Select factory fitted and the insurer will know what it is. 

In fact it is a Cat 1, as shown in the Full Category Listing  PDF accessible from this page:

You are right Osprey but insurers see the selection of the Cat1/2 as an aftermarket fitting. Factory fit is the only option for the Omega fitted with an alarm as standard. It may void any claims made if they figure out you have given the wrong information :y

Aghh! Why can't life be simple.

I suppose I had better put factory fit.
Thanks.
