we digress, but is blackjaxx part of a clifford alarm, or can it be wired into an alrm, or is it best to remove old alrm and get the whole clifford alarm with blackjax ?

cheers.......

Can be had as part of a full Clifford system or as an independent unit.

Not convincing me to get a blackjax. This is a case of looking after the keys properly.

Glad the car turned up Paul, obviously not the most intelligent of theives to run out of fuel.

Time to buy a key safe. The Audi dealership I work at had a car pinched just before I started there, now all the keys are kept in safes and if any of the managers spots keys lying around the person responsible gets a written warning, a bit harsh but unfortunately thats what this country is getting like. We have even got to remove keys from cars in the workshop at lunch time and in the evening before we go home, even if the car is immobilised minus engine or gearbox etc.

Paul pm me if you need a conact for the key safe company and I will try and find out at work tomorrow, it might even lower your insurance premium.

Well guys and gals thanks for all your comments.... Well the car appears totaly unmolested which is more than I could have prayed for!

Just some points.. I do have a blackjax but it is in Valet mode because the last guy (Before I took it to Paul) broke the button mechanism. It has been booked in to be replaced when it comes back from Paul. My Tracker was one month out of subscription.... been paying it for 3 years.... and they would do nothing to help! Yup shouldn't have let it run out only myself to blame but after being a customer for 3 years would have hoped for a little bit more understanding and customer service.

Would the keys in a safe have worked... maybe... or would they have give someone a good kick in to get them? Its only a car.... ok one I have spent a fortune on the car but dont want anyone getting damaged because of it....

Valid comments, but this in the working day, with someone present, and the car was about to be fired up.

Wouldn't have worked as most poeple leaving their car at a garage would have it in valet mode.

Pity Clifford can't make them better quality either!

Paul, they were just there at the right time. Nothing you can do about situations like this. No matter what security is there, there will always be some loop hole they can exploit.

seems a bit strange that somebody would contemplate nicking a car , which is known to have a Tracker fitted as standard, unless they were aware that the tracker subscription had just lapsed!!!

It's not a big must at all and I've had trackers for the last several years. The car I have now I've not renewed the subs. RAC Trackstar are one of the most unprofessional firms out there. A tracker will not prevent your car from being stolen, and they are easy to find and disable if you know where to look.

Blackjaxx isnt the only unit out there either. Mine has a similar system. Having the keys will get you about a minute away, but it has to be said that mine would have been in valet mode too under these circs
