Default Alarm box position

I must change my alarm box and before dismounting almost half of the car i ask if someone could help me to find where it is and if it's an easy change (i mean no problem if i change box and keys) ? This is the thing:

Thx and ciao

How much that cost you then??

It is a complete bitch to get to and in theory is a dashboard out job..

On a RHD car, the control unit is up behin the dashboard, you can get to it by removing the centre vents side air vent and swearing alot whilst laying on your back... you should be able to get to the multiplug without removing the dash, but will be difficult to mount new unit this way..

Thank Damo for the infos.
It cost me only 10£ and 8£ for expedition.
But how can i exactly reach the box without removing the dash or what is the minimum effort to at least reach it for unplug the original and connect the new almost to try it?
Thanks again.

Planning to remove mine this week but does it have to be removed or can it just be disabled?
