Hi,
any info or photo of where the alarm activation button is situated under the bonnet, on cars with OE Meta alarm?
Thank you.

My coupe has the Scorpion alarm, and the bonnet switch is simple up/down system. Only 1 cable to the switch, when the bonnet is opened the switch makes a connection with the chassis (so its a ground wire) and the alarm would go off.

The switch that Nobby is describing is, from memory, to the right of the radiator attached to the slam panel.

Thank you guys, was just looking for where to put it, after the recent alarm talks came to my mind I have the cable abandoned there with no button connected.
Cheers.

IIRC there is a round plastic 'plug' inside the inner bonnet edge which makes contact with the switch. That'll give you the exact location for the OE Meta.
