Just wondering if anyone has one and what they are like?
I was under the impression they were second only to clifford.
Alan.

Yep, got one myself and definately can't complain. I got the 850 model which is Thatcham approved, so it'll help my insurance a bit, and also works from the original key fob.

I have the Toad A101CL with central locking built in, has the boot sensor, ultrasonic sensors, all the usual stuff. Paid £170 for it and the installation.
Not had one false alarm yet, also touch wood not been broken into. I am happy with it.

i just went and bought a new Toad C5 for £140, but am going to try and fit it myself.
Kris, does the 1.5TD come with an immobiliser as standard or optional extra or what? i think i have one already, can i just fit this alarm and leave the standard immobiliser in?

I got a clifford on mine, top alarm system never let me down and has loads of features, consider clifford as well, just as good, but from what my mates have said toad is also very good and reliable.

This is whats on my car aswell, good alarm and ive had no problems with it at all so far
No in fact it went of falsely once, it was windy and the sunroof was tilted open so i presume thats wot it was (dont worry, it was in my garden, so there wasnt much chance of gettin stolen, just used the alarm key fob 2 lock it as its quicker )

Got Toad C4 as mines is W reg & comes with immob, dunno about the diesel or not dep on age. Check ur log book for ur keycard, it has ur immob & radio code on it. Good alarm but as my work won't supply for diy, it's got to be fitted by thatcham app fitter for certification! Not a job for a novice!

i had an immobiliser in mine but it was an aftermarket one. the cat 1 alarm has 2 immobilser circuits anyway, when i had mine fitted he disconnected the one i already had.
