Clifford Matrix 1x 2-Way Security Alarm System

Clifford Matrix 1x 2-Way Security Alarm SystemThis alarm is perfect if your looking for solid security on somewhat of a budget.

Pros:

2-way LCD (shows you if your car is locked/unlocked on the remote, shows you which areas are tampered with and beeps when alarm is set off loud enough to wake you up)

Great Range Uses Clifford's new XR+ Extreme Range superheterodyne reciever for better range and better reliability on signals. Works about a 1/4 mile when there's not much blocking it, about 400 feet maybe when there is something blocking (like a building) but this is actually better then most other 2-way pagers.

Starter Kill Disables your starter in the event the alarm is triggered so vehicle won't start.

Blue LED Let's them know your car is armed

Extra remote comes with an extra 4 button 1 way remote just in case

Loud siren Really loud. Louder then my Honda factory alarm for sure and louder then most car horns

Adjustable sensor Shock sensor is adjustable so you can set how sensitive your car is to being knocked

Dome light supervision interior dome light (if equipped) can be wired to the alarm lock/unlock.

Audible & Visable Confirmation beeps when armed or disarmed, and flashes parking lights, also beeps on 2-way remote

Life-time Warranty DEI backs a lifetime warranty on their alarms & Clifford is no exception

Cons:

Not as many add-on outputs as other alarms (but this doesn't matter unless you want to add a lot of things like automatic window roll up, back up battery, etc)

Nothing else negative!

I LOVE this alarm, its great and really does its job. I'm no longer worried about my car wherever it may be parked and i'm not worried about anyone coming to mess with it when its parked on my drive way or on the street because its in close enough of a range to page me.

You can't beat any alarm made by DEI (Directed Electronics Inc.)

it does the job, i had to have the shop reprogram it...guess i had mismatched remotes or something 123 456

Buy Clifford Matrix 1x 2-Way Security Alarm System Now

I bought this brand Clifford, which installed by professional. For first 3 months, all my electronic system went banana and of course it was out of order. I took back to the dealer. They re-installed and re-set everything. This time after only a month, all my light panel went banana again. All of them, system, SRS, signal, engine and oil warning lid up. I brought back to the deal, who was nice enough to rip off the whole thing and install a new one.

After 6 months, it happened again. I got sick of it. I deactivated system myself and promised never buy Clifford again. I advise you not too.

A painful experience: money and time and headache.

sixwina.

PS: The dealer was very good. I don't think the installer got to do with this problem. They installed my friend car with Viper without any problem.

Kensington K39264US Travel Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod touch

Kensington K39264US Travel Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod touch
  • Built-in dock connector to charge your iPhone and flip-out USB tip to recharge without the mess of extra cables
  • Extends play time up to 23 hours music, up to 7 hours of video and up to 5 hours of talk time
  • LED battery gauge displays remaining battery pack power level
  • Perfect for long flights and small travel bags
  • 1A power for fast charging of your iPhone, including iPhone 4

Bought this gadget to take to WDW in Orlando, as it's very difficult to find places to charge an iPhone there. I charged the battery pack the night before we hit park #1 and when my iPhone got below 50%, I charged it...took about 30 minutes. Was able to recharge the iPhone several times like this on one "full-charge" of the battery pack. Had to recharge the battery pack after 3 or 4 days. I highly recommend this product if you are not going to be near electricity OR if you're taking and emailing/texting lots of photos which eat up some of the battery time.

I bought this for my business partner as he uses his iPhone 4 quite a bit and he cannot stop raving about how good it is. The shape of this device makes it really easy to use as a holder for watching a video while supplying battery power at the same time. A definite recommend!

Update: I notice that a similar version of this gets knocked for not working with the iPhone 4. This model does and would be the one you should buy if you have an iPhone 4.

This charger worked great on my most recent trip away from home. Though my iPod Touch battery life is quite good I still needed a battery backup and this Kensington K39264US Travel Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod touch unit worked like a charm. As advertised, when my iPod battery ran low I just plugged in the charger and continued listening to my music until my flight was over.

