Default Clifford auto-arm - possible to extend delay?

Hi All

After a bit of a scare I decided to re-enable auto arming on my Clifford Concept 600 but now I remember why I turned it off some years ago. The delay of only 30 seconds is not enough, I am frequently setting the alarm off when I'm loading the car or faffing with satnav before starting up etc. I know I could auto lock too but sooner or later the keys will get locked inside, doubtless along with my mobile and wallet at 3am in the middle of nowhere!

As I recall the period of delay is not user configurable in my old version of Cliffnet Wizard (I have the port and cable). Is this available in a newer version or is this something that a dealer can configure? I'd like to have something like a 10 minute delay on auto arming.

Well I do disable it when I remember, but I'd say I need to do stuff that takes longer than 30 seconds at the start or end of a journey about half of the time. The potential for me to forget and make a fool of myself and/or wake the neighbours is high, so I'd like a better solution. The problem is exacerbated at the moment by my tailgate-open switch being temperamental and so sometimes not being on when the boot is open fully, so the alarm can arm while my boot is open and then trigger when the switch decides to open. Even when I get a new switch the problem remains though, when dropping off friends for example.

Even with Clifnet you cannot extend the timer on that function.
