Removing the alarm from a DB7
Discussion
Was wondering if it was integral to the car or a sort of bolt on device. I hate car alarms on older cars as they usually play up and cause hassle.
Most of my older cars have had them removed by me and made life easier:
No battey drain.
No hassle removing battery.
No annoying alarms.
I'm in the market for an early i6 and was thinking long term ease of life.
Not looking for a step by step (that'd be stupid info to give out on the web) but more of a "yes it is easy vs no it's more hassle than it's worth" kind of answer.
Thanks.

IMHO, you'd be best having an auto-electrician look over your intended purchase and ironing out any gremlins. Most of my older cars have had them removed by me and made life easier:

I love car alarms, they tend to stop, or at least deter, your Pride & Joy getting nicked.
Insurance usually works out cheaper as well.
Keep a battery conditioner connected when you're not using the car and you needn't worry about a flat battery either.
Best of luck
The Gaydon alarms are fine and unobtrusive for the most part, but the DB7 alarms are just plain useless. They go off for no reason, leave you unable to connect a battery w/o going off, are ear splitting in a confined are so that you can't stay there and try to stop the alarm, etc. They're like the XJS alarms, except worse.
When I had my DB7 Vantage, I didn't disable the alarm, but did trash the sounder/siren. At least I could then be near the car to disable the alarm system if I couldn't get in the car and/or start it, w/o losing my hearing.
