Hello mate

I have a Toad AI606 on my MK3 Turbo cabriolet, fairly easy to fit and very good IMO, was left for a good 6 weeks and still started. They only come with ultrasonics though but u can buy all the upgraded sensors for them.

I also have just put a HKS Turbo Timer in, and am currently making a remote start for it.......

Never been a Clifford fan , they're a bit of a Marmite alarm.

Toad Ai606 is where my money would and will be going
