I have a 5 or 6 year old Crimestopper CS-2016FM that doesn't work any longer, I was wondering if the wiring connection and harness ends are the same with a more updated alarm.

(Meaning that I could just unplug the brain and switch it out with a newer CS model brain?)

Is this possible?

thanks...

Even if you can't find one that fits the original harness all the dirty work is already done. Get a wire diagram of the old and cross reference it with the new and 15 minutes worth of splicing in the new harness.

Thanks for the other replies - I was hoping for an easy switch, but I may have to bite the bullet and get a new one!

Thanks for the responses

The models that most resemble your unit are the CS-2012DP-TW1 / CS-2014DP-TW2-FM / CS-2016DP-FM / CS-2900DP-FM.

These are about 2 years old and have been replaced by the current models about a year ago, so you may still be able to find them.
