I have just had fitted a Clifford Concept 650, which has all the mod cons including total closure, remote start, anti jack etc. This was £400 fully fitted.

Cheers James!
I thought total closure would be really cool on the 6! At least it would ensure regular motor use, I always thought it was lack of use that killed them....... |

I have a toad on mine which has been on now for three years with no problems. Had it fitted by Hartlake who i have now fallen out with, but have a local Hifi alarm shop near me who is very good. I think i paid around £300 for mine fitted. Mine has anti hyjack that closes the doors after ignition, but i would not recomend full closure on the windows as our old cars motors strain at the best of times. Have left the car for three weeks and it's started first turn so not to bad on the battery. Any good local hifi shop should be able to fit one and if you ask around you should get a competitive quote. Look to pay around £300 - £400 depending on what gismo's you want. If you want remote starting and the lights to turn on you can have it, but it costs you more.

Give 01242 679222 a call - company is called Motor-Mods, and tI have used them to fit the alarms to all by BMW's (E30 325iSE, M3 & 318is.) I'm not suggesting you need to use them - as they are not exactly local to you! - but they are very helpful, knowledgeable, efficient, reasonably priced and recommended! |

Having had hassle over alarms & Thatcham specs etc with Carole
Nash, I've decided there is no point in pursuing re-activation of the
originally fitted BMW alarm system.
It plays up..... So, what do you guys recommend, hopefully from personal experience in protecting your pride and joy?! Something that is easy to use, will operate my central locking, not be too sensitive, not eating my battery & most of all, not cost a fortune to be supplied & professionally fitted - providing the required 'thatcham category' approved installer certificate. Must have an immobiliser & interior sensors. Ideally full closure type, raise electric windows, close sunroof etc. All E24's as we know do not have one touch windows. But the full closure BMW alarm on our E34 works with the rear windows which are not one touch on closure. I'd like to think that one touch on the alarm remote will do everything as above, close windows/sunroof, etc What sort of price did you pay for your chosen alarm inc professional installation? Ebay features plenty of new boxed alarms, but I cant see many approved installers wanting to fit an alarm they havn't supplied..... TIA. |
