	I've been told that they always overcharge for the actual locking kit though so would it be worth buying it seperate from somewhere like HERE and getting whoever installs the alarm to do that when they install the alarm (i realise they will still charge more for the fitting though) how much do you think it would cost to get an alarm fitted with remote central locking?
Fraser Young	posted on 9th Jan 05 at 13:59
	extra for central locking but not too much... Alarm is a sound investment IMO...
Carr	posted on 9th Jan 05 at 13:58
	I was thinking about getting an alarm before i start doing anything serious to my car but ive not even got central locking let alone remote central locking. would this increase what i would have to pay or would they install it as part of the fitting fee (i doubt it)

	iirc current a cat 1 alarm will take your insurance down by about 10% just make sure you get something that wont go off when it shouldnt coz you'll end up just turning it off all the time and get something with motion sensors incase some chav trys bending down the top of your door like they did with mine, the alarm only when off when hed got his arm in unlocked the door and opend it. but then i dont have a cat 1

	i have a cobra something or other CAT 1. Its never gone off when it shouldnt have, like when the wind changes direction or because its thursday like some do, and its CAT 1 thatcham approved. Itl do for me.

	Prob gonna get the Toad Ai606
Joff	posted on 9th Jan 05 at 00:00
	Quality of installation is just as important as the brand of alarm. Thatcham Cat 1 is only good if it's a current certificate (some older alarms dont pass on the current level of test), and only worthwhile if it affects your insurance premium. Some alarms might not get Cat 1 status purely because they include toys such as remotestart, but they can still provide all the security offered by others.
Adzy2k2	posted on 8th Jan 05 at 23:59
	cheers i werent sure if they were quality or not cos aint heard of them that much! top man i was looking at that 2 as its fitted for £300
Fraser Young	posted on 8th Jan 05 at 23:54
