Guest cips007 Posted March 7, 2006 Hi all,need advice,my immobiliser stopped working a while ago and i've lost my certificate too.Was gonna ring insurance to tell em but worried they may ask me to buy and get another fitted.Need advice on the Toad immobiliser for sale on the following link.It actually says "Insurance Approved Certificate ( for you to fill in and complete yourself)* When i asked the seller he replied "as long as it is fitted as per the fitting manual" Question is,is this sufficient or a waste of money etc http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,003 Posted March 7, 2006 As I understood it, the alarm has to be installed (or atleast subsequently approved) by an approved fitter for most insurers to accept it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) You can also fit it yourself and have the installation inspected by a qualified fitter (who will charge you a small fee). AFAIK the fitter has to put an official stamp on the certificate for it to be valid, but some ebay sellers send you pre-stamped certificates - which is a bit on the dodgy side as you could easily use the certificate to get cheaper insurance and leave the immobilizer in it's box, or even sell it.

Many Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cips007 Posted March 8, 2006 Can anyone help with differenciating the wires please Cheers Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tagy 1 Posted March 8, 2006 you can't just fill in the certificate yourself, you would have to get it checked by a toad dealer, who may charge alot depending what they feel like. I'd buy a manual if you dont have one already. I guess you could immobilise the starter wire cutting it by the barrel and joing on somewhere further up.

Guest cips007 Posted March 9, 2006 The immobiliser connects to ignition wire and starter wire,any ideas as to which colour these are Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnglishRob 0 Posted March 12, 2006 From what I can remember when removing a faulty immobiliser, it connected to the yellow & red wires coming off the ignition. I can't remember which is which though. Have you already bought the imobiliser? Just wondering if it would work out cheaper to buy one from an installer and have it professionally installed. At least that way you're covered. Without a certificate, the insurance company may not pay up in the event the car is stolen. Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
