Which alarms system?

[goonersteve 0]

As the title says, any recommendations? I don't wanna spend too much, but obviously i want something that does the job and must be minimum Cat 2 to keep my insurance valid.

Any ideas how much it'll hit me in the pocket?

Cheers.

That aint bad at all. The prices i've seen online are alot higher than that, but i guess they probably include cost of fitting as well.

Unfortunately, from inurance side of things, they'll want a certificate to show proof of proffessional fitting anyway.

Cheers for the info Tony

I got a Clifford Concept 650 mkII fitted for £500 from GAP. Got the fitter to wire the headlights to a button on the fob so i can A) find my car in a car park should i forget where i parked but more importantly light my way to the car so i dont step in sh1te what with living on a farm an all!

Hahaha! Well i'm not really looking to spend anywhere near that much, but i guess you get what you pay for.

unfortunately fitting yourself means u lose thatcham status:/

unless u just happen to be a qualified technician...in which case i doubt he'd be here asking which alarm to fit

personally i got a clifford 650 and would deffo NOT recommend it...its caused me no end of hassle, back to the fitters 3 times and had to have a new control unit fitted :@

Yeah thats true and i do need it to be approved for insurance purposes, so self-fitting aint an option for me.

I'll avoid the Clifford 650 then!

I had a Sigma S series on mine, full closure and simple one button fob no problems at all about 300 fitted with the ticket

That sounds alright. Any idea how much of that would've been for the fitting?
