Default Refitting a cobra alarm in my fiesta

Lads, need to reconnect my cobra alarm I took out a few years ago when I lost both fobs.

Are there any complications in doing this?

It looks like he has cut 3 cables. 2 that are connected to the big pin thing that connects to pic 2 below. Get them soldered? Then he also has cut the cable that connects to Y in pic 1. Didn't see where this was.. Get it soldered too?

I take it TX and RX are pic 4 below?

PS - found 1 of the fobs. Think it works because the wee red light is working.

cobra alarms have the module built in for central locking so most cut wires on installation or are bridged at this point when hooking up, different cars have different wiring so its hard for anyone to 2nd guess exact wiring for your vehicle

Y in pic one is the antenna and is normally around 8inch long and does not connect to anything

pic 4 is the ultra sonic sensors that simply plug into rx/tx
