Kennedy Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 So what alarms to people have fitted?Any you would recommend? what sort of prices should I look at paying?Does a turbo timer affect the alarm? (I'm sure it does, but just to check)Looking to get a decent 1 put on mine asap, preferably cat 1 or 2.Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Any cat 1 will be suffient mate, forget a turbo timer they are a waste of cash anyway! Some alarms won't work with a TT not sure which tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Its already got a turbo timer fitted..wouldnt leave it till it had finished anyway.So suppose it shouldnt affect the alarm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 thanks mate i'll take a look.Price isn't really a problem for this..don't mind spending a couple of hundred on a decent bit of security. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bildo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I have a Toad AI606, has served me excellently.I could most likely get you a guy who will come to your house anywhere in the UK and fit it for you at a reasonable price, PM me if you're interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Ive got a viper 480xv with built in turbo timer so I can fully arm the alarm with the turbo timer still running. I also got proximity sensors installed too so it goes mental if anyone even goes near my car. Has full CAT1 status and the best bit is it has a digital screen reciever thing so i know if anyone goes near the car exactly where they are also shows me ive locked the car so when i tweak out and think ive left it unlocked i just check the reciever and it tells me she is all armed and locked up. It wasnt cheap but i do feel safe leaving my car now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 How much we talking? ^^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 yeah how much?........sounds like the DB`S of all car alarms ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 How much we talking? ^^^It was £300 for the alarm plus fitting at my house, £50 for the proximity sensors and another £50 for a passenger side door motor (although i think they shafted me on this because i could tell none of the door card had been removed) and the turbo timer was thrown in free. Not cheap but you cant put a price on knowing your car is safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I found them on ebay first then linked to there site http://www.motorguarduk.co.uk/ know there stuff and were very helpful when I had to change fitting days and the bloke who came to fit it was sound.

SiCaln Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 i have a Cobra alarm, had one on the SR too been very good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A2KLAU Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I went for Secure A Car based in Stafford, they happily traveled to my place of work in Solihull in Birmingham and fitted it there and then. Was about £180 all in for supply and fit a Toad Sterling Cat 1 alarm. The guy who came was sound and very helpful and it didn't interfere with the Turbo Timer as such, basically if i hit the arm button it would central lock the doors whilst the TT was doing its thing, but once finished the doors would unlock. Also has a anti hi-jack system fitted, i.e when the car moves off it will central lock all the doors and when you turn the engine off it will unlock the doors.. handy this!If you want to add bells and whistles then get the Toad AI606, can't go far wrong with them and they are awesome value for money the Toad systems! Does exactly what it says on the tin. Mine went off when I had the car on stilts and was un-doing a bolt on the brakes and gave the car a little vibration.. so I know it works!

Some alarms won't work with a TT not sure which tho.I never hear this before in my nelly puff mate the TT's dont bother any alarms.. TT's all to do with the ignition so i wouldnt worry about that,I was tempted to go buy the viper as its a very reassuring system! as my alarm the now is basic uber gey!

DavidAshton Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It was included in the £300 for the alarm, but i guess it depends where abouts your based. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
