Anyone got the T Shirt, pointers, easy?

Im going to need Alarm ECU, guessing this is standalone and doesn't need to be paired to the Main ECU etc (I assume this as when swapping Main ECU and Chip Transponders etc all was good without messing with the Alarm ECU, I at least I thought as much, never actually tested Alarm tbh).

So going into an 03 iPlod, bits will come from either Elite or MV6, so parts, Alarm ECU, Dash Button, Sensors (Rear Glass Sensors Estate?), any wiring needed or should it be there. anything else?

And will it all work with Fob, Keys etc without a Tech 2 chat?.

Mine has the rear window sensors taped up with the taillight looms, but no sign of any wiring to the top of the B pillars. The front interior sensors are part of the front reading light, ie the unit with the two 'microphones' on the rear corners.

I suspect the alarm ecu is simply a bigger version of the central locking one

Biggest issue will be identifying whether the alarm wiring is present at the three main plugs connecting the dash to the car (two behind front passenger kick panel and one behind drivers iirc).

Often the wiring is present on the dash side of the plugs, but terminated in the loom on the car side

Have fun tracing the looms

Might all be plug and play too... but don't forget to check the wiring behind the interior sensor switch, as it might have been used for 'alternative' purposes

Thanks Al, will have a quick look at the wiring or lack of it first before I proceed, not on the list of priorities but plan to doing something some.

don't forget, you'll also need to swap the rear side windows for ones with the sensor attachments... they're bolted in though, so not too bad a job, and it gives you a chance to remove the window gutter and clean/check behind it
