Falcon Alarms!! WARNING

[Adam_Q]

Falcon are a bunch of con-artists!!!!

I bought the Evo 4 with remote start back at Trax at a nice £80 and was told the fitting would be £80, later to find out its actually £150!!! C**TS!!!

Secondly the engineer comes out and says I need a remote bypass kit for the remote start to work on a Saxo!! Oh and this kit doesn't come with proxy sensors which are another £30!

Then two weeks later the alarm started playing up, like going off for no reason, not disarming or opening the doors oh and the best part... It goes off while i'm driving!!!

So after 2 weeks of waiting for the part (damn post strike!!!) the new central unit turned up. I was able to replace it myself in about 20 minutes.

But now I find out the remote start should allow the heaters to work but I need something else for this to work!!

But i'm not paying to have this fitter so Colin (engineer) is going to talk to Falcon.

Just a word of warning! The alarm works well (as long as you don't get a fooked one that needs every part replacing). But Falcon are crap!

This comes as no shock for a lot of you guys.... Even after Cracknell told me not to buy it..lol!

Think that your right but I needed one and it had to be "cheap" but that was wrong... :(

Its a good alarm though, it does its job. Just annoyed by Falcon's atitude :rage:

I think that next time (if there is a next time) i will speak to reevesy.

I could not agree more :hug:

Should of fitted it yourself mate took me like 2hours or less. Not brilliant things.

I have said for years never by an alarm unless you get a proper fitted price. I would never fit remote start to a car either!

[MikeCracknell]

I have the perfect picture for this alarm:

But as you already said, I warned you not to buy it, but I also warned you not to buy a Clifford alarm through GAP security.

Get a Clifford alarm with remote start, window putter upper, proximity sensors and the like from Reevsey for around £600 I think it is!

Why not?

remote start apparently puts your insurance up quite abit, because if you start it from in your house to warm up before work or something, it bypasses your alarm, so someone could take your headunit and just walk, coz you car isnt locked.

[mattchewone]

Car does stay looked whilst it is running. You need to unlock it, put key in ignition and press buttons on fob to drive it as it cuts out if you tap the throttle or brakes.

Yeah car stays locked until you unlock it, also, if it is unlocked and keys aren't in then if you touch the brake, or rev it over certain number of revs, or release the handbrake, or open the bonnet etc the engine cuts out!

Bit late Mike already said that! Toooo slow! lol! :y:

Shut up you tart!

I had one of them on mine, fitted it my self and it neverplayed up. Didnt have to buy the imabaliser bypass i just removed the standard imabaliser as the new alarm had one built in. I lad bought the car off me about a year ago and its still working. Took me ages to fit mine as it was a big learning curve.
