Ian W Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Toad Ai606 for me. Excellent value for money imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjp Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Depends if you need a cat 1 alarm or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Depends if you need a cat 1 alarm or not It would make sense to wouldn't it, even if just for the potential insurance savings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 a thatcham cat 1 would be ideal! not interested in all the frills like remote start and stupid noises etc as long as its good quality and works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I have a total hatred of alarm systems, so I assess them with amazing vigour. Toad seem to give me less grief than most, but no alarm at all is my choice If someone really wants to nick the car, they will. Installation quality is 90% of the job, a world class alarm installed by someone working to competition for the lowest price estimate will be less reliable than an El Cheapo installed by a dedicated professional. The less you hack into the factory loom the better, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Chris really means is that he deeply loves the Clifford Concept with the BlackJax anti-hijack feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Especially the "if all else fails" feature. No oil pressure, engine seizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Good to hear Chris! Funny you say that as a good friend of mine had similar issues with one Installed on his fd3s. Do you have any recommended installers to try or just worth doing some research? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I don't get involved with alarms, sorry. I would say find a good motorport wiring specialist and see if they would consider fitting the alarm. Ryan? Most alarm "fitters" are working to be as cheap as possible, so you get shoddy results.

letmeshowyou Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I've had a fair number of different alarms over the years, clifford, toad etc. The one that was least hassle was the sigma I had on my last Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
