Right i need an alarm for the cabby, it needs to have proximity sensors as its a convertible, it doesnt need to do central locking really as the car doesnt have it but if not too costly add-on then i could get it, just needs boot/doors/bonnet pins, and basic alarm functions like panic etc. What does everyone recommend? im thinking about £150 for the alarm without fitting as i want something half decent and know a guy who will ft it for me.. Car already has an immobiliser so thats sorted.. Ta.. Craig
 
my punto has a meta on it, i think it might be a factory one cos the remote for it says fiat meta, its got the interior sensors you speak of, its just a basic one tbh compared to these toad/clifford ones but it certainly works very well for me, iv tested all the inside sensors and they work perfect, and it goes off when the doors/boot is opened but not the bonnet but i think its probably an add on.

my red punto again has a meta on it, that seems quite ok too, but its not got the inside sensors or anything, just basic.

my old blue gt, had a clifford, now that was good! but probably expensive, if your after flash then id buy one but if you just want a good basic meta seems good. this one if you walked past or near the car, it gave off a bleep to warn you off :D and flashed its lights at you lol, was brilliant tbh but it did cause attention to it self doing this everytime someone walked past :bang:
 
sorry proximity sensors has basically a shield around the car so if someone steps within a certain distance of the car it beeps, not ultrasonic sensors as this would be useless if i have the top down, so it senses when something enters the area around the car and beeps/goes off. to stop people reaching over the window and nicking my headunit etc..

oh right well id still say this would work with a cabrio... :confused: if i put my hand past the window when its down, the alarm goes off.
 
yea Blus cinq has it, very good deterant! and yea if the ultrasonic sensors were fitted then if i left the top down when i quickly pop in a shop all the air movement would set it off.. as i cant be arsed to keep putting up/down the roof everytime i get outta the car! lol
