what alarms is everyone using?

how much was it to have fitted

 

TOAD!

Pisses all over a Clifford!

 

toad, in all my cars and relatives cars, not hard to fit either

 

toad,the best and no troubles,either,

ive used ,spyball, sigma,sparkrite,laser, to name a few,yet the toad system i have now is the best,

look on ebay,toad alarms fitted at your place for under 250.

 

As above or Laserline , never had any problems with either. Its down to how well the units installed as with any alarm.

I can only give you a price on a laserline 291 which is a cat 1 (alarm/immobiliser), £275inc VAT fitted. All doors, tailgate and bonnet protected, ultrasonics, flashing indicators, immobiliser (2 circuits) and remote central locking. Thats if your drivers door already has a central locking solenoid otherwise your looking at another £5-10 part + labour for fitting.

 

Beg to differ there, cliffords always go wrong, and my mate paid £600 for a top of the range clifford, with dual prox microwave and allsorts, goes off at all hours of the day!

My toad has boggo ultrasonics in a CABRIOLET and has never once false alarmed

 

i had a clifford and it was shit went off all hours of the day and night, ive now had two toad alarms and both have been the would recomend them to anyone.

 

Toad Ive had a few cliffords and friends have had them and 90% of them have fucked up and it aint down to they way they was installed as they've ALL been put in by pro's/shops so i cant see everyone of them getting it wrong when installing a clifford alarm Ive had toad in the last few cars ive had and NEVER had any problems with them

 

so Cliffords out the question

 

im using a vecta alarm and imob does the job

 

You would have to be different and ruin the trend wouldnt ya

dee00, buy a clifford if you want.

Helps if you dont mind being woken up all hours of the night and dont mind it breaking on you though

 

Indeed

 

I don't think so. I have always had a Clifford on the RS. It came with a Concept 300, then when it was given a new lease of life I had the top of the range Clifford alarm fitted with lots of add ons and it has never given me a problem in 2 years.

People think Cliffords are shit but if they play up it most likely that the install is shit rather than the product. I will always have a Clifford on my cars purley because of the amount of add ons you can have.

 

Toad. Always been good to me

 

I had a Clifford concept 500 I think it was on my RS2k with the microwave and dual proximity sensors etc, and had no problems with it, just the odd false alarm due to cats etc in the proximity.

It actually saved the car once in Birmingham, was staying at the missus sisters house and some pikeys tried to get in thru the back window, they got the corner of the seal out and then it chirped twice and they legged it.

Saying that Chris off here who has it now has had a few probs with it going off all the time outside his house. Also I had to replace the brain on my mates concept 500 cos it died and left his car not working, and the siren never worked anyway.

I have a Toad AI606 on my RST and can't fault it, not given me a false alarm yet! Only thing I'd like to know is how to wire it in to the leccy windows, for some reason it wasn't wired up when fitted!

that got me a quote of an extra 45 notes,for total closure,its also an add on extra to the toad you named,there a re similar add ons as the clifford too.at a price for each fitted. even retro-fitting is possible.

 

it can do but has anyone wired theirs to do this?

 

Ive always had cliffords on my cars never had a problem what so ever

 

ive got clifford to ive never had they problems mines got the 650 concept in it with the proximity sensor helps keep twats away when the car starts bleeping

 

I've got a sigma and think its a great system, i have had toad before and i'd have one over clifford for reliability
I agree with above though you need to make sure the installer does a good job, as any alarm will be rubbish if not fitted correctly

 

i use BO!! OR HEY YOU ((VERY LOAD))LOL

 

[quote="SafeChav"]You would have to be different and ruin the trend wouldnt ya

yeah someone has too

 

mentalasanything, you need a power window interface.

 

Update, I remembered seeing something last time I took the doorcard off, so I had another look last night. I have a power window interface!!!! If I remember it's a "Ranger 282" or sumthin. The leccy window wires are all soldered in to the loom behind the original switch but inside the car all I have is a white and a red wire, which have been cut off. I'm tempted to just put the red to live (fused of course) and try earthing the white (correct me if I'm wrong as that's what the accessory wire does) and see if the windows go up!

Sorry to hijack the thread tho

 

Find a manual or info on the unit before you try it, but it probably will work.

You'll need to wire it into the alarms total closure wire though.

 

Tried to find a manual and failed. I'll just have to try it!
