Right time has come to replace my alarm for something a bit more newer. I'm tempted to get another Toad(ai606) as they known to be reliable. Although I am tempted to try something different like an Autowatch or a Clifford with a few added features. I have been offered a Clifford G4 650 for a good price as my friend is a fitter but I am not sure about their reliability which I have heard is down to the fitting.
What do you have and are you happy with it?

re. clifford, have heard lots of bad reports on these, and experienced quite a few p/x's being a pain in the arse with them on.
Toad If you're actually gonna go ahead and get one, mate is a fitter, let me know and i'll put you in touch.

A toad costs what? £250 fitted? Its just a budget Cat1 alarm, if you've got a working cat1 there is no point changing.
The clifford on my MR2 cost £600, it never goes wrong and I know what I'd rather have...

Ai606 is usually 300-350 depending on where its fitted
managed to get one for £250 as my current toad was shorting out my wirrig loom hence the need to change. cheers guys i was looking on other forums about car alarm advuce and its usefull to know whats reliable and whats not

£350 for a Toad ai606? You're being done. They only cost £120 for the parts.

Not really as the general price for someone to come fit it ranged from £300-350 nationwide I did spend ages ringing around for one. 
Corb came up trumps as his mate is a Toad installer cheers
