Default Standard Security

Hello Folks

Just joined this website lots of good info on it and been reading a few posts to try to get some answers!

Just in the process of buying a 56 plate Sube and was wondering what the standard alarm is? The dealer told me it was Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser but need further info.

I read that more security is needed so what else would you recommend? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers and keep up the tip top work!

it will be a cat 1 prob is most alarms can be bypassed pretty quickly to be honest go for something like blackjax not an alarm but will slow them down thats the best u can hope for these days the longer it takes to nick the more chance they will bypass u

The alarm is more than likely going to be a Sigma. Simple to work and pretty basic

It does what it needs to do to keep the insurance companies happy

It'll also come with a tracker as standard if it's a UK model.

Like already said,if anything is to be added then Blackjax is probably the way to go,thieves will get around any alarm system if they really want your car,so it's not worth upgrading it IMHO.

Cheers for the info, looking at the blackjax is their a problem having these installed with the insurance companies?

I'll ask the question about the tracker device, thanks again.

u can have blackjax independant of the cat 1 alarm so not a prob with insurance
standard sigma will prob hold a good thief off for up to 5/6 mins max but add blackjax and he has to find and attack that to so looking at another 10mins to try if he can to bypass that chuck on a disclock and his only option then is using a lifter u get my idea now
