Alarm Imobiliser on a A82?

[choong-moo]

My insurance want proof of a thatcham security device on my 2005 RB182. Does the factory fitted device not cover this?

Yes it does, but you need to provide your insurance with the installers certificate, which should be in your owners manual (assuming it has the alarm?).

Alarm is Cat 1.
Immobiliser is Cat 2.

Thanks for reply. Hmmmm, Thats a problem as i dont have the owners manual. How can there be an installers cert if it's factory fitted? It does have an alarm which looks FF but how would i know?

 

[Da]

The alarms are fitted at the import centre when they land at the docks, before delivery to the dealer.

Does it have a small red LED down by the gear stick?

 

[choong-moo]

Yes.

Then it will have the OE cat 1 alarm.

What insurance company are you with?

 

[choong-moo]

It's via HIC who are a broker. Cant remeber the actual insurer off the top of my head. Cars not an import, i know that for sure.

 

[Da]

Well if it's definitely not an import, then I can't understand why they need proof. It's UK spec and as such will have the alarm.

Maybe try calling RUK and ask if they have the installers details on the system?

 

[choong-moo]

Will do Da. Thanks for the advice.

No, call the insurers and tell them to stop being so idiotic.

Sorted. Just had to sign a declaration stating that it had a fully functional OEM Alarm & Imobiliser. Happy days eh
