Alarm Modifications

Well of course the Molemobile has the standard Ford alarm and immobiliser fitted and that's not too bad, but after a year of two, every thieving Twocer out there knows how to get past that (may their private parts wither and drop off)

So it was off to those nice Clifford agents at Car Radios and Alarms in Sutton, who did a very good job of fitting a Clifford Cat 1 alarm. This has added another 3 immobilisers, tilt sensors and radar proximity alarms. Its all computer controlled so I can plug in my lap top and change any setting, turn on the light, wind up the windows etc

Would recommend a Clifford to anyone. I have stolen some of its details below, but go to the Clifford UK website to get the full low down

Here is the opening text from the Instruction manual

Congratulations on the purchase of your Concept 600, and thank you for choosing Clifford Electronics World-Class Auto Security for your vehicle security needs! Clifford has long been recognised as the world’s leading manufacturer of high-technology vehicle security systems and accessories. Buying Clifford products has always meant buying the best, and nowhere is our commitment to technological innovation, reliability and quality more evident than in the astounding Concept 600 — our top-of-the-line Thatcham-evaluated model.

Concept 600 is loaded with protective features and convenience benefits, including: Window RollUp that automatically closes the front two electric windows every time you remotely arm. The remarkable self-adjusting Digital Tilt/Motion Sensor that detects any attempts to tow the vehicle or remove its wheels. Our innovative Wireless FuelGuard Module that makes theft by even the most skilled car thief virtually impossible since there are no wires for the thief to cut or jump! BlackJax anti-carjacking and vehicle recovery system enhances your personal safety and virtually assures your vehicle can be promptly recovered intact.

Concept 600 also has our ACG 2™ (Anti-CodeGrabbing) that fights off thieves with code-grabbers (a device similar to those used to "clone" cellular phones). Clifford’s unique PlainView 2 Coded Valet Switch ensures no thief, carjacker or joyrider can turn off your Concept 600 like they can with other car alarm brands. The Smart Self-Powered Medallion Siren with Digital ComLink will detect any theft-related wire tampering and will continue to sound even if the thief were to cut all the wires!

Our new optional CliffNet Wizard™ PC interface even lets you test and set all the user-selectable features on your computer screen. Plus there’s remote controlled valet mode, dual-point immobilisation in addition to the Wireless FuelGuard, an electronic interlock to prevent accidental activation of the optional remote boot release, smart automatic locking/unlocking if you ever need to "panic" the system, full-time programming access (even whilst driving), and much, much more. Yet despite all the sophistication, you will find that your Concept 600 is amazingly easy to use: never more difficult than a few presses of a button.

Warning: when you first get one fitted plan to spend some time getting to know the Alarm and definitely do NOT turn on Auto Arm with Locking until you are very used to the alarm and NEVER leave your keys inside!!!!
