simonpelly Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Hi Folks, Hopefully you can help. In the process of sorting out the dashboard on my 1997 Defender 110 - Clearly been played around with before - bundles of screws missing etc... on the dash - fixing this up. Anyway, wondering how the alarm remote antenna should be fitted. Images attached. It almost looks as if the internal keying on the antenna should fit onto something? Possibly the ignition barrel? Thanks in advance, Simon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Often cars have a inductive pick up ring around the ignition switch which reads a chip in they key before allowing you to start it up... It does look like one of these to me, and as you say looks made to fit. Does yours start OK without this in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpelly Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 This needs to be in place for the ignition to start. Believe the alarm key fob needs to be close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Originally it would have been placed around the barrel as you suggest so it's always in close enough proximity to the key fob. If fitting the X-eng barrel protector thingy, you can re-locate it to a position under the barrel as that's typically where the fob is anyway.
