He tells me there better than toad etc etc but its cheaper.....which im not complaining about but ive never heard of them so dont know if hes just at it????

I have a meta alarm and imobiliser on mine and its a good system. It does go off it you open the car whilst its activated or mess with the car.
A good thing is it doesnt go off every 5 mins for no reason or if a bit of wind blows on it etc etc

Me too, was on the car when I bought it.. no problems in just over 3 years..

Was going to change it for a Clifford 2 months after I bought the car, but after problems with the Clifford on my last car I decided not to bothered. Glad I didn't now.. mums microwave oven sets off dads Clifford when its in its normal parking spot by the kitchen window how much use is that then if you can't use it?

I've got the same on my car with cat 1 alarm and immobiliser, it was already on the car when I bought it and it's been fine, only problem is that you can't leave the windows slightly open with the utrasonic movement detectors, apart from that little niggle, not bad at all, though not as upgradble as say cllifford

i have had Meta alarm/immobilisers on both of my last 2 cars, a Scooby and before then a Fiat Coupe 20v turbo, no problems with either (quite good for an Italian piece of kit!!).
