DIY Car Alarm fitting

bought a car alarm yesterday and I want to do decent and tidy job of installing it - so to anyone who has done this kind of thing - which is the best wire to use for the power drain detection and which is the best wire for the permanent 12+ volt connection? Thanks, Bilky

    Is it a "Thatcham approved" alarm? If so, and you want your insurance company to accept it, you have to get it installed by an approved dealer.

     

    If not, sorry, I don't know the answer!

    Agree with DaveM,

     

    Give Bob a phone (his number is in the contacts sect) he aint far aways from ya and im sure he will do you a good price on it. May as well get that insurance discount, will probably compensate from any fitting charges.

     

    Z ya

    No, its not Thatcham approved coz only the immobiliser needs to be so the alarm is just a noise making extra. Question still stands on which wires to use!!

    wouldn't the "power drain detection" and a "permanent +12V" feed be the same thing ?

     

    If you are on a permanent live, and the battery is disconnected....

     

    But, i would say anywhere around the radio for those wires
