In English? Sorry I don't have a clue about any of this stuff lol

 

[CJGREEN]

Meaning the car wasn't originally made for the UK so it was bought in (imported) like Motorpoint do.

So an aftermarket alarm has been fitted as some countries dont have them fitted as standard.

Iv got all the history and invoice from when it was first registered and bought in the uk

 

[Fred@BTM]

from a renault main dealer? No uk car had that alarm system

 

[CJGREEN]

So then it'll of been taken to have an aftermarket alarm fitted (Shocking as it looks).

I'd either suggest trying to find a receipt of work, or taking it to somewhere that knows what they're doing and they can strip it all out and fit an new one.

Use to be systems that required you to enter a code so the car could be started. Like a manual immobiliser.

I would like to see what they used under that black tape to connect the wires ? If they used any

That looks terrible. What a badly installed setup.

Yes we have all established its terrible wiring! Thank you for you useful input I will write that down in my note book

 

[mark smith87]

Citroen used a keypad immobiliser on some models for a few years but dropped them after a lot of complaints. Plus the built in alarm systems became more widely available.

Why the bad attitude? , people are only trying to help!

Because I'm asking what it is not what people think of the wiring, that's not helping boss

 

[Deeg]

Lose the attitude and you'll have the answer a lot quicker.

Why people join here and give it Billy big spuds when they're the ones who want some information, is completely beyond me.

We sell cars to people with poor credit. Part of the deal is that a tracker/immobiliser is fitted to the car. Everytime they make a payment, they get a pin number to put into the car and that de-activates the immobiliser for the next calender month. If they fail to make a payment they don't get a pin number and the immobiliser cuts in.

That looks like one of those.

"What is this?"

Erm, Out of focus?

Good system, should be used on a wider scale.

Think someone got it right with the sigma. I've got a UK impreza turbo and they have these from standard in the glove box. It's like a pin pad over ride for the alarm/immobiliser. Sometimes the remote doesn't work (these specific sigma's get a lot of tetra interference) and you have to unlock the car manually and punch the code in to deactivate the alarm.

 

[Beasley Clio182]

Same as mine I have a sigma alarm with the keypad in the top right , although mine doesn't work either , it's just working on the fob not the pad !
its a pain kn the arse don't know why it's been fitted they have a alarm standard ! Mines a UK car not a import I have the receipt for fitting ! Need to work it out though lol!

This sounds a pretty good idea

It is. As soon as they miss 3 payments in a row, the tracker goes off and a debt collection agency go and get the car.

 

[Marky_]

Better than only accepting best cash price money.

 

[J.B.]

Never heard of one of those, that's cool.

Also amazed at the poor attitude. Why do people sign up here expecting direct, clear answers 100% of the time. It's a forum, stop acting like a petulant child when someone is quite within their right to comment on the wiring.

 

[jameswrx]

What is with the wiring comments anyway lol

from what I can see it's the stanard loom pulled out of the dash to show two spliced wires ffs? All the 'wiring' that's not oe there are the two wires, which might very well be soldered on under the tape and may or may not even be anything to do with the alarm.

do people realise what the loom looks like behind the dash?
