Amjad Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Anyone know of any decent alarms that won't cost the earth? Either one that has built in Turbo timer function or allows a TT to work. Remote start would be nice! Amjad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I got a clifford concept alarm second hand off gumtree for 50 sheets! Has a built in tt, remote start proximity sensors etc was only a couple of months old and came with the box etc. I see decent ones on there regularly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lew91 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I've got a falcon alarm system with remote start, door and boot popper and a few other things, also wired into the TT so locks itself when it turns off. Never really heard of it but could be worth a google. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 In my first Glanza I had a Viper 480xv, cost way too much but it could turbo time and lock / arm the car at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How much would a alarm fitter cost to get it installed? Because I'd like the insurance certificate. How long can the TT run for? I've got a falcon alarm system with remote start, door and boot popper and a few other things, also wired into the TT so locks itself when it turns off.Never really heard of it but could be worth a google.Only thing with that is that it doesn't lock with engine running so not much point in having the TT function if I can't leave the car lol In my first Glanza I had a Viper 480xv, cost way too much but it could turbo time and lock / arm the car at the same time.This one seems to have quite expensive prices with the remote start! I can't see anything listed about TT, but I'm guessing it has an aux connection to run an external TT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lew91 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Oh yeah you can lock it with the engine running as well, I'll try grab a pic of the fob so you wich one I'm on about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 That looks pretty good, might even go for that despite it not being Cat 1. Just need someone to find an auto electrician in S Wales to fit it as the supplied prices are really cheap but fitted is £299 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Fit one your self mate its not that hard I have a clifford arrow 5.1 even accepted it on my insurance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Wouldn't really have the time spare even if I was competent enough to fit it unfortunately! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yeah i got a certificate too, was really lucky! Fitting it looks like a piece of piss as its labled up i was quoted £50 to have it fitted. Not sure about the turbo timer ive not used it yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Wow that's a pretty sweel deal you got by the sounds of it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patches Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I have a clifford concept 650mkII that had turbo timer built in as standard. Remote start costs extra. Really good alarm, you set how long you want the turbo timer to run then when your about to take the keys out you hit g5 and unlock then take your keys out and it will run. It only works when you want it to which is good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pacman Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Be careful which alarm you choose as a cat 1 immobiliser will cut two of three circuits when it's armed; the fuel pump, ignition or starter motor. Obviously you need the fuel and ignition circuits for the engine to run. I had a mate (who's a vehicle electrician) supply and install a new laserline cat 1 alarm for less than £150. He wired the immobiliser so there were two cuts on the starter circuit; this meant the TT could still do its job once the car was locked/alarmed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pacman Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 By the way, the guy I used highly recommended steering clear of Clifford as they tend to have problems with false alarms etc. After a lot of issues with Clifford he now fits toad or laserline. Remote start is also illegal (technically TT's are too) and apparently invalidates cat 1 status. If you do go for remote start, make sure you leave the car in neutral every time you get out!

How much would your friend charge to fit a supplied alarm with engine start and possibly turbo timer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
