Anyone know anything bout the Viper system, cant find that many reviews about them. Anyone got a Clifford system, is the BlackJax and proximity sensor worth the extra money or are they a pain in the ars?

Clifford G5.

The proximity sensor is a pain in the arse for everybody else, and makes your car a hell of a lot less likely to be nicked!


The blue clifford light also proves it's a clifford, and less people are likely to target it while it's in a carpark or such.


Blackjax is very worth it!

I've seen a couple cars with the blackjax system, and they let me drive it down the road....then it scared the shoite out of me

Is that the system where the car just shuts off and the siren and lights and everything go crazy? I think there's another option on that to lock the doors when it kicks in so they have a hard time getting out.

The Vipers are made by Directed (who make hornet, clifford, avital ect)
They mainly have pager features whereas none of the clifford models do. I used to fit all of the above and pager's are abit gimicky tbh.

There's a limited range on them and within an underground apartment complex you may have trouble recieving the page itself.

If money isn't an issue go for the concept650. It's the only alarm I've ever used on my own car's and will continue to do so. The only time I've had trouble with proxys was in heavy rain or if a neighbours cat decided to sit under the car, but the warn away tone normally got rid of that!

I've a G5 650 too, really good system. The BlackJax is a nice extra but it's not essential. What type of car is it for?

dylbert

It's for an Altezza, alot of people over on TezzaWorld have recomended Cliffords.

Graham_B18C

Ah for the tezza I'd deffo go for the Clifford. Look up MDS too, afaik they're an official Clifford agent and ya get a lifetime warrenty with it

dylbert

will do, cheers. Was planning on getting the wheels refurbished but when I found out tezzas dont come with immobilisers I thought I'd better get that sorted first.
