Security System - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Mach4me · 02-09-2003, 01:47 PM

Hi,

We've just signed on the dotted line yesterday for our Mach 1. It has a build date of Feb. 17th. In preperation for it's arrival we have started researching some anti theft systems. We had a 1990 5.0 LX notchback for 10 years. We use to show it in some local shows and it was in great condition for a 10 year old with 240,000 KM's on it. All we had for a security system was an ignition kill switch. It took some theifs 5 minutes to get in and
by-pass the system and then another 45 minutes to loose control and right it off. So, we are concerned with Mach being such a unique car that it might be targeted. I have spoken to one dealer so far and they recomend the "Boomerang2" tracking system and a "Viper 300 ESP" for the noise maker.
Does anyone have any experience with these systems or something similar? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Mach4Me,

Another company that makes security systems is Clifford. I own a 1998 Explorer Sport 2 door and had a Clifford Solaris remote start/security system installed shortly after purchase. I've been extremely satisfied with the performance of this system during the last 4 years. When I get my Mach 1, it will definitely be protected by a Clifford system.

It's important to note that Clifford systems are more expensive than do-it-yourself or low-cost anti-theft systems, but I believe the features and protection they provide are worth the additional cost.
