alarm choice!! wise or not

can anyone give me any feedback on this car alarm im thinking of installing in to my supra ,its the Clifford Concept 650MkII G5...does anyone have or use this alarm if so can u tell me your opinions ...cheers [COOL][/COOL]

I use a clifford G5. Mine is a different model but all cliffords are a very safe bet

I can only go from my own dramas but not sure which Clifford alarm it was but i had a full closure type on a B3.2 Alpina BMW and it was a nightmare, fitted by a Clifford approved shop before i bought the car.

Never again but i might just have been unlucky ?

nice one mate so can u tell me...does urs have auto boot release

oh right ,thats not want i wanna here...i was reading the brochure and i thought christ theres so much that can go wrong with this unit...its pretty complicated

My clifford 650 is absolutely superb. Had it for 2 years now and it's never so much as chirped at the wrong time.

brilliant...can i ask roughly how much u paid total to have it installed

Oh god, long time ago now, i think it was about £400. Can't remember which company i used, guy did a great job on the wiring and everything. I think it's all down to the installer personally.

Ive no idea which one mine was and it was a while ago and could have been a fitting issue, the dealership had the car back after 2 months as they couldn't fix it, along with a few other faults i might add.

They could be all good now

yeah i would agree with that,gotta be really super careful with who i choose,but im definately going for clifford now...sorted

No thats an extra afaik i think you need a boot pop solenoid. My 1 has proximity sensors, keypad immob, tilt sensor, glass sensors, remote start, turbo timer, shock sensors, back up battery, anti high jack & probably a few more that i can't think of. But all cliffords can be upgraded in the future. There remote's also work from very far away . I also have a toad cat 1 in my supra (clifford in the evo) & you nearly have to be in the car before the remote works lol.

Just make sure you get it fitted by a good clifford agency.

ahhh its extra...it doesnt say that on the website,just says boot release...always a catch...no pun intended

I agree. I had a Falcon evo 4+ alarm & it went off every night. It also had every feature the clifford has exept keypad. It was a nightmare it kept blowing fuses & when i checked out the wiring it had all been scrunched up in a ball & black taped.

Well maybe they are doing an offer at the minute, just check it out. Usually though they name every thing that it can do. When you get it fitted though they tell you for things like boot pop you need a solenoid for it to work.

Send them an email and ask if its included.

ill do that mate,thanks for your advice much appreciated

I had the mk 1 model on my old Mazda and the only issues I had was the procsimity sensor sometimes chirped in heavy rain. Other than that had no trouble with it at all. I even got the mk2 fitted to the Supra as soon as I got the car.

I used Gap security and it cost £450 to buy and fit. That was without full closure, engine start (though it did have the turbo timer) and boot release. I was basically told that for the boot release it's cheaper to just get any release and wire it into the alarm yourself.
