Cool, thanks. So what is the difference between a Cat 1 & a Cat 2 ?? Is the Cat 1 a better choice ??

cat 1 is the better alarm i cant remember the exact definition of them but a cat 1 will most likely give you a small discount off insurance

new G5 range out deano looks like tasty stuff. Clifford stuff is top bollock and for that you pay top bollock unfortunately thats why i like toad, not quite as refined as clifford but still excellent alarms and a good bit cheaper than clifford

The clifford 650 is the nuts it is from the new G5 range and has blackjax as standerd. i fitted one to a vtr the other day and had to speak to directed tech and thay have only had 2 out of 1000 go wrong.

I'm hijacking now!  Is it right that if you have a cat1 alarm then add a remote engine start then it fucks up the cat1 status?
