Aftermarket Alarm For Fiesta Mk7

Good Afternoon All

I wanted to make you aware if you're planning on fitting an aftermarket alarm to your vehicle that the mk7 Fiesta's need to be fitted with a 'Canbus' type car alarm.

I spent just over £400 on having a Clifford Concept 650 fitted which wasn't working in harmoney with my factory fitted alarm. It took the fitter a whole day to work on my car, God knows what they were doing.

Any way to cut a long story short I got in touch with a mobile fitter to came to my home, ripped out the Clifford alarm, which took him 30 mins and installed a Viper branded canbus alarm which comes with dual shock sensor, I also had an extra interior sensor fitted as well as a set of air horns. In total it took the fitter an hour to fit the canbus alarm and this didn't include running loads of wires through the car. With a canbus alarm I dont need a seperate remote, everything works off the car key

Regarding the cowboy fitters I went to originally they are based in Leyton, east London and trade as In Car Music and In Car Alarms - STAY AWAY. I'll be adding a pic of the air horns fitted in the engine bay in my gallery just in case others would like to do the same.

Thank you
