owen g60 10 Posted May 23, 2012 These are a real pain to remove as they're tied into everything. I have ended up sticking it in valet mode and refitting the factory immobiliser Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patrick p 10 Posted May 23, 2012 remind me what is the valet mode is that the rocker switch on centre console if so what do i do to put it in valet mode? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
owen g60 10 Posted May 23, 2012 Yes it is that switch. I can't remember the combination but the user manual has it in there. If you don't have the manual google is your friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted May 23, 2012 Time to replace i think. had the same with the same system 5 years ago so replaced with the latest version and has been spot on since, i think connection s etc seem to have a limited lifespan with alarms to be honest and over 10 years is not bad going really. The later alarm even cost £50 less than the concept 50 i had fitted in 1999 too :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emu 0 Posted May 23, 2012 it took me about 3,5h to remove clifford concept from one corrado and fitting it in another one so it is not a big job, there is around 15 wires to connect to your loom, job done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patrick p 10 Posted May 23, 2012 thanks for the advice i wk in the motor trade but in the parts side of things but i know an auto electrician who may take the job on if i tell him 3,5hrs removal time cheers pat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p0l1wrath 10 Posted May 23, 2012 Oh My God I hate my concept 50! had the car for about a month now, remote is battered, I'm forever locking it and unlocking it to start the car, but i do have the manual, it was in with the history, i suppose i should give it a read! if i find anything useful ill report back :) might scan it in and upload it if you cant find anything on it, as I'm sure other people will want a copy as well? Debating whether to go back to what was there originally, or get a new alarm? but i don't know what was there originally? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
