Hi all,
I'm thinking of fitting an aftermarket alarm, or at least one of those 12v alarm leds that flash.
Now I appreciate a 2007 c3 probably isn't the most sought after, but I know park opposite my house and just want to be sure.
Any tips advice please.
Thanks all.

The standard C3 factory alarm doesn't have a flashing LED. So by fitting one, it would look, and known to be a fake.

Hi C3RIS
I believe 2007 cars are fully CAN-Bus. For some things this makes life complicated, for others, like fitting alarms it can simplify.
No more tracing wires and connecting into switches, a CAN-Bus alarm uses the vehicles own data bus to get all the signals it needs.
Not sure on the cost but I'd say worth a look and if it does turn out to be not viable there's always the flashing LED!

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence and pretend you never tried
