Maffoo Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I got the call that my new Fezzy arrived in the country today (yay!) I asked the dealer if they could upgrade the alarm to a Thatcham Cat 1 one, as I was under the impression it was a dealer upgrade... But I was told that it could only have been done when it was built as it was a factory job. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan ZS Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 No idea... i didn't hear of no factory option... wouldn't have had it anyway as all factory options for alarms are useless. I got myself a Clifford canbus with all the toys for £400 fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffoo Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Does that mean an extra dongle on your keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Tierney Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I know that my dealers is fitting me a Thatcham Cat 1 alarm, with tilt sensors(for jacking up for alloys/towing) and for if someone bumps into the car. They are fitting it at the dealers. Ive been asking my sales guy for 2 weeks now to find out exactly what it is. He just says its fords own one and can only get the details of it once its installed and he has the paper work- im not happy with having something in the car that might not be 100% what I want. Id just like to know its my money and my car. But to answer your question, my dealership(Benfield ford, york road,leeds) are fitting it.

Rippers Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) ford dont fit them at factorys, they're considered after-market.. so the dealer is lying to you. Go to a different dealer. Edited March 25, 2010 by DanGull DO NOT use langauge like that on FOC. The policy on foul languge is clearly shown atop every forum on FOC. This particular use of language was so foul - and the topic so utterly inappropriate, that I'm adding a warning to your account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Tierney Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Im getting a thatch CAT1 alarm fitted by my dealer, £399 fitted with tilt sensors and "bump" sensors(cant think what to call them, pre warm beep on a small ding, alarm goes on second one or a big one) Anywat I was flicking through ford webby speccing a focus for parents and as an option on the car it said Thatcham Cat1 alarm- £102 =O Im going to ask my dealer about it because although 399 isnt a bad price how different can the alarms be from the fiesta to the focus, unless its because they might be fittted at factory,but still? Anyone got any ideas? Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
