[. . . ] Code-grabbers are far more effective and efficient than scanning. Unlike scanners that sequentially transmit one digital code after another until they hit the correct code to disarm the alarm (a process that may take minutes to years depending on the system's total number of codes), code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your car alarm remote control. Then the thief simply plays back the code when you're gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. It's like giving the thief your car keys. Non-Clifford alarms can be defeated that easily. In contrast, IntelliGuard IQ Series systems use complex digital signal processing and unbreachable encryption to randomly change the digital code every time you use the remote control. Your remote will never transmit the same code twice, and the control unit will never accept the same code twice. Thus the code recorded and played back by the thief's code-grabber will never be accepted by your IntelliGuard 900-IQ. Only ACG can make a car alarm impervious to code-grabbing, and only Clifford systems have ACG with Random Code Encryption. Tamper-proof ignition immobilization While armed, the system assures that your vehicle is completely immobilized by automatically locking out the ignition system. That means that a thief won't be able to start the engine even if he had a duplicate of your car key. Even if he were to find the system control unit and tear it out of your vehicle, he still would not be able to start your car's engine! 14 Optional starter interrupt With the addition of an optional relay, while the system is armed, the vehicle's starter circuit is electronically disconnected. Our Fault-Proof design ensures that you'll be able to start the engine even in the unlikely event of a system malfunction. Enhanced AutoArmingTM If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm, the system will automatically arm itself 30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. For your convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming will restart from the beginning once all doors are closed. IntelliGuard 900-IQ has these additional AutoArming features: AutoArming enable/disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate the AutoArming feature. See User-selectable features on pages 21-25. Visual acknowledgment: Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all the doors, the parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm. AutoArm & Lock: To ensure you can't accidentally lock your keys inside the car, the system is factory-set not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To change this setting, see User-selectable features on pages 21-25. User-selectable entry delay: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you may turn on the 15-second entry delay feature. This allows you to enter the car and silently disarm the system by turning on the ignition within 15 seconds of opening the door. [. . . ] Please Note: There is a column 6 that contains installer-only features; do not change any of these settings. If you accidentally select column 6, turn off the ignition. NOTE 1: Transmit channel 1 (or other channel of your choosing) of the new remote control. You will hear one chirp to confirm programming of channel 1. NOTE 2: Transmit channel 2 (or other channel of your choosing) of the new remote control. [. . . ]
