Default Choice of car alarm

Needing an alarm for the series 2 so just thought i would ask you lot for your choice or what you have and how they perform, my car is de-locked so i dont know if you have to take that into consideration?

Any feedback would be great !

TOAD Ai606 to keep your car safe, Clifford if you want to show off with pointless toys

Have a clifford concept 600 on the saff, been absolutely great, as oranoco sais, they do have a few "look at me" features, but they are a very good system, i have all the crap turned off on mine, its just a good alarm and immob now.

Alot of people say cliffords are crap, but its very much the way they are installed! mines not had one false alarm since its been on (4 years now)

Toad ai606 or C5T2, ai600 was better but not made now sadly, I have yet to have a genuine false alarm from them fitted to my car gf's car and dads 4 in total over 10 years each.

You need to consider whether you NEED the proximity sensor, when certain people(kids mostly) learn of it they set it off all the time, negating it's effect as neighbours think sodding things going off again and take no notice, I prefer the surprise element, a siren inside the car is ace, stops you thinking straight, they soon get out again, you can also make a internal SMOKE GRENADE for well under £10, will choke the shits out!!
