Car Alarm

I can only advise here mate, but on personal experiences clifford are too much of a gimmick than a decent reliable alarm. I had one on a previous car and it had a lot of small problems a few which we couldnt solve (it was wired in by a proffesional fitter too)
I doubt they have changed that much since then (2 years ago!) and also many reputable fitters choose not to deal with them and go with other cheaper brands which do the same if not better job!
Upto you at the end of the day though

Nothing wrong with cliffords when installed correctly, plenty of features too. Never had one come back out of all we installed when I worked at a car audio place
totally agree ive got a clifford g5 fitted on mine set me back 1k and worth every penny as even if the sound of the alarm doesnt put them off its got coded entry and black jack cut off on it... brilliant alarms i would recomend the g5 to anyone not sure about the above alarm but cliffords are great from personal opinion
:rockon: plus as said they have some really good ghadgets to offer ive got the fob start and built in turbo timer along with boot popper and when locked all windows close automatically brilliant for showing off lol!

How does the built in turbo timer work?
has your old turbo timer been removed?

Just for your/other peoples information;
Most insurers dont like the black jack feature on the alarms, some refuse to insure.
Also with a turbo timer fitted it voids the cat 1 status of the alarm
, even if its an addon for the alarm.starletgt.neal

yeah old turbo timer was removed mate and its just a relay in the ignition keeps the car running for 30seconds 1min or 4mins depending on what button i press on tthe fob before i turn ignition off...really good alarm mate would definatly recomend them

not sure about that my insurers asked what security features i had i told them the alarm make and what add-ons it had and they said 'thats brilliant nice and safe then' ??? and clifford also stated that it has 5years warranty and i have a certificate for it being a cat 1 alarm fitted by a clifford rep lol??

not had my alarm fitted yet, but going with safe n sound, barry seems a top bloke, he fitted me in at the last minute and seems a dead gen bloke, no question is a daft question and hes really helpful.
ive gone for a toad cause of the advise from the guys on this forum.
my mates got a clifford 650 mk2 in his defender, cost £440 for it fitted and hes had nowt but problems, good alarm though, but is it really worth all the hastle? poor bugger though, ive been quoted £280 for the same alarm haha.
sorry for the essay.

one word of warning peeps though about the toad alarm, dont start your car and then close the door without you inside, will lock up automatically in 10 seconds leavin you outside the car and the keys inside with the car turned on lol :haha: happened to me

yer lol i always used to wind the window down if i was outside lol
for remote start its an extra 60 quid i think and thats from barry, you dont need turbo timer then coz you can start and stop the car any time you want
will cost more for a full closure module but dunno how much
luckly i was at home and had a spare fob in my room lol

lol good thing is you got it out ey, one guy i no waited for the petrol to finish and then it would just open the car doors once it turned off.......he had to get up at 3am though:haha:
