Default Cat 1 Alarm, what type is good?

Hi all just wondered if anyone has heard of META car alarms and if they are any good I need a new cat 1 alarm for my car and the company in my area sell the META system for about £370.

Any advice/info would be nice

Cheers

Steve

ive got a toad on my escos and a meta sysytem on my new work van both seem to be upto the job. the meta one on my van actually seems to be better than the one on the escos as far as range etc goes. dont know about extras you can add onto the sytsem though. the meta alarm as a very good high visibility led that flashes on the windscreen aswell.

I've got the alarm down from that one - Viper 460XV Thatcham Approved Cat 1 Car Alarm on my Fiesta. Can't fault it at all and it was an excellent price too..... £225 incl. fitting from MotorGuard in Birmingham. Viper alarms are made by Clifford.
