Anyone familiar with Autowatch car alarms ?
« on: 28 September 2012, 16:53:54 »






Mine stopped working just wondering if they are still made new, or are they repairable ?

Nope, but heard they are shite. Rip it out and invest in a Toad Ai606, best car alarm out there, expensive yes, but the best.  Best thing about it is, its Thatcham approved CAT 1 which means you will get an insurance discount (where it applies)

I had one on my both my corsas and astra, cant fault them.

Agree with that  :y
I had one on my old 420 gsi.
Cost me about 300 quid iirc but to be honest, the Ai101 is pretty much the same system and will do a good job for about 100 quid cheaper.
Its not thatcham class 1 but you only get a max of 10% off your insurance if your lucky nowdays and is it really needed on a omega  ;)

Depends how security conscious you are TBH, given that, you pick up a miggy with a oem alarm for the price of a Toad on its own  ;D , but Toad will always be my recommendation for any car without a factory fit alarm.  :P