The unit arrived nearly fully charged and I topped it off by plugging it directly into a USB port on my computer using the built-in USB adapter. No extra cables! When I needed to use the unit to charge my iPod I just flipped up the top -which also acts as a stand -and connected it directly to the port. My iPod beeped and displayed it was being charged.

A day or so later I recharged my player again and still the charger was not exhausted. Quite impressive. Little blue status lights along the side indicate the power reserve in the pack so I knew when it was going to need another re-charge. Even after two charges I was only about half empty on the charger and probably could have used it for a 3rd charge before being completely exhausted.

I haven't tried any other charger but I am very pleased with the built-in USB plug and the attached flip-up cover/stand. There's no need to look for a replacement.

Good job, Kensington!

I was really looking for one or two of their ultra portable battery packs that they made in the past which was a great product!!

I had to settle for this. It is OK. When you get to below 20% on your phone this product does not charge your phone completely back up to to 100%, maybe 80 to 90% if you are lucky. (The old product did)

The compactness is Fine except you are trading width for thickness. So it will depend on how you are carrying it. It does charge the phone back to that 80% within I believe it was an hour or two.

The old did it in 1 hour. It is more contained then the the old (it had to be tethered by a cable) but I did not mind the inconvenience for an hour. Price about the same.

Both could charge via computer or AC. I would say if you can find the old one new I would snatch it up. This one I am reviewing is something you just have to settle for because nothing else on the market

is as efficient or reliable as the Kensington!

I liked the transparent finish it has around the speaker, looks nice with the flashing lights. The audio is not so bad at all, not like a bose sound quality of course. But it is loud enough. One of the thing I liked about it that is recharchable. Just plug the usb cable that comes with it and charge it on your computer or if you have a wall USB charger (not included).

Usa Spec Pa11-vw6 1998-2007 Volkswagen/audi Ipod/iphone Interface + Aux Input

Usa Spec Pa11-vw6 1998-2007 Volkswagen/audi Ipod/iphone Interface + Aux Input
  • Auto skip to end of play list with factory CD Changer FF button
  • Auto Maintain current play list when migrating from portable to in car use
  • Auto Charge feature charges IPOD battery and auto stops after 1 hour of non use
  • In some vehicles if Vehicle has existing external CD Changer it must be disconnected.
  • Auto Playlist Select - If no play list is created, Auto Selects first 5 play list on iPod

I bought two of these, one for my 2006 VW Passat and one for my wife's 2005 VW Passat. Installation was very easy and the sound quality is good. There is slight static that you can hear with the volume up and the car not running. Easy to controller from car stereo or steering wheel controls. Charges iPod/iPhone and has Aux input that will support other non Apple devices. 3 general complaints:

1. The iPod automatically starts playing when plugged in. This is great when I want to listen to the iPod on our iPhones but sometimes I want to listen to Pandora or Spotiy. While this product totally allows for that, it's annoying because you have to play tricks with it to get it to stop playing the iPod and allow you to control the iPhone and utilize other apps.

2. No support for artist/track name on my MFD in my '06 Passat. It's strange why this doesn't work. I read a few VW forums to learn that no disk changer modulator will support artist/track display in Passats with navigation.

3. If you have a disk changer, it must be disabled for this unit to work. Also, if you have satellite radio, it will also be disabled. However, you can buy a " sat pass" harness that will allow the satellite radio to function just fine.

Overall it works with slight limitations.

My first attempt to get this to work with my son's 2004 A4 3.0 has failed. Installation is pretty easy but we never could get the audio to work. The unit and iPhone are clearly communicating, just no sound. The extra cost cable for the Audi stereo is a must have. The way the unit emulates a CD changer is odd to me it's just not as integrated/seamless as I was expecting. Replacement unit arrived this week and will try it out to see if it resolved the no-audio problem or not. Overall, not really worth the cost or bother.

