great alarm with 3 cuts instead of the usual 2. Pager is pretty neat and although it's range isn't as good as the US models(up to 1 mile) it's still better than most of the other pagers on the market.
I have the 500xv on one of my own cars. Same alarm but with the Colour animated pager.

the 500Xv is brilliant. Have it on my car with loads of extras such as remote start, tilt, glass break etc. The remote is well cool

it would be nice if the 500 remote also installed the extra solenoids etc for remote start !
i find it cheap to buy my parts for the 480 from the US and install them,over ere,its crazy, an 11 pound part over there is 60 quid here !!!

varies,some fit a 480xv for £350,some £299 some a bit more,but be careful as if u dont have a solenoid for the remote central lockin,thats £3o on top etc
cheaper now than they were 12 mthsago,when minewasfitted,it was new andeven the installers were intregued as to how it worked etc,i had to tell them tocut the black siren wire to make the chirps louder !!!!!

you can get thatcham approved installer to fit hence maintaining warranty.

no such thing as a thatcham approved installer.....
Warranty can only be included if the alarm is installed by a Directed Approved Installer.

ok, also realised that these things can take 3-4 hours to install, which at say £40 an hour makes no sense to buy seperately.

i paid 380 to get mine fully installed,that was including the extra centrallocking solenoid that was needed.
that was nearly 2 yrs ago when the alarm was fairly new to the market.
