Hi,
I've just recently bought a 99 T S2000 (Jap import), how can I find out whether it has an alarm?

yes my black minibos locks & unlocks the car. I suspect however that I don't have an alarm for the simple reason that I dont see an alarm box anywhere. The only thing that is confusing me is that when I lock the car a small small red light flashes near the steering wheel to the right.

No boot release with my 99 JDM.
Have you got the sensors on the dashboard? Is there a red flashing LED? If you unlock it then leave it for a minute does it immobilise and fail to start?

I think the flashing red LED on mine is for the immobiliser, not the alarm as it flashes when the car isn't alarmed.
I *think* (this might be wrong) that the SVA requires an immobiliser? So maybe that's all you have. But then importers generally offer at least an option of a Cat 1 alarm which most people would take.

Er, look for an alarm box in the engine bay. Or sit in it and close the car up and wave your arms around a bit

I am not sure what alarm I have (my S is from a UK dealer), but the immobilizer works and so does the alarm - execept for the sit inside and wave your hand bit. I suspect I don't have the ultrasonics - anyway to confirm this other than a failed test it?

Quickest way to tell by far is to open the bonnet and look to the LHS (brake booster side). If you see a black cube (the siren), you've got an alarm, if you haven't... then you haven't got an alarm!
I suspect you haven't.
With a picture... the lower red circle is where my alarm WAS mounted - the HKS needed the space! The upper red circle is where it nows sits....
