For the record, my car obviously came with an immobilzer. But the factory alarm is extra, I didn't get it.

Funny enough it was a full year before I realized it wasn't there. made a big hoopla about how if I opened the locked door from the inside the horn would go off. Paul says to me I don't think so, So I say watch!.. went over there and Nothing!!

Ugh it was embarrasing.

As for alarm reccomendations, sorry I don't really know.

then i apologize to vijay....

mike, try this:

stand beside the car, lock the doors with the remote, wait a couple of minutes, then use the key to open the door from the outside - see if your horn starts going off.

let me know, cause i'm quite curious.

Mikes right, its an option.

I sometimes like to hit the panic button when little bastards swarm the car. Makes them think I have a proximity alarm I guess.

Done that before N. no horn. It's just not there at all. I wasn't even aware that it was an option when I got my car, Salesman knew very little that long ago.

OK.

anyways, the key is the immobilizer - i don't really care if someone breaks into it - i just don't want them to be able to TAKE it. the car's so small that i don't really store anything in it cause there's no where to store it!

i have a 407 transponder, sunglasses, lighter/cigs and that's it.
