Hi All,

Can you recommend a good proximity alarm, you know the ones that say "bog off you too close to my car etc..." or how about an electrification alarm...shocks u if you touch it!!!

Cheers

Toad AI606 with proxy bullet proof

Depends what your really looking for..

Clifford Avantguard 5.5.

Cat 1 alarm with Remote start and built in Blackjax antihijacking system. Comes with Tilt, glass break and remotely adjustable dual zone proximity sensor.

Clifford Concept 650P

Cat 1 alarm with built in Blackjax antihijacking system and remotely adjustable dual zone proximity sensor.

Fitted properly, by approved technicians, these systems are dynamite. Remote range is up to 3x that of normal alarm systems.


The Toad ain't bad if your after a budget system.

 

Clifford gets my vote but the installation is all down to the installer, you NEED one (an installer that is) with a very good reputation for installing these.

Clifford if you have pockets bigger than your boot

Or Toad ( budget system ) not really fitted correctly will match any alarm

Cliffords aint that expensive its the man hours needed to put them in that cost you but then again i know my car wont be going anywhere

if money is no option go ***** out and get a full spec imob more of a real time tracker communicator than a simple alarm

i-mob

beats the crap out of all the other units you want the remote brake lock on it then try to move it you would need a simple alarm just to make the noise. you could even have a conversation with the thief lol. to many options to mention have a look.

 

What sort of ball park cost are these Imob alarms?

 

you dont want one...

a simple 40quid black box from ebay renders them useless

 

every installer has their preference.

i served my time on clifford, sigma and cobra, but personally prefer toad for reliability.

A lot of problem with clifford i`ll admit are partly installer (if installed sloppily) but mainly 99% of the time its user error, with people fiddling with sensors etc.

my own car (rb5) still runs the sigma fitted from new (i probably fitted it for IM back in 99). My old dc2 the missus drives runs a fully specc`d clifford with all the toys.

the rest of my family all run laserline alarms, and i would fit a lot of toad, and thats what im fitting to my own project car (r5 gt turbo)


if you buy a branded mainstream alarm from a reputable company then it should protect your car sufficiently and be reliable
