I got a meta alarm fitted for £200 from an approved agent & meta is the company the likes of Audi/VW & merc etc use if a client spec's an aftermarket alarm. They ripped out the old alarm that had stopped me starting my car & fitted a new one on the drive then dropped the keys off at my work. Theres probably a dealer near you as they are country wide!!

Don't bother with one of these. I had one rebranded as a 'stirling' on my 1st corsa and the only time it ever went off was when a football hit the roof... Spend that little bit extra and get the AI606, which I think i'm gonna do...

It was a guy local to me in Sheffield! I searched Ebay for a fitter and looked who had the best feedback! And he was recommended by a few people aswell!

Took the guy 4 hours to fit mine!!
The two extra's i had were total closure that shuts the windows when you put the alarm on, and dual shock sensor so if something hits the car the alarm will go off!
what features don't you under stand?
