3 Star rating)
P775 $640.00 Insurance Approved: AS/NZS 4601:1999. AS/NZS 3749.1:2003 Class B. (Old 4 Star rating)
P385 $720.00 Insurance Approved: AS/NZS 4601:1999. AS/NZS 3749.1:2003 Class A. (Old 5 Star rating)
Obsessive Rating: The P775 is the pick of the bunch and a highly recommended Alarm System.
The remotes are tidy and look good without having any pointless buttons, but the siren on the P785 is disappointing when compared to those offered by Cobra and Autowatch
Note: These alarms were sold under the Dynatron brand name until 2012.
