Recommend a CAT 1 system ?

Hi Guys,

Looking for some guidence/experience with choosing a CAT 1 Alarm and fitters in the Staffs area.

I have had a look around and see that the prominant players are Clifford, Toad and Cobra - Clifford seem the most sophisticated.

The choice of fitters seems a minefield !!!!

I have fitted aftermarket central locking and electric windows (In pro complete replacements) so would ideally like these to be operated by the alarm.

I have budgeted about 400 fitted.

 

clifford concept 300 i'd say

 

A Rottweiller in the back seat did it for me ... sorry Ive had Toad fitted my last 2 motors ...no problems here...

 

My impression is Clifford for gadgets and Toad for reliability.

I have a Toad A606 and have had no problems with it.

As for fitters, can't really help you.

 

i would have to agree. whatever you do do not try to cut corners like i did . i thought i was a smart ass buying my clifford g5 off ebay and saved 700 quid but cant get anybody to fit it as it needs a computer to set it up. lesson learnt i think

 

Where abouts are you??? if you can't get any one to fit it give me a shout and i can do it for you. I have all the cables and software needed to set the alarm up.

 

are all G5 systems like that...was gonna buy an arrow 5 for the girlie's car.

 

same here.

 

Get a Toad Ai606, I've got one and its very reliable, will operate your doors and has 2 more buttons to assign to different tasks. Mine cost me 300 fitted, and for an extra 50 I could have had the total closure option, but I didn't have enough money at the time. I got mine from here, and they seemed to do a good job, haven't had any problems so far!

 

im in cheshire northwich

 

CLIFFORD.

 

An alarm is only as good as the person who instals it, IMHO.

I`ve got a metasystem m99/36t2 no problems with it doe`s what it`s ment to do very reliable.

 

I've got an AudioWatch full closure Cat 1 with Immobiliser, very good and reliable!! Already on the car when I bought it though so dont know about price!!

 

paul yours will more than likely be a 1**rli (hidden for obviuos reasons) and they are made in south africa about 200 quid fitted. very good systems

 

Fitted an Autowatch 160rli cat1 to my brothers MK4 yesterday. Seems alright, rolls the windows up etc.

I switched of the arm/disarm bleeps tho. Sounded a bit gay to me.

Can't complain for 60 tho and my expert fitting skills
