Ben - I would defintely recommend the Clifford 600! And if you have a laptop get the extra dataport which allows you to hook up your laptop top change the settings! Very cool!
I had a few niggles with the alarm - not really the alarm itself but the way it was configured! Boot release works fine and the window up function is very impressive.
Anti-hijack is standard (Blackjax) - caught me out a few times! I just picked up my mate and forgot to enter the code (has to be entered every time the doors are opened when the car is running) and the car cam to a stop mid traffic with the siren going crazy! Kind of funny - cos my mate was panicking at was going on!
Oh and you can also set the proximity sensors to you liking! I have the exterior setting quite high - I park my car in the garage and the alarm is no good if somebody breaks into the garage and deosn't set the alarm off! The interieor sensor is awesome - if you manage to get to the car without setting off the exterior sensor - the moment you even lean towards the interior the alarm sounds!
Great features! Oh and when you go to get fuel - you can turn the key to the on and then off position really quickly and it will disable the auto arming function - but it still activates the three immobilisers!
So all in all - a great investment!
