LF-Q025A car alarm

I've just been given the dubious honour of fitting a LF-Q025A alarm to our Bongo.
I've fitted a few alarms in the past but this seems to have an excessive amount of wires but, allegedly, will do everything except make a brew!
Anyone fitted one of these beauties before? If so, is there anything I should be aware of/worried about?
Btw the instructions are really poor

Hi Bainy,
You may get some info if you look/ask on this forum. I have a Granvia which came with a CAT1 alarm already installed but with no instructions or PIN number, within a couple of hours of asking the question, I got everything I needed.....very helpful people......just like BF
Good luck

Thanks for the info, I'm certain that I'll have to use it.
I've already found out that I have to retrofit remote central locking

but I'm sure I'll be ok with that.
Are all Bongos a pain? This one seems to be - even fitting the stereo took me ages, I felt so ashamed

Fitting stereo is a 5 minute job, if you have the conversion loom like this

Bainy, if a stereo causes you problems I realy think a cat 1 alarm should be left to others, no offence intended .

I'll be ok, no offence taken
I've been on the motor industry a while now and the problem with the radio is that you get used to doing them a specific way. In this case it just threw me slightly and took me a while longer
The alarm should be within my abilities
