It looks like a Future Shop install I saw today. Guy comes in saying his buddy at FS did a great job, but forgot to install a TR7. I took it apart and it looked like that! At least that installer used fuses. Posted via RS Mobile | |

There can't be anything worse then that.. this thing was actually working though. So maybe it could be worse. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Fortunately in the end the owner asked me to pull the alarm module since it falsed to much for his liking. Posted via RS Mobile | |

All I know is that it came from a local dealer that imported it from the US. The alarm came with it either from the US or here... It was an Audiovox alarm.

Yes in the top picture it's easily and completely visible through the front drivers window. The vehicle is a mail truck, it's already pretty bare with no panels on the bottom of the dash.... and these guys wanted to be paid.
