Q1: Most of your posted prices are in Japanese Yen. How do convert to US Dollars or another currency
A: You can convert to the currency of your choice using this Yahoo Finance page. And please note that we talk about discounts and Competitive Pricing here. 
Q2: You don't seem to have a web store. How do I order?
A: Please see our SHOPPING info for details.
Q3: I live in Japan. Will KIRAMEK install a product for me?
A: No, because we sell through car dealerships, pro shops and retail chain stores that provide such services to consumers in Japan. You can see our Retail Store Dealers here, and in Japanese we have posted SCIBORG dealers here.
Q4: Where can I buy your CYCLONE motorcycle alarm?
A: Please read our answer here.
Q5: We want to buy your products in bulk, can you send me pricing?
A: We receive many inquiries like this each week. But before discussing our discounted dealer pricing, we ask that you first acquire a product sample to evaluate. Samples are not free of charge, but in most cases we charge less than our posted retail prices. Then when you have tested a product sample and are satisfied with its operation and appearance, we would then be more than happy to discuss bulk pricing and shipping terms.
Q6: The bulk price you quoted me is higher than what many Chinese alarm makers advertise on B-to-B sites. Why can't you sell me a complete security system for under $50?
A: We don't sell junk. KIRAMEK is not in the business of making novelty products or simple "noise-maker" alarms. KIRAMEK manufactures high-quality "security systems," designed especially for customers who are interested in the latest technology, aesthetics, durability and value.
When KIRAMEK builds a security device at our factories in Taiwan or China, our quality assurance staff from Japan are present on the assembly line performing a 100% QC check to ensure our zero-defect policy is enforced. We also deliberately spend more money to purchase most of our electronic components (e.g., ICs, batteries, etc.) from parts manufacturers based outside China. Components with the same specifications (on paper) are also made in China and sold for very low prices, but the quality is much lower than the same parts built outside China. In addition, we prefer to use the newest electronic components, many of which have become available on the market only within the last 5 years. This means that KIRAMEK can offer customers of the same high level of quality at its Taiwanese and Chinese factories as it offers for products assembled in Japan. This is why our products cost more than some competing security systems, but that extra cost results in real "value" which sets apart KIRAMEK products from the competition.
Despite our higher costs at the factory resulting from our strict adherence to quality, KIRAMEK is still far from being most expensive aftermarket security manufacturer. What's surprising is that some vehicle security companies who are higher priced build their devices in China and use the cheapest quality Chinese-made electronic components! We have a higher quality standard and a commitment to excellence in manufacturing. Nevertheless, KIRAMEK is extremely competitive on bulk pricing. We are willing to work with you on price in conjunction with your estimated order volume. In some cases, we also extend additional discounts over time to encourage follow-up orders. At KIRAMEK, we are committed to ensuring all our valued buyers "get what they pay for."
Q7: How is kiramek.com affiliated with visionsecurity.jp?
A: KIRAMEK is the manufacturer of VISION security and lighting. We own and operate both websites. Kiramek spun off its Vision security product line into a separate web domain in order to strengthen the image of that security brand. The visionsecurity.jp site was also built to accommodate the promotional needs of our exclusive Japanese distributor, the TMY Corporation.
Q8: Why won't my SCIBORG 825K system start my engine now? It worked before!
A: This is a common question when the weather changes and most often occurs when it becomes very cold. The reason in the vast majority of cases is due to the fact that the installer did not connect the 825K's GRAY/BLACK Tachometer input to the vehicle's tachometer signal wire. Most often, installers find connections to the Oil Sensor or L-Terminal easier, and of course, both of these connections are fully supported. But we recommend connections to the vehicle's TACH wire so the 825K can see when the engine is running and auto-adjust crank duration. Please refer to page 16 of the Installation Guide. In the event the Tach wire cannot be found or if installation is simply too difficult to connect to Tach, then you will simply need to change the crank duration during the winter and set it back at summer time. This is described on line 3 of the table given on page 12 of the Owner's Guide. But keep in mind that the 825K can only see if the engine is running when the connection is made to the vehicle's Tach wire. For all other connections, setting the crank duration too long may cause the starter to overcrank for a second or so. We therefore offer 4 crank durations to choose from.
