New Car Alarm...

[xtreme_boi]

Thinking about getting an alarm fitted into my Clio. Where can I pick up a bargain online? Am willing to pay a max of £300...

Anyone got any sites? Just looked on eBay, but nothing really grabbed my attention...

EDIT: What about this --> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7979977734&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_StoresClicky

Do you think that will include fitting? Question is, where are the based in Bristol? As I have no idea...

 

[stig247]

thats including fitting, look through the local yellow pages for an installer

Dont know if these are if any use, or anywhere local...just chose car alarm and bristol, those are the results...youve gotta ask, but most will include fitting.

Am liking http://www.sextons.co.uk/Car_Audio_Catalogue_1.asp?category=5&cat=79955&id=18233&id2=18229&id2=18219&do=ViewDetailsTHIS, and also liking http://www.sextons.co.uk/Car_Audio_Catalogue_1.asp?category=5&cat=79956&id=18233&id2=18229&id2=18219&do=ViewDetailsTHIS...

On average, how long does it take to install a good alarm system?

 

[msa197]

Shop may need car for the day

 

[stig247]

None of the ones youve chosen are cat 1 alarms

So what is the difference between a cat 1 to nothing?

Insurance purposes?

 

[stig247]

yep insurance purposes and makes it harder to get nicked, has a 2 point immobiliser (black wires) battery backup siren in case it gets cut, steel case around alarm module no tampering and many other features

 

[xtreme_boi]

Hmm well I need to get shopping about now. Wish I had time off work to do that tho...

 

[xtreme_boi]

Maybe this http://www.sextons.co.uk/Car_Audio_Catalogue_1.asp?category=5&cat=79953&id=18233&id2=18229&id2=18219&do=ViewDetailsALARM instead?

Sextons said that they will need the car for around 4-5 hours to fit alarm...

Anyone got any views on this alarm system?

Would buy it from Sextons - Bristol, and they will fit it. Costing me £349.99 in all.

Good buy, or not?

Im shopping about online as we speak, to see if I can get it donw cheaper. Doubt it tho

 

[msa197]

Id stick with somewhere local as if anything goes wrong with it its just as easy to take back!
