In fairness the service of the guys at pandora haven’t let me down, they have said they will come out and remedy anything which is an issue. I’ll go further, Anthony highlighted that my car has had a Lock change to the door and had he not mentioned it and I’d took it to the airport and battery gone flat, I couldn’t have got back in it without a lot of trouble. So I took my old SEC to see what it’s like at cruising as never driven on a motorway, glad I did as picked up a few faults there too.

Surely you’ve bought brand new expensive cars that don’t work as they should and had problems for the manufacture to fix? I see it as the same but it’s cost me a fraction of the cost.

I am having problems with it all and noticed as well the proxy sensors only seems to work on the passenger side. Could be it need setting to be more aggressive. Got it to do a warn away last night and the full system went off. Thought it only does a warn away first. Dam thing.

My app will not connect to the car so cant alter any setting at all only via the remote

Also the chip i have in my wallet does not work. Started and drove the car away the other day as i left that in the house. Ant said i can activate that via the app.. which i dont have working
Another problem
Also false alarms on the shock sensors

I have been intouch with ant now direct and he is coming out next week to change the system for me. This time i will go throw the full system fully before he leaves.

Begining to think the clifford 650 would of been better. But i will see what happens and if it gets sorted if not. I will want a replacment alarm. As £750 for this alarm is not cheap seens as it dont work
Same here, constant false alarms. App dropping out so you can’t turn the sensors off. It’s even cause issues with my tracker now. Antony promised to sort it within two weeks and it’s knocking on 2 months now. My emails for support are now being ignored too.

It’s a good system but it’s not yet reliable. Mine was fitted a month ago and I sorted one issue myself but they promised to come sort it out in two weeks. It’s now a month+ The ghost is a waste of money. Most companies are dropping it as it’s. Ridiculous easy to defeat.
lee any info on the ghost issue you talk about how is it defeated do you know ?
cheers

Not sure if it makes a difference but the post above says to google Autolek but he meant Autotek.

Copied and pasted


Audi S3 for Ghost removal and blackjax 5 install Firstly to answer the question.......yes we have removed ghost ! This is because the system was actually breached by thieves within only a minute or two when the vehicles keys where stolen This I found hard to believe at first but on this vehicle there certainly was a way around it so this was the very last of these systems I will ever have anything to do with And I am no longer willing to risk my reputation on this product and I certainly don’t want to chance your investments so the decision was made To go forward from here I will be offering solutions only from Clifford and Viper which are products with 41 years worth of legacy of being the best Hand on heart this is best for you guys and certainly best for keeping your pride and joy where you left it Anyone that has had ghost fitted by myself that feels vulnerable please get in touch via message and I will do whatever I can to assist Unfortunately I cannot do any updates on ghost systems as they have blocked my access because I speak my mind both on forums and my own page. There will be a video of the blackjax 5 stand alone system shortly #caralarm #vehiclesecurity #thescie

Had a 650 fitted last year and can't fault it. No false alarms and the warn away is great.

All I wanted was something loud when it goes off and this does the job. Blackjaxx is also a nice add-on.
