Dont get an Ai606.
Had nothing but problems with mine. It works, but i have to manually lock a drivers door, and they expect me to go back to ipswich to get it sorted.
(The alarm still sounds though )

About £250, unless you get group member discounts at places like Icy did.

Nahh, I arm it and it locks the passanger side and sets, but doesn't lock the drivers side. They have said "oh its mechanical." Like feck, i've sat there for 30 min locking and un-locking the car checked all the door/lock parts. Must be a shitty connection somewhere.
Also, my boot pop doesn't work anymore
AND
Sometimes it wont arm, disarm even when standing right at the car. Have to keep pressing the button.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrr
