I hate proximity alarms with a passion. I'm probably completely overreacting but for some reason it just seems to me like the owner thinkgs their car is so important that I'm not even allowed to walk past it. I do completely get the security thing though and if my car were worth a lot then I'd want something similar on it.

If my neighbour had one then I'd probably keep walking past it deliberately

Off topic, but it has always bugged me. Is the word 'clouds' in your sig supposed to be incorrect like that?

A lot of cliftons have them, mine is the avantguard 5.5... Was fitted before I got the car though, can't seem to turn it off.

On top of that the auto alarm is disabled but if the ignition is not in start or on then the system activates after 30 seconds. Means you have to lock and unlock again. Otherwise if you turn the key nothing happens.

the sensors are moduler add on things if you can find it you can pull the plug. the auto thing is the immobiliser, something to do with thatchcam cant remember if it can be turn it off

Strikes me as a 'boy who cried wolf' situation. If it keeps going off when people are just walking past it then it means everyone will ignore it if it does get broken into.

get the cliffordnet thingy so you can program it from a laptop, I had the proximity scanner and it was setup perfectly, you can also change the chirp sound via the 'net software too. It was one element of the clifford avant garde I actually liked

Ive just watched 2 women walk past it and nearly fall over due to the shock as the proximity alarm went off, but they didn't have much choice.

Why are you not providing videos of the aforementioned hilarity? :mad:

I want one too for that sole reason. Plus it'll scare the cat from walking on my Vauxhall .

it's a totally different sound, my clifford used to chirp, worked wonders and always got my attention. Once the window is smashed and the proper alarm is wailing it's too late, the proximity alarm gave me enough time to unplug my keyboard and exact justice, although 9 times out of ten it was a fox/squirrel/cat etc..
