The group buy price as agreed with a supplier is £130 (inc VAT) for a blackjax anti-hijack device fitted in Leeds.
This is probably one of the best price thats ever been given for this device ,if we can get 10 or more people to get one
info on blackjax system can be found here
So all the people who would showed interest in this or anyone who would like one of these units fitting please leave your name below and email me with contact details please and type/year of car you want it fitting in.
This is a cash price and must be paid for on the day of fitting, the guy doing the work has been a registered clifford installer for years and knows his stuff
I dont think you'll get a better price than this anywhere

not too sure mate, I'll ask him about it next time I speak to him, or you can have a chat with him yourself while he's fitting your blackjax

Phil,
Might be interested as I work in Leeds, couple of questions though;
1. On the scoob where would the (keypad I presume) be fitted to unarm it?
2. Where is this guy based in Leeds?
3. Have you any idea of how long it takes to fit?
Damian.

It takes about 3 hours to fit AFAIK , and the keypad could go anywhere you wanted, within reason. I'll probably get mine fitted in the little change box above the drivers right knee, but I dont suppose it matters.
the guy is very flexible as to which area he fits ,If your not too far he'll even come to you, but for the amount he's charging he would prefer to do 2 at the same location

Looked at the info on the link and still not sure how it works. Does it arm each time the key is inserted and is unarmed by the keypad - which you do each time you wish to drive it? Therefore, if you're car jacked do you need to remove the key before they try and drive off, otherwise it won't shut down the car until after they restart the engine? Is that right?
Anyone got one fitted to a MY03? Where's your keypad, did it work / conflict with the standard alarm and imobiliser?

Is this guy a currently registered Clifford installer and if so, what is his company name?
If there was a problem with the Blackjax I'd rather be dealing with a known company, rather than tracking down some guy with a mobile number!

Yes DJ he is a registered installer and has his own company but until fitting dates are confirmed he'd prefer to stay annonymous as he has just sold the old company that he had ,and dosnt want any hard feelings between himself and the new owners of his old company as they are regularly on this board.
nothing underhanded , its all legit he just dosnt want the agro he'll get from undercutting .

I am interested in this BUT.... have been following a thread on another bb where this is stated.
Right Ive just been on to Direct electronics 01372 847120 ( Clifford subsidary company )
BLACKJAXX INVALIDATES your insurance because THATCHAM believe you should not be able to immoblise your car whilst it is in motion thats why BLACKJAXX has NEVER BEEN thatcham approved! People should be aware of this should they find themselves in a position of trying to claim for any damages while the system was active
Feel free to phone the above number for your own piece of mind

I'll phone my insurance company and ask them.
[edited after I spoke to insurers]
I told them what the blackjax system was and what it did ,and asked them if it in anyway could or will invalidate my insurance policy.
There response was NO. they said that quite a few people were having these fitted as a further upgrade to vehicle security and it will not effect my insurance cover in anyway
I'm insured with Liverpool Victoria .
hope that helps

A few people on this other bb are pretty adamant that it does invalidate insurance. I guess the only answer really is for everyone to check with there Ins Co first, which I shall be doing.

Hi Phil,
Just to add my 2p, hopefully as a bit of added reassurance....
I've had BlackJax on my MY02 WRX wagon for 2 years now, and the system is excellent. In fact, it was fitted locally (together with the Concept 600) by the guy that I think you're referring to in this group buy. If so, his standards of workmanship cannot be faulted. The system has also been totally reliable.
If anyone wants any more info on how it works, or on the quality of the installation, please feel free to mail me offline.
Cheers, HB.

"OVER 500 VIEWS !!!!"
and so far only 5 takers.
This is probaly the Cheapest BlackJax System you'll ever have chance of getting your hands on, and a very good safety element to complement your car security.
BTT for tea time

Do you need to have a Clifford alarm system to work with Blackjax as I had a Clifford concept 600 alarm fitted to my previous car with Blackjax. It was nothing more than a pain in the rear end the car always false actviated the alarm and immobiliser and Sometimes didnt recognise the key fob. After the dealer couldnt find the fault and advised me to go direct to Clifford. Clifford themselves were not interested in this faulty product commenting that the car must be nervous.
BlackJax on its own would be fantastic but if it has to be connected with a Clifford alarm then due to the very poor customer service and backup from the company I would rather risk being carjacked than being woken every two minutes and annoying the neighbours again with faulty products.
Only managed to cure the problem by getting the main dealer to rip the Concept 600 out and I paid for a decent cat 1 alarm by another company.
