Right iv decided just to....

[djbex]

get a sparkrite car alarm from Argos, item number 10 on page 924the Sparkrite SRA6
If everyone could look and maybe guide me, im wondering if this alarm would be easy to fit by myself? iv gotten quotes and there a bit steep.
Do i have to pull things apart or do i have to take parts off? do i have to drill? it says simple to install.....yeh ok for a pro!!

I was going to go for a toad but im going to do that next year after xmas has past, too many presents to get lol
Thanks for your time ppl for helping me in this

kk of all places argos!!!!!

Doubt its really worth it lee. Would in my opinion be a piece of piss for a thief to beat. Would be better to save for the Toad and get a quality alarm.

[alex19]

lol

[djbex]

hhhhmmmmmm but id rather just have the piece of mind untill i can afford the toad mate.

oh and Alex, go and annoy another threadlol

[Smithy]

Fair enough but would the alarm really give you peace of mind?

Alex is trying to get 1000 posts and is posting even mors shite than usual. Think the boss should wipe his post count and set him at 0 again.

[jamesg88]

them alarms will be shit like dave says, toad are quality alarms but at the end of the day a alarm ain't gunna stop a thief is it.

Ive just looked on Ebay, what about this? SCORPION CAR ALARM 3000T + IMMOBILISER

[Smithy]

Unless its a cat 1 or 2 alarm/immobiliser then its not really worth having. Plus its got to be installed by a pro to get the thatcham rating.
Anything else is just throwing your money away really.

[jamesg88]

deffo needs to be category 1 really mate

Yeh Oz, what are you on about????? smileys/smiley5.gif smileys/smiley5.gif

[jamesg88]

i dont know how easy they are to fit yourself as i got mine installed on the cheap from a mate smileys/smiley4.gif

[djbex]

cool, im just wondering if it would be loads and loads of hassle lol

[SaxoAL]

DIY alarms may advertise as being 'easy fit'. But you have to have a bit of knowledge into the car electical system. You have to be able to tap into the cars ingnition system if the alarm has an immobiliser, and also if it has central lock feature then uneed to be able to gain accesss to the door lock release solenoids and running wiring up the car to mount switches on all doors and boot/bonnet etc is a pain. and interior sensors...
Its not alot of hassle if u have the patience and the knowledge to be able to work at it for a good day really. Id say save and get a pro fit alarm. smileys/smiley4.gif

[djbex]

Yeh i think i might now, cheers Alex.

[SaxoAL]

no worries!
besides there are some companies in the magazine offering cat1 systems fitted for £275, which to be honest is brilliant!

[djbex]

Yeh ive seen that in the paper mate. ullt installed toad alarm cat 1 for £275 but i dont really have that money with xmas coming up ...BAH!! humbuglol

[SaxoAL]

yeh , jus have to save the money til after xmas then ...

[djbex]

Yeh i know, pity tho. what av u got?

[SaxoAL]

Ive got a toad cat1 on mine. Was installed on it already when i got the car.

[djbex]

Cool, is it a good alarm?
Have you heard of these new alarms that hace a digital key fob and it tells you what bit of your car has been boken into or it tells u if your alarm is activated or not

[SaxoAL]
