just booked my car in to have the Clifford Concept 650 alarm and immobiliser installed.
anyone else got one of these? how much did you pay and how have you found it?
i will be paying £349 inc mobile installation
its got dual zone proximity sensors but i want the tilt sensors aswell because of my wheels. does it come with ultrasonic sensors (glass break) aswell?
and can you have the thing that locks the doors when you switch the engine on and unlocks them when you turn the car off?
cheers

That's a good price mate.
I've had no problems with mine touch wood. (The bonnet pin sensor has stoped working, but then again it's still working on the standard Audi Alarm. So I am not too fused as both the Clifford and the Audi alarm arm)
ultrasonic sensors not included I am affraid, but can be added.
and can you have the thing that locks the doors when you switch the engine on and unlocks them when you turn the car off? Yes this is part of the alarm, just needs to be set up.

Check up on them, make sure they are an authorised Clifford installer...
Tilt/lift sensors will normally come as standard (they do on the 600, anyway), but I had to have the glass-tamper sensors as an added extra.
The facility to lock the doors when you switch the engine on is NOT anti-hijack (BlackJax), it's a normal part of the alarm......BlackJax requires you to enter a pin-code in every time you start the car, or open and close the driver-door when the engine is running (40 second timed delay before it immobilises the car).

i have a concept 300 had it for nearly as long as car, 3/4 years
Never single problem. Goes a bit funny from time to time, unlocks funny, or makes a weird noise
But generally speaking it has been 100% fine  (touch wood)

You can get 3 types of 650 depending on what you want - you can get the 650 with dual zone prox (for convertables for example, the 650 with tilt sensors or the 650 with glass break/ultrasonics.
I was told that you had to basiclly pick what suited you best and if you wanted a combination/all of the above then you have to get the 950 as it comes with them all as standard.
In the end I phoned Toad and got them to come out and fit a Ai606i with tilt sensor for £380 ish - Had a Toad for year and never had it go wrong and never heard any bad stories about them goin wrong where as Cliffords can very very tempremental.

i have a clifford 300 on my corsa and a toad on the mrs'.
i was happy with the few niggles with the clifford i have. Sensor setting it off the odd time, it 4 beeping when its wet. but the mrs' alarm is top notch.
I would recomend a toad if you have a car that is new/old/hot/cold. Basicly just get a toad instead.
