Clifford concept 600 problems

[arman]

is there anyway jus to disable the alarm and immobiliser??? it doesnt respond to the fobs anymore, spend hours fannying about to get it to start!

you need to input your valet code into the "star and blank" buttons and then use those buttons to adjust the settings.

its no even lettin me do that, theres no chirps, no flashes, then all of a sudden the hazards all stay on and the door locks take a fit!

Check all the alarm fuses...
If there is no power it will immobilise your car.

Depending on where they installed it (and considering recent weather) check the Alarm ECU hasn't been water damaged!

Have you changed the battery in the keyfob. Also, the cliffords have a nasty habit of screwing up when the Backup Battery goes dead, these need to be replaced about every 3 - 4 years.

Clifford DONT sell the battery, they make you buy a complete new sounder for £50 then about £30 for authorised fitting.

If you email: [email protected] she does the clifford backup batteries and comes with a complete fitting guide got loads of dead alarms working again.

solution is easy!! Remove clifford system and throw it away and replace it with another system. I have had two clifford systems and both went wrong and now am never going to have another one fitted ever again.

Clifford system need to be installed properly, if they are then there is no problem with them, I've had two now, good installer and never had any problems.

The problem the guy above has, will be down to the backup battery failing, these last approx 3 years.

stay clear from clifford.


hate them. now i use toad or cobra.

I've had 3 cliffords and wont get anything else. Not a single problem to report over 7 years of them.

As above, if you got them installed properly they dont cause problems and if there are any the intaller should sort it out.

Those of you who had problems - were they fitted by mobile fitters?

The back up battery does not make the car lock me out of it sound the alarm and close the windows. On the other one the doors locked at random then wouldn't unlock when i tried to open it. The remote start broke twice and had to be replaced both times and the siren packed in after only 18 months. TOTAL WASTE OF 600 QUID. I Know a guy in the auto secutitybuisness and he say's he removes 3 times more Clifford alarms than he gets asked to fit as they are getting a bad name now as so many go wrong, well in my case a 100% failure rate.

Useless..

no mine wasnt a mobile fitter. was 100% clifford certified.

was all good at the start, 6 months later it wasnt. removed it myself.

didnt even sound when i was cutting the wires ... and the car started 1st time with no problems...some alarm and immobiliser it was (also clifford 500/600 cant remember now) ....

i wouldnt trust clifford to protect my car, especially after removing mine ....few wires cut and thats it disabled

[ben laden]

sounds about right...
