    the bottom one does not say its thatcham approved anyway. stick with a TOAD or LASERLINE cat1.

    I have a sterling (says part of the toad ground on instruction) not sure which one it is but cat2 and it remote opens locks also. Not sure if all of them do that. Seems good has movement sensors too

    yes i thought the Toad would be a safe bet, looks a good price too!

    sterling was bought out by toad quite a few years back, hence the link between the two, but both have been kept seperate companies. just for the record, a cat1 is an alarm & immobiliser in one unit, a cat2 is just an immobiliser, and a 2 to 1 upgrade is just an alarm unit which is fitted to a vehicle that already has a thatcham approved immobiliser.

     

     

    i bought my own toad cat1 which cost £90 trade.

    I'm sure my alarm is a cat2 I have a road watch immobiliser seperate. I will check on my instructions tommorrow

    it is possible that you have a cat2 as they had a short run of thatcham approved cat2 alarms a few years back. didnt seem to last long though. i am a toad approved installer but been out of the game for a few years now, so not kept up with what has been released. for every alarm or immobiliser, it costs the manufacturers around £10k each model to get a thatcham approval.

    think you may find that was a cat 2-1 upgrade. fitted many of them on toyotas for the dealers, mainly the avensis.
