Ultima Alarms & Security
Discussion
I'm afraid not, although I am an Everton Supporter so maybe that counts??!
I'm from Reading, Berkshire if that helps in anyway?
Just curious cus of my plans for a Can Am and someone just jumping in and driving off! Have looked at various cliford alarms and others.... was curious if there was a recommended one.

I fitted a cat 1 Toad (about £300) they do two types of this alarm (the other is £50 less).
This alarm has proved 100% effective in my Can-am and microwave is adjustable so works with the roof on or off and only goes off if a hand creaps into the cockpit.
My other car have the equivelent Clifford alarm (C4) which is £100 more expensive and I hate it!
Like Paul said I think you need some sort of imobalisation to pass SVA anyway it should also help with the insurance.
Just a point to all.
My advice would be to refrain from mentioning any additional imobalisation that you have done on this forum, remember its an open forum.

Stig said: FIA kill switch is pretty effective as an immobiliser and I believe, someone else on the forum has managed to get an insurance discount with one.
I have 2 kill switches (one internal and one internal, and a removable steering wheel. The insurance companies I've spoken to (the ones who know about these things anyway) have been happy that the kill switches make starting the car rather tricky, and the fact that the thief would have to use a spanner to steer would prevent them from going too far
Thanks for the feedback. Thats another few things to add to the shopping list for the car.
Glad to to hear that the sensors work OK with the open top can-am. A removable wheel is a good idea as well. How good are these as I don't really want to be doing a "Nick Heidfeld" manover!!

On my CanAm I've mounted the ignition switch on the heater alloy angle piece. It's out of sight there, but I know where it is.
On the dash there's a Run Switch, and a Kill Switch.
The Run Switch feeds power to the ignition switch, and the Kill switch turns on the master solenoid which controls all power coming from the battery. All three of these have to be on for the car to run.
There's also the removable steering wheel.
BTW. The master solenoid is mounted right next to the battery. I didn't care for having a hot battery lead running down the length of the car to the starter without being able to turn it off. This solenoid is a standard aircraft item and costs less than $20.
