just a reminder that when you remove the power sounder your car no longer meets thatcham cat 1 status and i have heard that insurance investigators have been known to check forums to see if people have mentioned removing parts of the alarm system so dont forget to mention the new power sounder you have refitted 
Interesting, I wonder what the Statistics are on the number of Insurance Claims for Omega's being stolen through not having a Power Sounder fitted compared to the number of Claims for the same Car being burnt to the ground with the PS fitted?
Easy one - depends on what you have told your insurance company when you took out the policy.
If you said it had a Thatcham Cat 1 factory fit alarm, then whether it is stolen or catches fire, they should pay out.
If you have told them that you have a Cat 1 and have removed any of its components, then technically its now regarded as insurance fraud.
For what its worth, I`m actually on the list of technical consultants and Insurance assessors for some of the electrical fires caused by incorrect and dangerous fitment of audio and security systems and beleive me, they are clamping down on this very hard. There are checklists of what to look for - and I can confirm that the Omega Powersounder is one of them. If you remove your powersounder, then make sure you either replace it, or tell your insurance company - I am aware of some instances where they were not actually bothered, just so long as they were made aware of it !!
