It sits beside the battery - unfortunately I forgot to take pics (a cardinal sin I know) but will try to take some next weekend.

You can download the instructions form their website:

It fits between the battery and the 2 positive leads and I used the little straight link to space it away from the terminal.

On reflection I'll probably rewire it with a new short battery lead so it can be strapped to the side of the battery.

I found that it needs the engine on wire connecting and I've run this to an existing relay socket in the fusebox. Again, I'll probably rewire this or add the optional vibration sensor instead.

The remote control simply connects/disconnects the battery so I can leave it in a garage without power for extended periods.

When reconnecting the immobiliser light flashes fast for about 10-15 seconds then reverts to the normal slow flash. Ignition on, wave the immobiliser over the key and it fires up as normal.



Here are some camera

I added a 6" battery strap so I could cable tie the unit to the battery.

The small white wire is the antenna for the remote and the coiled black wire goes to a live when ignition on connector in the fusebox. This prevents the unit disconnecting when the engine is running.
