The alarm on my williams is a cobra one,

Is this a standard alarm from production?

Are they any good? or should i update it?

I have only used the button at the end of the fob, which seems to lock and unlock the doors, with a beep but no indicators flash, is this right?

There is also a switch under the dash which once moved it seems to start and stop the led on my dash, even when driving it stays on, is this an aftermarket thing or do all williams have one? Also if this switch is turned on, it takes 2 presses of the alarm fob to lock the doors instead of one, sorry about all the questions but i would like to know how to operate the alarm properly,

Has anybody got a guide on how to use these alarms

cheers

The switch is to cancell the 15 second self arming of the imobaliser.

yes if it works still. Its £400 to replace it with a similar cobra model.

alot have failed due to the design over the years. Most have been changed now - mine included after problems with the siren and alarm ecu.
