My remote control doesn disarm my car alarm in some places I park but works fine in other places. Whats wrong?

Unfortunately this is a fairly common occurrence, which affects all car alarms at some time or other. In some places you park, you may be near to a Radio or Cellular Transmitter that is on the same operating frequency as that at which your car alarm remote controls transmit. The radio mast will be sending its information at a far higher power than we are allowed under current legislation to send our arm/disarm information from your remote control to your car, and as a result your remote key-fob may at times be over-powered and blocked from disarming your system. You will suffer far less with Clifford systems than you would potentially with another brand as we use a very selective receiver within the alarm brain, and generally you will notice a reduction in operating range from your car, but you should still be able to disarm your Clifford G4 system from outside the car. However, if matters are really bad, all Clifford systems have Valet Over-ride, allowing you to always drive your car
