It looks different, but the mount and plug are the same.
At any rate, now I have a good spare alarm module ( until the batteries die )
Your post made me interested. A year ago my alarm went off at random times by itself until finally it started chirping less and less and eventually died. I took that for a sign that batteries have died on the module. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but my car being a 2004 and having read up on some info on the forum, I would assume the batteries have long leaked all over the siren electronics and therefore the whole module is probably done.
I mean, maybe it only needs batteries but I feel like I might have to get a new alarm module. How hard was it to install? The price sounds phenomenal. How did you know it would fit ours when it even looked different? Is there any way to tell before ordering?
Thanks for your help and info.
