This security system is quite versatile and efficient. Although it is not very pocket-friendly, it is also not ridiculous.

The installation process of the Clifford 5706x is not easy for the benefit of the users. This, we think is because the manufacturer’s warranty depends on a flawless installation.

The users will only enjoy all the features if the system is properly installed by a professional.

These features include; a remote sensor range of one (1) mile, a two-way LCD remote with priority icons and a one-way 4-button remote, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

Notable Features of the Clifford 5706X

1) Rechargeable remote

This feature allows you to charge your remotes; the one-way 4-button remote, as well as the two-way LCD remote.

This is a cost-saving feature, as it helps users save money that might have been spent on replacement batteries.

Also, this rechargeable function gives room for full-color displays on the two-way screen and stronger transmitters from the remotes.

2) Remote start

The remote start feature enables you to start your vehicle’s engine without the need for physical contact. It can be done within the one-mile range, which is a good distance.

The range varies as per the local conditions. The factors which hinder the range include terrain, environment, vehicle location, and other possible interference’s.

The remote start feature helps you warm up your car engine before you reach the car, saving you time.

Also, you can increase the temperature of your vehicle’s cabin to an optimum level.

This is very useful during winter or in cold climates. In summer or warmer weather, you can reduce the temperature of your car cabin.

All these can be done remotely, as long as you’re within the one-mile range.

3) Two-way LCD remote

With the two-way LCD remote, you can control the security system of your vehicle, and get feedback from it.

You can arm or disarm your alarm, lock or unlock your door, remote start your vehicle or pop your trunk open.

This LCD remote is enabled to alert you about your vehicle’s status with visuals and audio. This remote displays the car’s status with messages like; DOOR LOCKED.

Also, it uses ghosted icons to show that you’ve changed something. Changing your vehicle from armed to valet mode displays a ghosted padlock icon.

And then there is the Priority Icon Map that displays the most important information in the middle of the screen 20% bigger than the other icons. Ensuring that you do not miss it.

The two-way LCD remote receives updates on the security status of your vehicle.

If your car is being disturbed or tampered with, you receive prompts. When the disturbance is minor these prompts are just chirps or beeps.

But if it is a serious attempt at breaching the security of your car or vandalizing it, a full alarm goes up.

4) Shock sensor

This is one feature found in every excellent vehicle theft security system. The double-guard shock sensor detects motion around the car and can differentiate between threatening and non-threatening activities.

The shock sensor sends out a Warn-away alarm, to discourage wrongdoers while sending an alert to your two-way remote.

But when the disturbance gets more serious, the Revenger siren is deployed at the full sound. The shock sensor is remote adjustable and friendly for residential neighborhoods.

5) SmartStart software

This feature is one of the most convenient features of the Clifford 5706x. It grants you total access and control over your car’s security system.

With the SmartStart app, you can always monitor the status of your car and send commands to it, even if you are outside the remote sensor range.

Also, using the SmartStart software, you can track your car down. That is very important for finding stolen cars or tracking cars in a logistics company. Multiple cars can be monitored and controlled using this application.

Buyers needs to be aware that this feature comes with a monthly subscription which can be quite costly.
