Hi there, hope some one can help me.
I have purchased a canbus 2-1 upgrade alarm that is to be installed tomorrow by an installer. He has told me that on the canbus on the van it needs to be switched to allow the alarm to work on the van using the original key. He told me to take the van to a fiat dealer, they have told me that they know nothing and told me to call two other firms that they work with. One said that they have never heard this and the other said that there is things on the canbus system that can be switched like for remote start and satnav but nothing for alarms, and any alarm should work. I told the installer this and he is sure it won't work, but he will install it and leave me the spec sheet to take to fiat so they can carry out the work. I am just wondering if this is true or not? If so can I get an auto electrician to do the work as fiat don't seem to know about this. The guy says they need to plug a machine onto the van canbus system to carry out the work, would and auto electrician be able to do this? If not and it is specific fiat do it who can I turn to as I have now called fiat and two other companies regarding this matter.
Thanks for your help in advance.
