got a toad AI606 fitted on mine. Altho the guy did a bog of a job and i had to go around fixing his f*ckups. Apart from that the alarm is pretty good. My mate had a clifford concept G5 on his civic vtec vti coupe and we was on the motorway and the anti jackicked in and the car died doing 75 in the 3rd lane. Lol

on my toad theres so many extra features on it such as proximity sensors (car beeps if someone/something comes to close) remote start (start your car from a button /insurance void i think) tilt sensor, glass break sensor & mobile feature where you can send command txts to the alarm to activate or decative

your c locking is air pumped so that wont be a problem.

I have a Clifford fitted to mine and is great. I can control the windows and door locks fom the button. Plus it has a proximity sensor wich is like an invisible bubble round the car and anybody goes near it for to long or touches it at let's off a loud buzzzz to warn them off.
I wouldn't know how to fit one myself tho. An alarm like that takes alot of electrical no how to fit.

Can you not look in to renting a garage instead, if your car is getting continual grief an alarm might just be like a red rag to a bull.

I've got one of these in my MK3. It came from factory i believe. Where is the brainbox located for the alarm? I've got another exact alarm and thats got Proxmity Sensor, Shock Sensor, Glass Sensor and tilt sensor. I want to wire these in my alarm. Also would love the remote start feature. i have the manual too, so it'll be easy i hope  :grin:
