What is the are the features of the standard security alarm on the Civic? Does it just go off when the doors are opened? How about when the trunk is popped?

We just bought our 18 year old daughter her first car, a 2005 Honda Civic LX coupe automatic. This is the first Honda in our family. We bought from a dealer for 12,995.00 with 37,000 miles. Car is certified with warranty. We opted to pay 695.00 extra for keyless remote/security as they said this model didn't come with it. I find that hard to believe. Can anyone tell me if some LX coupe models in 2005 did not come with this feature or was this standard in this model. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Heh Guys, I just picked up my new Civic LX mannual drive and notice in the dealers failed attempt to get me to buy the extended warranty there was the Lojack tracking option. Now they were pricing it at $695, I read on the web that dealers are marking it up $400 bucks for the installtion to get people to pay the$695. Has anyone else had expeience with this or been offered this and able to negotiate on the price? thanks rich |

Replying to: sweetie45 (Nov 18, 2007 1:49 am) The dealer is correct, keyless entry was not a standard feature in the LX models in 2005, it was only offered in the EX models. And the Honda factory security system was an upgrade to all Civics in that year. Here's a web-site where these accessories are sold where you can verify this information. Just scroll down to the descriptions of the Keyless and the Security System and you can see these accessories are meant to be sold for the 2005 LX. http://www.collegehillshonda.com/honda_civic_4dr_accessories/03_05_electronics.h- tm |

Replying to: drmbb (Sep 07, 2007 4:24 am) Anti-theft: passive or active Does the device disable the vihicle (is it an ignition or fuel system cut-off) sound an audible alarm, or both? Device manufacturer's name: Device model name/number and serial number: They also want a dealer's invoice which is easy enough (or some sort of proof of anti-theft installation) but the invoice doesn't have the anti-theft listed since it's standard. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Device manufacturer's name: Device model name/number and serial number: Technically there are two anti-theft devices. The immobilizer system which is passive and cuts the fuel line if it does recognize the chip in the key. The security alarm is active (it only turns on when you lock the doors) and it sounds an audible alarm. As for the device model number you should ask your insurance agent how to fill that out or just put down Honda standard system. |

I just bought a 2008 Civic. I have several questions. 1. how effective is the security system 2. I am thinking about buying LoJack and would that be the best thing even though they have a security system in the Civic?

Replying to: stevenwc (Aug 23, 2008 11:06 am) http://www.clifford.com/Products/Product.aspx?ProductID=705 I arm both the factory system as well as the Clifford. With both systems armed, I'm not too concerned with the car being stolen so I didn't get the Lo Jack. I was more concerned about vandalism such as stealing the Nav System. With the Clifford, I have a shock sensor which will detect window breakage. I also have a two way transmitter which will instantly page me should something occur. My car is parked on the opposite side of my apartment building, so I wanted something which would alert me at night that something was happening. The bright flashing blue light of the Clifford is also a nice touch---lets people know that there is something else in there other than the Honda factory system.
