Unhappy URGENT!! Alarm help PLEASE!!

Hi,

Ive an Alarm engineer installing a Toad alarm on my car as I type.
He's installed the Alarm but he's having dificulty finding a location for the tiny siren.

He's got space in the Engine bay but can't find a way through to wire it up SO he's put it in the front near the Spare wheel only he's not happy that it's loud enough there, hes now looking for somewhere behind the grill near the front.

HELP!! Any ideas??? can anyone recomend a location?

Thx

I haven't seen many installs, but those I have seen are in the engine compartment.

What about inside a front wheel arch, where the horns are?

The factory alarm siren is in the front rh wheel arche - easily accessed by removing the plastic arch liner.

The sirene is installed on the following spot:

On the left side in the engine bay, between the distributor [ignitinon] and the lock panel [the part where the center reflector is placed]

No problems with heat, works fine.

Interesting - mine is definately in the front arch with the horns. Maybe it depends on model year or market.

Cheers

Front right wheel arch - where the horns are - this is where my TOAD siren is too. Just remove the wheel and about 8 or so screws & the plastic wheel arch liner will come out.
