Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) with Random Code Encryption
A Clifford exclusive that protects you and your automobile from the most effective
and onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber.
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, Clifford 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
ACE 300. Only ACG can make a car alarm impervious to code-grabbing, and only
Clifford systems have ACG with Random Code Encryption.
