Thatcham cat1 alarms - Avital Maxx3


Avital Maxx3

Avital's range-topping Maxx3 alarm system is Thatcham Category 1 approved which is the world's most rigorous testing standard for any security device. A fully featured multi channel alarm and immobiliser the Avital Maxx3 covers all points of entry to your vehicle and gives internal passenger compartment protection as well. With a host of output options the Avital Maxx3 is the ideal combination of European style security with USA style convenience options.

Thatcham category 1 status

Thatcham category1 combines alarm and immobiliser to form a complete vechicle security system so the Thatcham organisation have specifed two products;

Cat 2 to 1 alarm upgrade or Cat 1 alarm can be fitted to a vehicle with a factory fitted cat 2 immobiliser, the upgrade is cheaper but the full alarm provides extra security and more features. Privately imported vehicles that are non UK spec or older vehicles that do not have a cat 2 immobiliser must be fitted with a full category 1 alarm and immobiliser.

If you have key operated or remote controlled central locking installed the aftermarket Thatcham alarm key fob will operate the locks as well as the alarm to give full remote central locking. Installing a Thatcham alarm to operate from the existing remotes is possible but will work out more expensive and you lose out on having an extra set of key fob remotes.

For vehicles that have electric window closure fitted the new Thatcham alarm remote control will operate them as before and if you are without window closure it is possible install a window closure module for around £50 to close windows when the doors are locked.
