I have just taken insurance out on my car and they require a Thatcham CAT 2-1 alarm fitted.
I fitted myself, but will get a certificate at an authorised place, but I'm a bit confused......
Cat 1 is a full imobiliser and alarm
Cat 2-1 is an alarm, that will give a car with a CAT 2 imobilsior, CAT 1 status.
My question is, MUST a CAT 2-1 alarm be used in conjunction with a CAT 2 imobiliser, or can is it independant, and you just retain the 2-1 status? Rather than CAT 1 status?
I have no factory imobilisor, but want to avoid fitting a whole new CAT 1 alarm.
Cheers for any input
