    just save up for a proper CAT1...you will be spending 50 quid on this alarm and then another 200+ for a CAT1...just get the CAT1 when you can, save yourself 50 squids

    you will be fine, just get a red LED that blinks and a few 9v batteries, wire the LED to somewhere you can see it like a door pin and connect the 9v battery whenever you leave the car lmao...its cheap, effective and temporary untill you can get your CAT1

    no probs mate ...just checked his website and all his alarms are from 135 quid fitted so if you say you dont want it fitted he might drop the price a little bit

    Alright Paul, I've been looking at ai606 off ebay brand new £125 delivered and fit it myself. They say comes with inurance certificate, Don't know how that works as the alarm needs to be checked over by a qualified fitter to get the certificate
    Don't you fancy fitting it yourself?

    not a clueto be honest matey ... he did say its got all the 'usual' functions. RCL/total closure/door/bonnet sensors

    i would be getting that toad one though. a hell of alot of ppl have said its well worth it. even the deals on £200 fully fitted are worth it apparently

    the hornet range is very reasonable in price. The Avital maxx1 is a copy of the toad ai606 and is a lot cheaper in price
