Question

I was planning on fitting one, but don't actually know if my alarm system (standard) will kick in once the timer switches off/.

Anyone know?

No it won't. The alarm won't set with the engine running. You'll have to do what I did and learn to live with it, I'm afraid.

Question

But will it arm automatically when the engine turns off?

I think there's a way to do this, but it involves electronics know-how as you have to delay the setting of the alarm by use of timed relays or something....

Ali,

You're right but I would always manually lock the doors. The only place I really leave the car is at work (safest place in the world ) or on my drive. I never really leave it out of sight apart from that.

Most TT's have a handbrake cut too...
