Always wondered which level it is. Cheers!

 

[Aimez]

good to know that for the old insurance!

 

[John-Cupra_TDI]

yeah it is. A found it on thatchams site when I was trytin to find out the rating of the cupra, as my insurance would only insure me if the car had cat 1 status.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

yeah thats interesting...

so we would say its a Standard Manafacture Fit Cat 1 alarm.... basically?

or would be say its a "thatcham cat 1 alarm"

 

[Funkyfin2000]

is it not cat 2?

surely this is the data here?

It is under the cat 1 heading Cat 1 is more secure that cat 2

how much does it help on the insurance??

 

[Aimez]

yeah thats interesting...

so we would say its a Standard Manafacture Fit Cat 1 alarm.... basically?

or would be say its a "thatcham cat 1 alarm"

which one anyone know?

 

[RichieRich]

either one would work fine still gives them the info they need....

Thatcham Cat 1 = ALARM + Passive arming imobiliser

Thatcham Cat 2 = Passive arming imobiliser

The imobiliser part of both is the same - Cat 1 just adds an alarm functions.

The seats generally come with Alarm ( key button operated ) and a passive immobiliser ( coded chip in key operated ) so it should be Cat1

 

[RichieRich]

not all seat's have alarms aswell... you might want to check to see if yours has before giving the wrong info to the insurance company.. mine normally goes off if i leave the window open... not that i do it much lol

Its a "standard fit Cat 1", if you just say "cat 1" they'll want proof of fitting.

Cat 1 alarms can save up to 10% on car insurance

 

[John-Cupra_TDI]

Yeah thats right, when I got my insurance documents after I changed company I had to sign a form to say that the alarm was factory fitted, or if it was an aftermarket fit, then they wanted a copy of the installation certificate.
