hi there

what is you're wanting to do? is it just to lock/unlock the doors?

the easiest place for a feed is down in the passenger kick panel (yellow/blue wire).

tbh, i'm not keen on adding anything 'extra' to the scorpio's alarm/immobiliser system. it's very easy to upset the car, you know! ;) ;D

hth

Dont forget that any alarm not fitted by a thatcham approved fitter carries no insurance status - any protection over the ford safeguard will be for your own peace of mind.

Bear in mind that Safeguard already carries a Cat II thatcham approval level.... :)

I agree with Andrew. Fitting extra alarms to these cars seems to cause nothing but problems. I suggest you think this through seriously before proceeding. ;)
