Ive just had one fitted and i'm pleased with it,use it all the time and it saves you sitting there for two minutes after youv'e parked up.Plus you dont need to set it if you dont want to!!

If you have a Clifford Concept alarm you should not need to pay any more for the turbo-timer facility, certainly not £70 anyway!!!
The Clifford alarm has a built in timer feature AS STANDARD which can be used for a variety of things, in this case a turbo-timer. The installer simply sets it up via the Wizard to keep the ignition turned on for a programmable time period, in my case 2 mins. It didn't cost any more.
You activate it by pressing a button on your remote whilst the engine is running. You then remove your keys, arm the alarm as usual and it will switch off after 2 mins or when you press the button again. If you leave your lights on these will also light up when you press the button again later, handy to find your car and looks mad too! I've lost count of the amount of 'Christine' impressions CK1 has done!!!
With just this feature, if anyone was to break into the car the engine would not shut down, but the steering lock would engage if it wasn't already and the engine will stil shut down after 2 mins.
I also now have the 'Intellistart' which takes things a step further, but would recommend anyone with a Clifford alarm to use the timer function as a tt.

I've got one on my concept 600, it's a god send, saves my spending over 100 for a blitz item and it only cost me 40, result
I could give you the number but it's only local to me.
