alfa romeo spider factory alarm

hi guys i have a customer who i have helped a few times over the years... he has an alfa spider lusso 2000 plate and wants a new alarm as his factory fob has broken and alfa cant talk to the system to reprogram his spare. is there a way of disabling the system so it wont interfear with a new aftermarket alarm? thanks karlD6-In Car Solutions

Hi Karl, Not sure if those were ever imported to the States. The only forum member I am aware of that can help is on a temporary hiatus ( hopefully ). Got some input from him to assist you. "Look in the lower, left centre, console area, at the base well under the radio is the factory alarm by Meta. Unplug it and work out the leads, door, hood (bonnet), trunk (boot), etc., all NEG trigger plus lock and unlock (light blue and white?), again NEG trigger and indicators left and right (POS) plus 12V+ constant, 12V+ ign and ground. There are also 4 wires from there to the factory siren, thus if installing a Concept 650 Mk ll, just use the existing wiring. Other two wires are for the LED, also no immobilisation, really really simple." Cheers, KregSoldering is fun!

thats great info. hopefully it will be the same thanks allotD6-In Car Solutions
