(G) Stilo Alarms

Now its been a while since i looked at alarms and is it my imagination or did Fiat do 2 Alarms for the Stilo? If so i want the better one, and is this the Meta M782 A system

Thanks muchly

Why whats up M8 are you having probs with robbers /scumbags/chaves

Nah nothing like that, but am in the process of making my car more desireable to the theiving scum of this world and just feel its stupid of me to spend lots of money on the car when its got no form of alarm

Aint it just sickening that just because you want to upgrade your car like active u have to include an alarm so that some lousey piece of filth mAy decide he/she wants it or parts of it AND DOESNT WANT to shell out theyre hard earned dole money just nick it BASTERDS

From what I remember matt, FIAT only did one alarm for the Stilo which was designed to interface with the CAN network. You can't (unfortunately) just add the Stilo's factory alarm as it's a node and you'll have issues getting it to interface with the Body Computer.

The accessory one goes under the scuttle plate and you need to install sensors on the top of the A-pillars, but it should be rather easy, and links to the CAN line properly to flash the lights and be armed and disarmed using the original key.

Try searching on Ebay (European Union) and usually there are some on there, such as this one:

i've fitted the alarm and it seemed to be fine with the "can" lines

Tell me though Active why the fiat alarm as we know fiat electrics are a little dodgy woudnt a toad or thatcham cat 1 be better

My main reason is i want an alarm that works with my existing key, and i think its stupid to have a key thats a key fob, but yet still have to carry another key fob to work the alarm. If anyone can point me of another more advanced alarm system that i can operate using my existing key id happily go there

Point taken but I was thinking of the after market alarms because thy will probably be a darn site better imo carrying the extra fob woudnt worry me

Yeah i can see where your coming from with aftermarket alarms being better, with more functions and so on, and if i had a spare key that it was just the key itself id be happy to put another fob on that, but i just cant clear my mind thats it pointless to be carrying about my key that can open the car, aswell as another fob that does the same thing...........maybe im alone in this thinking (more than likely i probably am) i just like to have the existing key because of it being the simple square with the retractable key, i dont even hang any other keys or key rings of my car key as i think it looks funny...........ok yeah it probably is because im weird!

you may want to check this but last time i asked about an alarm with my local ice dealer they said they could get other alarms to work off the standard fob! i asked because i wouldnt want two fobs either, would annoy the hell out of me as i dont have any other keys on my fob, i use it on its own if that makes sense!

NO mate your not weird just peticular and judgingfrom other threads you keep your stilo spotless and that is a credit to you
