im after an alarm for my mk1 but im not sure which to go for, i have heard really good things about the toad AI606. i would get this kit: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8062779429&fromMakeTrack=true but get the microwave sensor too, what are my other options? anyone got this alarm? any one recommend another one? thanks alot, tim
You have a few other options. You can either go for the Clifford Concept 650 that comes standard with a prox sensor (warnaway) so it gives you internal & external protection. The system also comes with Blackjax (anti-hijack). Or you can go for the Viper (clifford's older brother) 480XV that comes with a LCD 2way pager system. System will page you if the alarm is triggered and also has loads of extra channels to add extras. Both these systems are cat 1 and come with life time warranty. Both systems are very popular with all our customers. Visit our website for latest offers. www.motorguarduk.co.uk
I had motorguard fit my Viper 480XV and can without reservation say it was the best value, best aftermarket accessory i have bought for the car. Without doubt.
Oh, and reference the above eBay auction, its not Cat1 really if you dont have it fitted by an approved supplier and can then supply your insurer with said certificate.
they supply the completed cert with the sale as far as im aware, says on the ad so i have emaild them to ask, tim
dodgy but to be honest someone with a bit of knowledge could fit it better than a lot of approved installers that i've seen! I'd keep well away from cliffords from my experience!
Well you cant go wrong with Toad lifetime warranty alarm and microwave sensor prices are available at www.mobilecaralarms.com Hope this helps
Ive been looking at that one too tim. I cant find one person round here that will fit central locking and that alarm for me
Go for the toad. Steer away from Clifford or risk random beeps, random unlockings, random sirening! I had the 650 fitted in my Punto and although the proximity sensor was ace I found the alarm to be bollox. It unlocked itself and did all sorts of random stuff, as does my mates on his raddo G60. I would go Toad.
I agree totaly. Don't buy clifford i got roped into buying it cos thats the only alarm the shop fitted when i took my mk2 to get done[:^(] . I have had it for 3 years and it has broken down at least 10-15 times and even now the c/l doen't lock once strarted. Complete crap. But if u wanna buy a clifford alarm then u can buy mine Just go for TOADAI606 The best
have you also fitted the protective cover plate behind the grill to stop the "pop the badge pop the bonnet" weakness of the mk1?
And just to emphasise the point on Cliffords me and my mate went out in his corrado G60 last night and it wouldnt arm. Good job his car is delocked really! TOAD!!!
Just take your grill of tim and close the bonnet, you can easily open it from the outside. Basically weld in a plate to stop people doing this
Iv'e got some pics but i'm having trouble with photobucket at the moment as it's saying this: Photobucket Site Maintenance Images and videos will continue to serve during this short maintenance.
