After talking a freind of mine out of a clifford alarm he's thinking about a scorpion, has anyone got one fitted, do they do their jobs with minimal problems?

Hi Mike - think mine's a Scorpion 218T CAT1. It seems straight forward enough. The only think I'd change would be to add a knock/vibration sensor as w*nkers on my street have a habit of driving into cars and driving off. I don't think it's an option with this alarm though.

 

Touchwood I've had no probs with it and it was pretty cheap (

I've got a 2018T (I think) and it's been OK.

 

Recently the remote locking has started being intermittent and if I leave the ultrasonics turned on, the alarm will tend to go off seemingly randomly.

 

I think both of those problems are probably caused by the installer, rather than the alarm though.

Hi mike, just about to buy Clifford conceprt 300 alarm. whats the problem wiv them?:confused:

Iv got a 600 fitted with a few extras

 

The problem with these alarms are that if not fitted by the right people they tend to give loads of problems.

 

I had my alarm fitted by prestige audio (there one of the best audio and security fitters out there) recognised by quite a few.

 

Iv not had 1 problem with the alarm and its kept those theiving scumbags away and trust me north london and brixton where i spend my weekends aint safe for cars and expensive alloys.

 

Its got the works.

 

There good alarms but have to be fitted by experienced clifford alarm fitters or they will end up giving u problems.

 

Iv heard all the stories about them and its down to inexperienced fitters.

 

Check out their website for there UK dealers and the ones that are approved are the 1s to go for theyre the best 1s to get the job done by.

 

Hope that helps

Yes, it needs to be installed by a VSIB accredited installer
