Alfa alarm keyfobs

[phil1979]

How come my old 145 (1998) has a nice alarm blipper integrated in to the ignition key, whereas all the newer GTVs that i've been looking at have a seperate, cheap-looking blipper fob, with a standard key?

Either: a lot of alarms on UK GTVs were fitted on arrival in the country rather than in the factory.
Or: A previous owner has lost the master key and needed a new lockset, immobiliser and ECU.

If I remember correctly the Alfa GTV had a Meta Systems alarm fitted in the UK when they came off the boat.

This is also correct for the Sony cd headunits aswell.