Car Mount Holder Charger Micro usb For Samsung Galaxy S3, S lll 4G LTE Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-

Car Mount Holder Charger Micro usb For Samsung Galaxy S3, S lll 4G LTE Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-MobileIt's OK. It does the job for the most part, however it is not secured well in the power socket and when you make turn faster than 10 mph it rotates to the side and falls out. I have to constantly make sure it is plugged in and re-adjust it. Not a convenient thing to do when driving..

It is a rare occasion that I buy something from Amazon that doesn't work out. This one is a dud. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. I have tried every position that I can get the holder in and it is not strong enough to hold my phone upright. It stays upright for a while, but then it slowly moves (rotates) downward. But, that's not the only problem. In an attempt to give it some stability, they added some rubber gaskets to beef up the part that goes into the charger hole (sorry for that technical description). While that seemed like a good design choice to me, what it does is interfere with the charging connection. Blue light on, off, on, off, etc. Every time it makes and then breaks the connection, the Galaxy gives you a little beep. I thought at first that I had screwed up a setting on the phone it sounded like an alarm going off. I guess if your car charger is positioned exactly right you will be able to get the phone rest upright on a flat surface. I have a Lincoln MKZ and a Dodge Ram 1500, the holder doesn't work for either.

Buy Car Mount Holder Charger Micro usb For Samsung Galaxy S3, S lll 4G LTE Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T- Now

I purchased this for use in my car (Chevy Malibu) which has a plug that is almost horizontal. The flexible neck bends easily to hold the phone vertically, and the connection is plenty strong to hold the phone exactly where I need it. Most of the time I use it as a mount, but when needed I have expandable USB cables to plug in for power. There is a blue LED on the base which lights up when the mount is inserted enough for power. It holds the phone just fine even when it is not inserted enough to trigger the power.

The mount easily adjusts to hold either my Samsung Galaxy S3 and my wife's iPhone 4S.

My only complaint is the that the universal mount is a little thick on the bottom corners. This makes is a challenge to tap the 'back' arrow on the Galaxy S3. If not for this minor issue (which is not an issue with the iPhone) I would give it a 5 star rating.

Not worth the money, trust me. Why? Because it's poorly designed, you risk damaging your phone using this. It keeps on falling out, and won't stay still when you make a turn. There is no way I would trust this product to hold a $600 phone.

Pyle PLVWR1442 14.7-Inch High-Resolution TFT Roof Mount Monitor and IR Transmitter

Pyle PLVWR1442 14.7-Inch High-Resolution TFT Roof Mount Monitor and IR Transmitter
  • 14.7'' TFT Active Matrix System - High Resolution 1024 x 768 - Wireless Remote Control
  • English OSD Menu - 2 AV Input - DC 12 Volt Power Supply
  • NTSC/ PAL Color System - Built-In IR Transmitter for Use with IR Headphones - Dimensions: 13.5'' x 11.7'' x 1.25''
  • 4:3 Display Format - Full Function Wireless Remote Control
  • 45˚ Swivel Screen - Dual Dome Light Universal Roof Mount Console
  • English OSD menu
  • Swivel screen
  • 2 AV inputs
  • Dual dome light universal roof mount console
  • Built-in IR transmitter for use with IR headphones

It works, easy enough to install if you are willing to drop your headliner to run the video cables. This was installed on a 07 Toy Tundra so becareful in hooking up the power wire for the domelight feature. Toyota's circuitry will allow the dome light and video system to stay on and drain the battery. You will have to wire the unit to a switched power source to keep the unit from draining and as a result use the dome light as manually (ie turn on and off). Also the led dome light is not very bright compared to the factory system. This is fine if you want to leave the dome light on while driving but not very good at illumination when you want to find something in the back seat.

The plastic is good at best, I have not subjected the vehicle to heat source such as parking in the sun in the summer so not sure how it will fair once we get into the 100+ degree weather here. Will report back then if I have issues.

A little over a year later:

1: monitor is a little heavy so expect it to jiggle a bit while driving down the road, not a problem if you are sitting still.

2. Over time the plastic warps a little around the bezel housing that the monitor snaps into so opening it takes two hands, one to squeeze the housing a little bit and the other to pop the button to open it.

