#41 of 45 Re: Honda Security Alarm [drmbb] by twothink02 Mar 02, 2008 (3:25 pm)
Replying to: drmbb (Sep 07, 2007 4:24 am) So my insurance company is asking for verification of vehicle anti-theft device. Since the 2008 Civic LX has anti-theft as a standard, I'm not sure how to fill out the form.   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. Replies to this message: jet10000 (Mar 02, 2008 7:35 pm)

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) I purchased a Clifford 12.5X in addition to the Honda Security System.   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.

Replying to: jet10000 (Aug 23, 2008 6:58 pm) Thanks I will check into that system. I have also been reading about Window Etching and wonder how effective that might be
