Decent remote locking system that does not cost the earth !
On my Impreza Sport, the car came with central locking but only by the key and it does my head in, knowing that I have to lock the car everytime by the blooming key and of course it has no alarm etc.
I asked for a few quotes and the Garmin 7590 was quoted at £250 all in and the Toad 850T at £285
I would like a remote locking system/alarm that does not cost masses of money so does anyone have a good suggestions. I dont need anything overkill
Ideally fitted by a mobile fitter in the London/Bucks area
Cheers

I worked in the industry for twenty odd years, out now.
you want a toad mate, there are cheaper ones that will lock the doors.
Stay away from window closers and other gimmics.
You just want the bog basic locking alarm system.
Local yellow pages with a middle of the road advert is usually a good sign.
With home address and phone number.

If the lad hates locking the door with a key, then he might find it cheeses him off, that as hes leaving the car he finds he left a window part open, then he has to put keys back in the ignition just to close it

Every time you lock the doors the alarm energises the windows for about 30+ seconds wether they are open or not. not only does it cause problems for the battery on cars that don't do lots of miles but some makes of electric window motors don't like it either and burn out over time.

Swiss, not sure what year your car is but most classics need a motor fitting in the drivers door as the drivers door only has a switch to operate the motors in the 3 passenger doors

[QUOTE=500;10089477]Not all do, most lifers now are able to sense that the window is up and trip out so only energise the window motor for half a second or so.
Thought they might, was responding to a specific question as it's the reason i would avoid them but i'm anti gimmics anyway, seen too many problems with them in the early days of alarm systems,burned looms and cars but most were due to poor fitting, although some were down to the unit.
Iv'e been out of the alarm side of things for quite some time, so not really up to speed, but a mate that is still swears by toad,and ive got one thats about 9yrs old and on it's 3rd car

Dont worry, I know the value of the car is not that high but the fact that I drive it means it has a far higher value than normal
Always was tending towards the Toad but just dont need a mid range one

Toad do basic alarms, the 101 and 201CL, I would expect around 160-180 fitted
Micky, Toad cat 1 alarms are around £130 without fitting and take around 4-6 hours to fit properly, are you sure it wasn't £250?

You might be right about it being £250. I can't remember, it was 6 years ago.
