Sparkrite Alarms

[Essex_Lad]

Thought it was time to get an alarm as a nice sound system is bein installed. I didnt want to fork out £200+ on an alarm because after all its jus makes a noise and doesnt stop people actually driving off with the car. I looked up an alarm which gave me central locking control, shock sensor, interior light sensor and pressure switches for the doors, boot and bonnet and found the Sparkrite alarms which although aint that expensive it gave me all of the above.

Has anyone had experiences with these alarms including fitting as well

Very good system, but get it professionally fitted unless you know your stuff.

if your gettin a nice sound system, fit a proper alarm

to be honest mate with a car that looks like yours does with your bodywork, a good alarm is a must, it jus screams out for attention.......

as in most things in life, u get what u pay 4! go 4 the best alarm u can buy,it will be worth it in the long run. i once had a sparkrite alarm, but the car was a heap, when i moved up to a nice motor, i got a clifford, served me very well!

cack...dont bother...Get a toad

spose u get what u pay for but after all this £200+ is not happenin. All Clifford and Toad are fcukin expensive for an alarm, fair enough if they have immobilisers as well but i just dont see the point in spendin bout £200 on something which will jus make a noise if the glass is broken or a door is opened.

An immobiliser is a different point though due to this actually stops the theif by different means of cutting off the engine

I had a sparkrite alarm on my first car, it kept going off when motorbikes passed it, no matter what i did to the sensitivity of it... it was pants.

Im getting a toad alarm for the new car, all the bells and whistles on it, seems to come with as many toys as cliffords, but cheaper...

[BRUN]

I got mine fitted before I had my bodykit on it - glad I did.. gets way too much attention for no/a crap alarm!

fair point, think ill go for something a bit more advance then

The point bein that i will fork out a fair bit on a immobilser so they cant run off with the car
