    My car has the usual key fob press the button to lock/unlock etc but Id like to add an alarm to it.
    Is there an alarm available that when fitted will arm/disarm by using the cars own key fob as opposed to one supplied with the alarm, Id rather not have another fob attached to my bunch of keys :)
    Any advice or links appreciated.
    Thanks

    The last time I paid for an alarm to be fitted to a car (1996 Fiat Bravo), the key fob supplied by the alarm fitter enabled/disabled the alarm at the same time as locking/unlocking the car via the central locking system so it's the opposite of what you're looking for but functionally identical in that one click will do the job each time.

    Yes there are. I had one installed on previous motor.
    Clifford and Viper both do 'canbus' alarms that utilise your original car key instead of having an additional/aftermarket fob.
