And it also functions as an anti car jacking thing. Once you press a button on your remote, a panic button, it puts the alarm back on in i think it was 30'ish seconds and the only way to De-activate the alarm then is by using that earlier mentioned morse code.

Good idea, but remembering the morse code under duress is perhaps a bit scetchy.

if the black jax is switch on, you need to enter the code on those buttons when you get in the car, if any of the doors are opened (whilst the engie is running) the code needs to be put in again, as the alarm may think someone has opened a door and got you out of the car, the next time the brake is pressed - a safe distance away from you you have i think 30 seconds to enter the code, obviously a hijacker wouldnt know the code so the alarm will turn on the hazards and shut the engine down, the rmote fob wont then work until the code has been entered.

all of this is from memory as its a while since i had mine turned on, personally i think clifford should review the balck jax and instead of just shutting the engine down, it should lock the doors first and electrocute the sonsabitches

I don't even think i have that activated, i'd hook it up to my laptop as i've the pc connection but the alarm cable has a serial port connection, might look about an adaptor to see if i could it to work.
