Having moved to a keyless entry and start car which seems to be getting targeted by thieves currently, I am looking at additional security but am getting somewhat confused, easily done! I already have a heavy duty Disklok which is a great deterrent but an uprated alarm system which locks out the OBD port and gives better security is on the horizon.

Clifford seems to be a good brand and the UK name of Viper, however Viper is also sold directly by certain sellers. The issue is that on the Clifford site there is a warning not to use certain sellers of Viper such as 'securemycar.com' as they do not get the manufacturer's warranty.

Does anyone know much about these and offer advice?

Family had a clifford with blackjaxx on a car and it was good and still to this day works.

 

No idea if the thieves worked out how to bypass the blackjax system, but you'd expect they did then the newer versions fix that and so on.

I had clifford G5 anti hijack system on my old car, all was great apart from the anit hijack!! Its just a tiny wee 3 button pad  that you have to press the code into every time you turn the engine on...eventually had it removed as sometimes you would just jump in the car and forget and set the alarm off!!! One time it went off and i put the wrong code in and the alarm went off and i couldnt move the car!!! It sat there in the middle of the road with the alarm going off and the steering locked!!! Had to call the engineer and get him to tell me how to rest the poxy thing!!!

 

I have a Clifford canbus alarm on the new motor and have had no issues at all with it
