Alarm

Its not so much which cat 1 alarm you get as they will pretty much all control your central locking, but how well its fitted. All connections soldered and shrink sleeved.

no issues there, electronics background. have been quoted £350+ fitted, so will fit myself, looking at toad ai606 or clifford

If you fit it yourself, it won't be Cat 1 (Which doesn't really mean anything anyway, apart from insurance recognition).

I have a Viper remote start two way pager alarm in mine. I fitted it myself, and its been good so far!

Alarm

Used to work in a place fitting alarms and lost count of vehicles that came to us with alarms not working. They were fitted by supposed installers. That was a long time ago and a lot better training now. But its like in any trade, its only as good as your best man.

re alarms

Have read somewhere you can fit it yourself, and pay for a qualified tech to sign it off , thats if he's happy with the instillation you have carried out, think it cost £30

Ai606 was fitted to my 3rd gen 5 years ago & had no problems at all, had the full closure fitted to windows as an extra.

It worked well, as I found out one night.

[Fey!]

I have a Cobra immobiliser fitted; it's one of the ones with a touch fob.

I don't have an alarm, but I do have remote central locking fitted.

re alarm

Thanks guys
will be going with the toad ai606, costs £105 and will be fitting myself, have spoken to the man from shop again today says he will send out data sheet for installing alarm, he was concerned as its a jap import and the wiring can get a bit messy, so recommended test all wire first to get correct ones. Anyway will let you know the outcome and any issues.

Hi Ark, let us know how you get on as I am looking for an alarm / central locking set up myself.

I am not from an electronics background but I am a bit of a DIYer in most things and I have a soldering iron and multimeter!

cheers

Not if your worst man fitted it.

Indeed, and I wouldn't want him working on my stuff!
