Alarm Systems

[tommythejoiner]

as some of you have probably seen im looking into getting my first IS soon (i hope), i have been looking into alarm systems for it , the one that seems to keep poping up is the TOAD A1606. do any of you have this or can you recomend anything better, thanks

whats wrong with the factory system?

[tommythejoiner]

dont really know much about factory fitted one, just thought most people would have fitted there own.....

do you recomend staying with factory fitted alarm then

[Monster-Mat]

the factory alarm and mobeliser are both thatcham cat 1 approved, the system is very good

Wasn't the Alarm on the IS200 rated as one of the best on 5th gear?

I was thinking about installing a proximity alarm like i had on my last car so it gave warning when some t**t felt like vandlising or theiving.

It were a cobra system and was great at keeping the scum away, except for the odd occassion when cats or strong gusts of wind tripped it off

The IS system is good but for complete peace of mind i am thinking of adding a second system.

Would it therefore have to overrun the OEM alarm?

[DAZA_W]
