not difficult to fit if you have a little confidence in auto electrics and if you have an old one still fitted easier to copy the wiring.

dont attempt fittin unless you really know what your doing. if you mess up the immobisler, remote start, etc etc you may not have that runs.

Personally, being a en electrician, i'd leave to the pros. if they mess it up, they HAVE to fix it, end of. also then you'll have warrenty on the fitting for at least a year maybe two :)

Cliffords are good but have there faults. I've had a couple of them on my veedubs, one went wrong with the battery backup in the siren. Cliiford would not except liability as they only give you a warranty on the control unit not an assessorary as the siren as they put it. Read the report I put up about the warning on cliford alarms.
