Bad points - starting it in gear.
good points - starting it somewhere busy and the priceless looks on peoples faces when the car starts itself.

remote engine start is just an option that may or may not be added to your clifford, i decided against it on mine but i can add it in the future if i wish. pretty nifty alarms though i must say, they are very sensative.

 Yeah sometimes a bit too sensitive though, that's my only fault with the clifford alarm on my corsa. Other than that had no problems with the remote engine start facility. Didn't know it wasn't cat1 though either

Was an option for an extra £60 when i got mine. Pointless if you ask me, and once you've shown your mates the novelty dies quickly.