Overall, video quality is good, not true to color but it is also not +1K for this unit

Buy Pyle PLVWR1442 14.7-Inch High-Resolution TFT Roof Mount Monitor and IR Transmitter Now

I bought this monitor to replace a faulty monitored installed by a retail store (out of warranty). While it was a bit of a challenge to utilize the metal plate that came with unit into the headliner, it was worth it in the end. The installation is quite secure and stable. The hookups matched my Nesa wiring without any problems.

The picture output is acceptable, doesn't do well during strong sunlight days. Picture washes out, but that's to be expected for a unit at this price. Works well when the sun isn't so strong or during the evening.

I installed it just prior to a 1200 mile round-trip vacation and the family was pleased with its performance, in other words, there weren't any complaints from the peanut gallery in the back.

I would recommend this item for anyone on a budget.

Unit lighter than the previous one that was installed. It doesn't include screws to attach the mounting plate to the vehicle. To mount the unit to the ceiling i had to first cut a four (4) inch hole in the center of the mounting plate. This allowed me to place material on the other side of the headliner for the screws to attach to, i was only able to attach two (2) screws to a cross beam in my installation. The screen seems a little hard to open at the moment but maybe it will loose a little over time.

Want Pyle PLVWR1442 14.7-Inch High-Resolution TFT Roof Mount Monitor and IR Transmitter Discount?

I bought this as a replacement for a 7.5 inch TFT monitor in my 2001 Nissan Frontier to keep my kids entertained on trips. I do not drive my truck that often to begin with but several days after installing and testing, I discovered that my battery had died. Had the battery tested and found nothing wrong with it. Recharged the battery and again, several days later, dead battery. Needed to get a jump start and a day later, discovered that the monitor would not work and the battery was dead again. Pulled the overhead unit, recharged the battery and after several days of non-use, nothing wrong, truck started fine and have had no problems since removing this piece of junk. Only had this monitor for a month and a half before it died. Cause of the battery drain was the monitor. Installed correctly using existing wiring. Will never buy another Pyle (of Crap) like this again. Save your money and put it towards a higher end unit which I now have to save up for since I wasted a good chunk on this cheap piece of plastic.

I purchased this roof mount tv and am very satisfied with it. The only issue that I have is that if I hit certain bumps in the road the screen will pop open if closed. I like the quality of the clarity and I would recommend this to others.

Kat's 1153 Handi-Heat 200 Watt Magnetic Heater

Kat's 1153 Handi-Heat 200 Watt Magnetic HeaterFor my old tractor, with no room in the water jacket for a freeze plug heater, this is an excellent solution. The magnet is powerful enough that you feel secure leaving it attached for a while unattended, and it transfers the heat to the oil and metal more effectively than a dipstick heater, which has very little surface area. The nice thing about attaching this device to the bottom of the part you want heated is that any heat that escapes flows up and around the part it's stuck to.

I've used this heater for the past year in Northern Wisconsin, where the weather can go to fifty below. Just put it on the oil pan and plug it in. It maintains sufficient warmth and oil viscosity to start the engine the next morning despite the cold.

I bought the smaller one and it's worked great. If I had one complaint it's that, while the unit functions in extreme weather, the electric cord insulation cracked due to constant use in sub-zero weather. I will replace that, since this unit is indispensable to someone living in a very cold area.

I have a specialized engine block heater in one of my cars and have used this unit on the others. It functioned as well as the engine block heater, despite it's small size.

I would highly recommend this unit. The magnet is plenty strong to attach firmly to a flat metal surface and the small size is actually an advantage when sliding it beneath the engine to attach it.

Buy Kat's 1153 Handi-Heat 200 Watt Magnetic Heater Now

Works well, would suggest a higher wattage for diesel engines though. The package insert (in fine writing) states "indoor use only," which is ridiculous since if my vehicle was indoors I wouldn't need a block heater.

