M4RK RZ Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 So this Toad alarm A1606 is a good unit? And the price of £219 fitted is good? Will be adding: Shock Proxi sensor Full closure electronic central locking pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I don't know if this is really true - but when I had the 964 alarm fitted (over 5 years ago) I was told that adding total closure meant it wasn't really cat 1 anymore (because the closure might fail). Didn't stop me getting it though (and still got the certificate) and I wish the Supra had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 electronic central locking pop. This is already integrated. I bought one off Ebay and fitted it myself. I've never had a false alarm, it works perfectly like it should. £219 is a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yep had mine fitted all inc for £259 which i had the external prox sensor and the remote central locking was a feature already in the alarm. Think jamie p used the same guy a week later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChin Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Toad doesnt come with Turbo Timer. Clifford alarms come with the turbo timer upgrade, same with Clifford you can get Intelli-Start to warm up those turbos while your running round the house for the last few things. Keeps the car deadlocked while running of course. It's worth getting the full-shebang, i have everything that james bond would want and its damn useful. Anti-Hijack takes a bit of getting used to, as passengers try and get out and cant, until you unlock it with the key-thob but in the area i live in it's a neccesity. I've had Toad before, very good but clifford offer more for those with turbos. What i had before was everything, ill list it here. Intelli-Start Turbo Timer (Included in CAT1 certification, toad do one but hardly works and isnt CAT1.) Window Lifters Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor Suspension & Body Sensor Anti-Hijack. Dual-Zone Shock Sensor Glass Sensor A few more i cant remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 TOAD Ai606 CAT 1 , all the way mate, I have been using this kit for both my cars for ast 3 years mate and cant fault them, excellent kit and excellent price. I used the cliford 650 consept in the past in my MR2 and not much different to the ai606 really but double the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 As mentioned by Matt Harwood why I made enquiries as to which to get, the Toads do the job perfectly and are fairly simple to install, the Cliffords are likewise, have more advanced features but can be a PITA to install around other gadgets, Turbo Timers etc. I went for a Clifford Concept 650 for circa £300 fitted. It's a great alarm, and I've had no problems so far Mark - except for user error! Greg Like a twat I forgot to enter the blackjax code which triggered the alarm and shut down the car whilst driving through town, I also left change in the glovebox (centre area one) which caused te alarm to go frikking nuts! But, we'll keep that quiet! Ssshhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest g-man Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Toad Ai606... Good: Basic alarm but still pretty good. Good range of additional sensors. Bad: Not compatible with turbo timers or remote start units. Avital Maxx1: Good: Same spec as Ai606 but this is cheaper. Works with remote start. Bad: Doesn't work with turbo timers. Clifford+ Viper alarms: Good: Can do almost anything you can imagine. Works with remote start. Can be installed to include a turbo timer. Built in coded anti-carjacking system. Remotely adjustable sensor's. Good remote range thanks to the screen mounted antenna. (viper units also have a pager style remote and an additional immobilisation point) Bad: Price can be high but then quality costs. Thats a rough guide to the alarms and their benefits/drawbacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
