Does yours not already have the alarm installed then? The standard alarm is a CAT 1 alarm as far as i know.

If you are wanting a second alarm, then i'd suggest a clifford jobby. The new ones with the anti-hijack system are meant to be good i think.

i'll have to have a look

have a look round for the ultrasonics inside at the top of the windscreen pillars, little microphones.. that'll tell you if its bell'd up or not.
Toad AI606's are good..

mines an import and still has the imobiliser one way to find out is take the plip out of the key then see if it will start,i've got an autowatch alarm on my 172 and it has proximity sensor which was £280,i wouldnt bother with a clifford a few of my mates have got them and imo they are overpriced and play up a lot
and for people who reckon cliffords work fine if fitted properly i've been told by 2 alarm fitters that there not that good

The car has an imobiliser as standard regardless of where its from originally.
have a look the the fornt door pillars there hsould be little sensors also look down by the gear stick there should be a red LED.
