what do you guys think of clifford alarms.

 

I have the intelliguard 750 and i can sleep pretty nice at night..

 

Clifford(made by DEI) is good alarm. Same thing as a Viper in different packaging. The alarm, like any other alarm, will only be as good as the install. What features are you interested in?

Well i have one picked out it is the 2 way Car Alarm/Remote Start System Clifford RSX 3.5
I also have another question can any one tell me how to hook up the remote start
to my stick shift.

 

Yea, get a remote start for standard, like a Compustar.

If you want to take a chance, the RSX 3.5 is wired into a standard the same way it is installed into an automatic, with one more connection, the units status output, [ground out when running] that is used to control a transponder key bypass module must be connected to the output of the "Clutch Interlock Switch", that can be done at the "CIS" or at the starter relay. 94

 

any remote start will work on a 5spd as long as u use the status output with a relay to give a (-) trigger to your clutch. but.. it's illegal in some states and is dangerous. make sure u make a neutral safety switch. you will slip up one time and start it in gear and then all hell will break loose.

 

You do not need a relay on any Honda/Acura I have done, the "Clutch Interlock Switch" output is a neg.(-) controlling the starter relay, the status output of an remote start I have done is also a neg.(-) and only a low current neg.(-) is needed to control the starter relay. 94

 

rs3.5 or the 50.5x. The 50.5x wins hands down on range. the rsx3.5 is a good alarm thou and is a great unit for its class.

Clifford alarms are great, I have one on my sol.

Their Avantguard5 is designed for a manual transmission, and I have never had a single problem with it

Just so you're aware, there are some minor difference between the rebadged cliffords (ie the matrix series) and the regular clifford alarms (Arrow5, Intel & Concept series, as well as the avantguard5)

Interesting, they must have changed their wording.

My car has this alarm, and remote start is a completely safe process. Basically, with the car still running I press a key sequence on the remote, take the key out (the car is still running at the stage) and get out of the car, then arm the alarm. Upon arming it shuts off the engine, locks the doors, and sets up all the sensors. If the alarm is triggered at all it will not start, otherwise a single button push will start the car.

It is practically impossible to start the car in gear, and as such one would have to intentionally be trying hard to do so.

I already told you what I think it is.

Alarm tones have more to do with the alarm itself than the actual siren.

 

intel 7000? i looked it up andi only got computer stuff haha... and i was told idfferent.. that u can use any siren and the sirens the one that chooses the noise

The siren makes the sound, there are many kinds of sires, [different sounding] and different loudness.
But basically there are "one tone" sirens and "multitone" sirens.

The "one tone" may have an arming chirp mute, some like the Alpine it was built into the siren and would give "soft chirp" with any alarm, there are also "one tone" sirens that have a "loop" on the siren you can cut to defeat "soft chirp"

Most multitone sirens can be "customised" you can select what tones you want or don't want.

With all the above said, it is the alarm brain that controls the siren, when it's on, for how long it's on, and how many chirps and how long the chirps are.

If your set on having that sound, find the car with it and see if the guy/girl will tell you the make and model of it.

I would first explain how wet you get over the sound it makes. 94

 

im not talking about the sound it makes when your alarm goes off.. im talking about when yoru alarming it and disarming it

 

Some of the higher end clifford alarms the siren noise is controlled by the brain. These sirens are basically speakers and do not function like standard sirens. Most other alarms are +12V ground types where the noise is programed by the siren.

the only other one I know of is when using the "Smart Self-Powered Siren" comes with the IntelliGuard Milliennia and can be added to the IntelliGuard 9000, although programing the siren sound is done with the alarm brain it is still a siren.
Then there are the IntelliGauard units that have an actual speaker , [518C Neo-Siren] it is the only true speaker that I know of, [tones are turned on or off and sent to the speaker/siren by the brain, IntelliGaurd 850 and 750 are the only ones I know of that use it.
