Dai Gets Alarmed

One of the things I wasn't too keen on was the fact that Dai has no immobiliser or alarm as standard. Whilst this shouldn't be a problem it does leave things a bit vulnerable. I had a hunt round and considered doing my own fitment, however I found a local auto electrician who quoted a very reasonable price for a full alarm and immobiliser install, including the additional door lock motor for the central locking interface.

I liked the fact that his website gives clear information and quotes all-in prices directly, none of this "call for best price". As he lives about a mile from where I work it seemed to make sense to get the install done there. It took about 2 hours (so would have taken me a lot more I suspect) but is now all sorted.

I might do a little bit of a change to the programming, as standard you have to start the engine within 45 seconds of unlocking or the immobiliser rearms itself. With it being a motorhome I think this may be a nuisance but it's easy enough to sort.

If anyone in the East Midlands area is looking for a similar job I can recommend Alan Smith, www.alansmith.co.uk
