No convincing needed here. I think it is excellent, a pain sometimes yes, but excellent. Gives good piece of mind.

You don't have to turn the engine off, just re-enter the pin.

No such thing IMHO
You'll be fine with the standard alarm. Its based on a sigma M30 which I've had in a few cars and not so much as 1 false alarm.
Had 3 cars with cliffords and not 1 of them was any good.
Next time you're in a car park and you hear an alarm go off 9 times out of 10 it'll be a clifford. I never take any notice of 1 so why would anyone else. Perfect for breaking into then
All cliffords are toss, stick to what the manufacturer decided on. After all, its good enough for your insurance co, why shouldn't it be good enough for you???
