Default Toad Alarms - any good???

As title, are Toad alarms any good, anyone had any problems with them etc?

I am thinking of buying the Toad Ai606, anyone got this alarm?

Both equally reliable if installed correctly imo.

I've never had a problem with any of my cars with clifford alarms.

My old companies vans all had Toad alarms, they were all good as gold with the exception of one van which was alway playing up.
I think that alarm was fitted on friday afternoon

ive got one, no probs, but as above its all to do with thinstall, the only probs i did have with my clifford before this was to do with install problems, rushing, cutting corners etc.

Absolutely fantastic. i had a Ai606 on my old cavalier turbo.
It was faultless and had features like:
electric window control, up and down etc from the fob
tilt sensor
shock sensor
boot pop
3 sirens etc

highly recommended.

excellent alarm i've had the ai606 on all the cars i've had so far and never had a single problem, you can have most of the add-ins as the clifford i.e remote start, total closure etc but without the hassle of it screwing up every so often.

I'm not sure what model mine is, think it's been on there a fair few years tho! I wan't to upgrade mine, i'm hearing nothing but bad storys about cliffords though, will probably look into an upgraded toad.

What is the Toad Cat 1 alarm model? and price?
