my chirper gave up the ghost a while ago and im about to order a new one, but i dont know if i should get the m-80 or m-100 from floyd bell?

looks like m-80. Reason is because m-100 can only handle up to 6v and our car battery is like 12v.

ghettosled - how much are these things? I've been thinkin about wiring one into my remote locks.

good point keithy.

i came across somewhere on the web site that these things were something like $7-10.

*edit* i just sent floyd an email to obatin some more info.

Please do update us with the price quote. Let's hear some "chirp' from your alarm.

alrighty, i just received an email back and put in an order. the part number for our camrys is M-80W (has the longer wire) and sells for $7.98 plus $3.62 for shipping. if i bought 10 of them, then the price would drop to 6.98 each.

are these piezo louder then stock one?? i have a 00 solara with stock alarm and the piezo has been acting up..

that's a decent price for the peizo. I bought mine off the stealership for about 22 + tax about a year ago. Glad that you found the same thing at a better price. Maybe you can ask around here and see if anyone else needs one so that you guys can save on shipping.

i dunno. the one my car came with was from floyd bell and is the direct replacement but with slightly shorter wires than the stock one. mt guess they are the same sound level.

the new one arrived a couple of days ago and i installed it. its actually slightly louder than my old one, but that could be because my old one was about dead.

after installation and testing, you might want to position the piezo facing downwards. The first time I did not face it down, somehow, water got accumulated in the piezo causing the chirp to be very faint. All is good now after positioning the piezo facing down, no more problems whatsoever.
