anything other then clifford do you suggest? like any of the three brands i listed.

 

Damn, how much is just the equipment on average? I saw one post that has the AG4 for $467... is that about right for equipment and then pro instalation is just that much? Or is that a steal for AG4 at $467?

Nah, I don't work for a retailer. I had my car stolen back in July of 2k1--------v


I had a Viper 500ESP alarm on it, car got stolen in like 30-45 seconds:angry:

I got my car back that evening but of course it was stripped, the only accessories they didn't take was my suspension(Tokico blues and H&R Race springs) Anyways, after getting her back and seeing how easy it was for them to hotwire it, I started looking into alarms and talked to alot of people, installers,people w/Cliffords, and just did alot of homework on how alarms work. Too bad I found out all this after I lost my car I know there are alot of chrome haters on here, but I think my car was one of the cleanest 4th gens out there, nice color, perfect drop, not rice at all, sweet system, and just clean!!! Hopefully my 94Uhkord will be there one day, and when it does get there, it'll have an Autolock and Clifford Concept 600 to protect it

 

Nope, I will never suggest another alarm, unless you want one for its cool features(like lcd display 2 way remote, remote starter, or talking siren) But if security is your main concern, it's Clifford and Clifford only.

 

Yeah man, $467 is a sweet azz deal for that alarm, only problem is there is no authorized online dealer for Clifford alarms so the warranty on it is non-existent. I called a local installer and asked how much to install it, and it was about $100 cheaper by buying the alarm from that site and having them install it instead of buying the alarm from them w/install and lifetime warranty, plus, who's to say that when you get the alarm from that site that all the necessary parts would be in the box? I did some talking to the installer and they normally sell the AG4 for $1199 installed, I told him about that site that sells the alarm for $467 and got him to lower the price to $1050 installed(which is how much it would cost if I got the alarm from the site and had them install it) and I get a lifetime warranty which is good for the life of the car and will be transferred should I get a new car and have the shop install it on that one(free of charge). That's a sweet azz deal, but there is too much other stuff I want/need for my car to spend that much, so im going w/the Concept 600 for $650 installed.

 

where's a good place to get the concept 600 and autolock 94uhkord?

 

Ok. So you've got a good backing in Clifford. You like them and they seem to suit your needs. From what I can tell and the little bit of info I've lookedup and read about them, they do seem quite nice.

Now you mention that a "cool feature" would be a remote starter. For me, here in single digit weather northern pennsylvania... where my headlights don't shine 5 feet because of the thick layer of ice all over my car... a remote starter would really really really be nice for those below zero mornings. Is there an option to get a remote starter and have a nice clifford? Like possibly seperate units?

I know Sam's club, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circut City... they all sell remote starters for like $30-60. Can that be used, along with a clifford... and here's the big one... can it all be on the same remote?

I wouldn't want my keychain being weighted down with 2 diffrent remotes and then the regular keys. Or is remote starter an option you can get on a clifford. (look back to where I said about the little bit of info...not a lot as you can see)

 

I don't know where you live so I can't really say where to get the alarm, but I would call up some local stereo shops to see if they are an authorized dealer and talk to em. Go check out the shop, talk to the intallers if you can, take a look at thier album of installs to get an idea as to the quality of thier work. And talk to people who are in the scene about the shops in ur town, u want to make sure you're dealing with a shop that has a good reputation and does good work. The autolock can be had at your local auto parts store, I got mine from AutoZone, and when/if you get one, get the pro model, it's got the barrel style key, it's better than the classic one with the regular key:thumbup: I don't know if you have checked out the site or not, but here's clifford site www.clifford.com Good luck w/the new ride mang:thumbup:

 

Yeah, I jock the Clifford stuffh: I just wish I knew then what I know now:wtc:

As for the remote starter, Clifford offers the stand alone unit called the OmniStart, it has keyless entry and a built in starter interrupt as well. Or you can add it on to any of the G4 line of Clifford alarms.

Im not familiar w/the remote starter units at the stores you listed so I dont know if they're compatible w/clifford or can be used via 1 remote. But I doubt it.

If you already have an alarm, see if it has an auxillary input, if so, you might be able to get an add on from the manufacturer of your alarm, if they offer it. Just know that if you have a manual tranny in your car, most places won't install the remote start feature, unless it's a clifford intellistart unit(like the omnistart or optional remote start units on the g4 line of alarms) which has a sensor built in that detects if the car is in gear or not, if it is, it won't start the car That's for all the idiots who left their car in gear and started via remote start and cause some slight problems.

 

if anyone on here needs a Clifford Alarm, i can get some through my work. i can get only the Intelliguard series (6000, 7000, 8000) and the Avant Guard 4. My company is an authorized dealer, so the warranty should apply. Email me at: oochink4saleoo@aol.com if interested
