andihaz 0 Posted April 17, 2004 Hi all, Just got my first corrado and it was advertised as having cat 1 alarm and immobiliser, but the certificate of installation is only for a cat 2 laserline transponder immobiliser, and the alarm/central locking fob has serpi star written on it, i've found the control unit for this under the glovebox and it has GR40 written on it (guessing that might be the model number) and it also has a 1990 sticker on it. What I dont know is what category of alarm is, and is it the factory fitted alarm? My car is a very late 90 H plate. Does anyone have any information on this alarm. I'd like to find a replacement case for the fob, but cant seem to find anyone with them. I know this doesnt make perfect sense but at the mo, i'm very confused about all of it.[/img] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted April 17, 2004 I'm fairly certain that's an early Cobra alarms fob... OK, I was wrong about that bit... Serpi star ARE a seperate company... try HERE for a spare fob... 8) Sounds like someone's installed a CAT2 afterwards and left the original (non-factory) alarm on as well to do the central locking and the like... Probably doesn't come upto full CAT1 standards, but as long as the CAT2 bit works OK and you've got proof of installation, the insurance company will be happy... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm 0 Posted April 17, 2004 Nah Serpi star was a brand in its own right. As henny say the chances of this being Thatcham approved are very limited. Try this company they may be able to help: http://www.abacuscaralarms.co.uk/alarms ... remote.htm http://www.abacuscaralarms.co.uk/alarms/remotes.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted April 17, 2004 Serpi Star have done the factory fit alarms on BMWs in the past and they do have some that are Cat 1. If you do want a cat 1 fitting, I only live down the road near Warrington and can sort you out. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoundsAlarming 0 Posted April 17, 2004 A Serpi Star with that remote is defenatly not CAT1 or even CAT2-1 The Immobiliser fob is a Laserline so theres a 99% chance that it is CAT2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