Read Best Reviews of Kat's 1153 Handi-Heat 200 Watt Magnetic Heater Here

I have purched three of these heaters (two from Amazon, one from an auto parts store). Two of the three have melted the plastic case resulting in a very hazardous condition. Five Star Mfg. Co. was unresponsive. I strongly caution against this product for use on anything of significant value or in an area containing combustable materials.

Want Kat's 1153 Handi-Heat 200 Watt Magnetic Heater Discount?

I looked at this and one of the "150 watt heating pad" units & wasn't sure which was best, so with both being ~$25 (where it's not like buying a car) I got one of each (figuring I may put one on a car and keep one for other uses). One of the places I wanted to be able to use them was on a small engine (like for a generator or snow-blower) and with those having an aluminum block (where the magnet won't stick) I got a steel plate ~1/8 thick I could bolt up to the engine base. I put this heater on the plate (without it on the engine yet) & plugged it in, after 1 minute the plate seemed totally cold still. I pulled the plate off and put my hand near the unit where it's base was warm, so put it back on. Apparently, the magnetic bars (that we assume holds the hot iron to the plate) stick out enough that it leaves a 1/16-1/8 gap between the base creating the heat and the attached plate. I'm not sure if that's intentional (giving the magnets full contact to be sure they hold it where placed), but the heat either needs to "jump" the air gap or all be funneled thru the little magnet bars to get where you want it to go. If we're talking about temps of 20 or less where you want to warm an engine, having the air gap around it doesn't seem great to me. After leaving it for 1/2 hour the plate did get up to ~130 degrees, but that was it (so this does have temp controls that cycle it on & off shown from the max temp and I checked the power draw). Seeing another review of "The plastic melted on multiple units" make me wonder how it'll hold up in the long run.

I then tried placing the "heating pad" unit on the same plate (after cleaning it as per instructions and putting a bead of silicone around the edge that needed to dry). With it plugged in, the plate is too hot to hold within 1 minute (~140 degrees) and gets up to ~200 within another minute even with the less power draw.

So my conclusion is if you want good/quick heat transfer, the heat pad unit seems better with full contact putting the heat directly on what you want to warm. If you want an easy to slap on unit (that can be removed), this one may be good. Either one needs bare metal for where it's placed, so I see no real difference there (they both say "Don't place on painted surfaces cuz it'll damage the paint, so strip off any paint if there is any where you want it".)

Note: If you're wondering "How do you warm a generator engine with power out (which is when you need it)?" I have a deep cycle battery & inverter that should work for 1/2 hour, then with the gen going I can recharge.

  • JL Audio XB-BTU Universal Battery Connector for 8 AWG to 1/0 AWG Power Wire - Positive or Negative

No really. I literally have a box of old battery terminals that i have scrapped over the years. Tsunami, Monster, Schoshe, DBlink, Stinger and this is without a doubt the most well thought out best looking battery terminal i have ever seen. It comes apart and allows for customized use and there isnt metal showing to rust or erode. There is an abundance of add ons to choose from on how to configure it. My ONLY complaint is that the plastic piece that covers the screw that secured the second cover came apart after about 10 instal/uninstalls. the screw is fine i jsut need a screw driver to do it now instead of my fingers. a MUST for a serious car audio system.

Since I couldn't find many 0 gauge battery connectors I went with this. It comes with waterproof grommets and a ton of hardware to fit any application I can think of. Had no issue fitting 0 gauge into it, and 3 terminals this block could power a house. Just wish my car didn't have a very awkward fuze bank right after the battery connection, made it impossible to install in + without cutting and extending 4 wires. Just use it for a ground to battery, 2,000W, headlights, all interior lights on, and stock alternator and no dim/voltage drop.

I bought this universal charger after returning a different charger that didn't fit my TomTom Via. The universal charger works very well and the convenience of being able to charge the GPS device at home and set up a route before departure is really nice, especially if the trip isn't very long. Also, on a longer trip it could charge the TomTom in a motel room for the next leg of the journey. The charger came with a small additional USB connection which I don't need for the TomTom Via, but it might fit another device, like a phone. It seems sturdy, not too big to be stowed with the TomTom in a larger carry case.
