Havard Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I need to get an alarm for the new car. Jurgen has offered me a Cobra to be fitted before collection or I can get an Autowatch alarm from my local fitter who is 2 miles away from home. Problem is, if I collect the car without an alarm on the Saturday I will have two days in which the car will not be insured for theft. Secondly if I go for the Cobra fitted in Newcastle I have one hell of a trip to sort out any problems. I imagine that any fitter that Jurgen deals with will be good, but is the kit reliable generally? Opinions would be greatly appreciated. H.

RobD Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I have a cobra immobiliser which I've had no problems with at all, I have a Clifford alarm but it's a Billy basic one, so I've wanting to upgrade it and maybe go for a cobra to match the immobiliser so also interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp9876 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Mine has a cobra alarm which I suspect, but not certain, was fitted by jmimports, its about 3 years old and hasn't had issues. It's got a loud beep when arming disarming but other than that it just does its job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalel Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Just info: I'm getting a "Clifford avantguard" (with remote start ) & a tracker for £825 if your interested I can give you the number. It's mobile installation so they come to you, when it suits & install. Takes 6-7 hours. All legit, with paperwork & certificates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 £825 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only need an alarm to satisfy the insurance really but I would like something reliable with a few features to play with. I doubt my budget would run to a clifford as the prices I already have are under £300..!! Have you had it confirmed that the remote start is ok with your insurance company as most will not accept it.

jevansio Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I would def go for the Autowatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Have you had it confirmed that the remote start is ok with your insurance company as most will not accept it I'd be surprised if any insurers accept the remote start. As you say, it generally invalidates the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big chinese fighting dog It's a good job we are calling in at yours on the way back from Jurgens otherwise I would have to make a special trip to stab you.... Looks like the Cobra will be ok then. I just need some spec on it from Jurgen or his alarm man really. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
