Toad alarm fitment

   Well tbh I suspected the monkeys that fitted it. Not only did they
reuse old switches, they reused some of the old wiring too. Lazy gits.

Finally told them to do the job properly or they could remove the alarm
& refund my money & I'd complain to the powers-that-be to have
their fitting licence revoked.

	I had toads on two of my previous cars and they were perfect, dont think they ever went off even on windy nights, sounds like it might have been down to dodgy fitting, I do remember every connection had to be soldered into loom they were very fussy about voltages.

	Best place to mount it is in the bin. Got the same model on my Six & I wouldn't have another. Keeps telling me I have the boot or bonnet open when I try to set it. It went through a period of false alarms. Had it back to the fitters 3 times. Tried telling me the wind was getting under the leading edge & lifting the bonnet! Have you felt the weight of a Six's bonnet? It could be down to crap fitting but the previous (non cat 1) Clifford alarm was fine. Since I don't use the car every day now it's not such an issue but if I was buying again I'd go for something else. Siren is on o/s front wheelarch, dunno about the rest of the gubbins. Note that if it's for cat 1 insurance you need it fitted by a recognised & qualified fitter.

	Planning on getting my Toad alarm fitted this weekend. Has anyone got a Toad in their BMW (Ha Ha)? Well my one is a toad Ai606. Where is the best place to mount the various pieces. The old one was fitted above the battery, and that was ****. Let me know what experience people have had with this. Its not hard to find a place for the various pieces, but if anyone had fitted one of these or similar, please let me know where they put the bits. I was thinking of mounting everything in the car, except for the siren of course which has to go under the bonnet. But where there is space, I dont know? Ben Edited by phb10186
