Re: New GLX Owner (Alarm install)

Naresh,

Thanks for the input. You are correct. I just took my car to what is 
unarguably the best shop in the area and had a Clifford 9000 (G4 
Series) put in. So far its taken 9 hrs, 2 Clifford certified mechanics, 
and hours on the phone with the engineers at Clifford and its still a 
no-go. Problems with the tach sensing unit, door lock module (alarm 
locks doors but vehicle locking switch wont).

Seems that the Jetta is a problem child according to the Clifford 
techs.
