Alarms - Opinions..
« on: 12 November 2005, 11:09 »
Need to get an alarm as i will be using my car from next week, i've had a couple of Cliffords and toad, but have seen a cool looking alarm called a Avital 4400 which has a class lookiing key fob with an LCD display with a pager built in and remote start!!!

Any suggestions as just wanted something a bit different   :undecided:

My missus has got that Avital alarm on her *cough* saxo *cough*  :tongue:

It's a cracking little thing but isn't thatcham approved...guess it's down to whether you want the gadgets or an alarm from a company with a proven track record  :huh:

ai606's are known to be reliable.
we supply and fit them for £300.
Cliffords are good too, and you have the option of remote start.
I'd stay away from those ones with displays on the fobs. mostly a gimic imo.

£300 is what we charge. £200 is very cheap.
