Hi All,

I was wondering if any knowledgeable folks out there have any wiring information and connection locations to install an aftermarket car alarm?

I have a 2012 Fabia 1.2 TSi.

Many thanks,

M

Doesn't it already have a factory fitted alarm?

It did have; unfortunately it was unreliable and I suspect a previous owner/garage may have messed with it - siren looks battered.

I just want to fit a new system for reliability.

You can probably pick up a replacement alarm horn very cheaply on the secondhand market. Much easier to just change that than start from scratch.

Car alarms are almost useless anyway, immobiliser does the work these days.

I looked into that too. With the age of these units the battery backup cells would be fairly depleted and breakers are unlikely to check the health of the internal cell.

I've done a siren battery replacement in an Audi and in the end felt it was not really worth it, time and costs considered.
