I would replace both batteries with the same battery that the gps came with. I have not had a problem with the move to mobile iq. Just sucks that you lose the remote start option. IT would be better to go with the bigger battery because you are running all those extra siren. O yea, the car looks very nice!

so the battery came :D damn thing was larger than i expected... but made it work some how hahaha... the only problem i have is the damn gps still didnt contact me about the battery disconnect ive check the plugs and im still recieving 12v.. so i think its either the bit write or the bass cap messes with that also. any ideas?..

Its the cap on the car. Its going to take a sec for the gps to see the voltage drop. Same as for the 520t. Make sure that you have the hood pin to trigger the alarm before they go for the battery. If they open it no matter what the alarm will still go off and pull from the back up battery.

haha of course i have a hood pin it is a must.. u taught us well sensei :D
long story short i found the problem.. it was the dei plastic plugs i guess i some how fk them up while extending the wires fixed it by bypassing those plastic snap on plugs... works 100% now

multimeter or just set your alarm off and pull the battery terminal..

the only reason why im concern about the battery disconnect feature is be cause if i get a call for the alarm trigger it might be accidental trigger or whatever but if i get a call for alarm triggered, battery disconnect and low battery im gonna run out with a freaking gun or something..
