Default Clifford Blackjaxx system--Your thoughts

The alarm i have on the Series 1 allows me to have Blackjaxx if i want it...It is all ready built in, i just have to activate it

Who has it and what do you think to it???

You can change everything to do with the alarm, Ive got a laptop if u wanna meet up at some point.

It plugs directly in the brain, and u can turn blackjax on from there

Here, download and install this, HERE and go into offline mode and you will see the software.

Not sure if you can change proximities, but you can do that with the 5 button key fob.

Won't be behind the dash Mark - centre console is my bet mate. Easy to 'play' with and adjust are Cliffords - everything chirps when a setting is altered or as you go up and down the sensitivity range.

Not totally secure, but a useful deterant.

Just depend if it does your head in having to type a code in EVERY time you drive the car or not?

Rich

TOTALLY agree, i am a TOAD man through and through...But this was on the Series 1 when i got it...They are Ł700 fitted usually and it doesnt even give you total closure

If someone wants to put me a toad on and have this top spec clifford they are more than welcome

Make sure you also disable remote Valet too, otherwise Blackax is pointless.........

Other than that its the NUTS IMO

so he ignores the 5 LOUD pips it gives him 30 secs before it cuts out?

TIFF, have a look in the online guides http://www.clifford.com/guides my Concept 600 doesnt tell you how to adjust the sensors either but it tells you in the web guide how to do it!

Had blackjaxx on the Cos over 4 years but never used it once!!
