Never heard of the product, seems a bit to good to be true really. Plus the key blades don't look right to me, but perhaps you can choose a different type??

The other thing is its coming from aussie, so its gonna take 10 days and if it doesn't turn up you would be a bit buggered.

Thats my negative view tho.

Could spend Ԛ£40 and get a cool alarm tho.

I would
1. ask the two other buyers if it's any good.
2. pay the extra Ԛ£3.50 for DHL 1-2 days

I have this exact alarm, from these guys. But with different keys, flip out style audi type thingies.

The alarm is great, the wiring diagram is shite, but I have decoded the diagram and got it working in my E30 a treat.

A few things to think about:

There is no siren!

It's exactly the same alarm, but with a key choice

Check this!

The only problem I had was it took a while to get the alarm, I paid the extra DHL but it took them about 8 days to post it.

On the upside, they answer emails really quickly and are helpful, even when your stressed at them.

There are a few outputs etc for imooblisiers etc and it seems reasonable quality, well, good quality for the money.

The only bad thing about the alarm itself is the key blanks aren't the same profile as E30's, but you could dremel a standard E30 key down to fit.

Also, the Ԛ£19.90 one won't make you liable for import duty as it's under the threshold for it.

Hope that helps
