I let them install mine on the old loom. Then ripped it out when I put the replacement loom in.

You don't have a Pectel CAR loom do you, just an engine loom?

In which case, the alarm wont interfere with your Pectel engine loom at all..........

Spiky - I'd expect the ECU wiring harness to be like that if you have a Pectel loom, as that's the er.......... Pectel loom!

I just wouldn't know what the rest of the car wiring is like......... I have my Cat 1 alarm still in the car....

Because I thought Pectel made looms for the ECU, which I noted you have.

I wasn't aware that Pectel made looms for the rest of the car (bearing in mind the ECU loom is separate).

So to clear it up, yes you have a Pectel loom connected to your ECU.

Exactly which part of a cat 1 alarm connects to your ECU loom then?

Okay - so YOU are assuming that the rest of the car loom (excluding the engine loom - remember they are spearate) is made by Pectel?

What is special about your loom, apart from the fact that it has overbraid on it? 90% of my car loom is covered in that stuff, but that doesn't mean it's special.........

Right, okay......................

............. but nearly all the loom will be exactly the same (except stripped for weight where you don't have certain items)................. so any competent alarm fitter should be bale to install it properly.

In fact, if anything, the job should be easier because of the lack of wiring in the car like ABS/ leccy windows..(I presume that's gone.......) etc etc.......
