Fit Sport DOES come with a security system... least that's what I remember reading at Honda's site.
 
Sounds like your dealership is ignorant, crooked, or possibly both.

It may be basic by today's high-tech standards, but, to me, it appears to be more than adequate, and very user-friendly. It actually sounds like a Honda dealer-installed system we had years ago on a CR-V, and I believe that system was also made by Alpine, for Honda.
 
Like you said, it would beep three times if the alarm had gone off due to an intrusion. And I think it would not beep at all, if the doors were not locked in the first place. I always liked that feature because it tells you what has, or has not, happened.
 
I was wondering if I could trouble you to confirm the exact model number of the system? It should be in the Instruction Manual, or the sales invoice.
 
Many thanks!

The beeps come into play when arming/disarming the vehicle. If the alarm sounds it's like your average siren type of alarm -- loud enough to draw attention, but nothing too fancy like one of those talking "Step away from the vehicle" types.
 
I was very hesitant to go forth and spend the $200 simply because I've never had a vehicle with an alarm and am pretty clueless as to how it all works. But the guys at the place I went to (an independant auto electronics shop) were awesome and really explained everything to me.
 
If I had to do it all over again, I would. And, for me, it made more sense to spend the $200 than get the Sport version. Good luck!
