Hi bros,

The key comes with a builtin remote control to lock/unlock the doors. Very basic one and dont have any sound when you lock/unlock. But they can replace it for you (if you buying ask them for free).

and immobiliser means making the car immobile? then how? take public transport?

toyota-corolla SG

i suppose immbolisier means any one wheel off the ground, the car alram will sound.

my dad own a honda civic 1.8 auto, and till now, i still cant trigger the car alarm.

i gonna try the following.
-lock the car and start the vehicle without unlocking the car.
-use a hydraulic jack to make one of the wheel off the ground and see whether the car alarm will sound (when the car is lock)

will try to make the car alarm sound within reason. otherwise, my mother will claim that honda civic have a security car system. Mad

Very Happy

Does your dad's civic suffer from the winding down window problem on his driver side window? Laughing I saw this guy in his civic winding up his window the other day, he needed to push the window in place while winding it up.

Keyless entry is a system in which u are being made able to open the doors without sticking a key in a keyhole. as long as ur key fob is within range of your car, the car doors unlock automatically and u can just open the door. immobiliser is a chip in your remote key fob. this chip, which is in ur keyfob has to be in the car for you to start the engine. this is a anti-theft mechanism. lets say you are in your car in a parking lot and some theif who is heavily inspired by the game GTA comes and jacks your car, he will not be able to start the engine if the keyfob with the immobiliser chip in it is with you. as long as the keyfob is out of the proximity of your car, ignition will be impossible, even by means of hotwiring.

hope that lowers ur PSI a bit.

sinicker SG

so a car with immobiliser is safe anywhere in JB? Laughing

Ito_^ SG

tow it away. Laughing

ditzy SG

Break the window, disengage the rear brakes, and tow it away. Laughing

BrUtUs SG

wat if the system becomes faulty? how u gonna access ur car???

sinicker SG

either the system is 100% foolproof or.....

get a new car!

allblacks SG

but for wat i understand,this civic doesn't have a button for u to press to open your car..unlike latio,there is this button,whereby with a keyfob,u jus press the button,and there it goes..so do u mean tat the car will jus open by itself when u're near it with sa keyfob?

cheers,

allblacks SG

wat if the alarm activate? den will u know how to deactivate it? or else..hard time for u,i guess?!

cheers,

Caligynephobia SG

The keyfob may or may not have buttons. this is in case got problem with the smart entry system, then can override the system by pressing button to open the doors. if the manufacturer say got intelligent keyless entry, but yet your keyfob have a few buttons in it, it means that the doors will still unlock when u are within proximity of the car. so u don't need press the button.

if immobiliser is faulty, then contact the manufacturer if u can't start engine, either that or the car will start irregardless of the position of the keyfob. if u go JB, and ur car has keyless ignition, the robbers sure will press u for the keyfob. haha.. so have fun.

actually also quite pointless leh all this intelligent keyless entry and immobiliser. normally the key and keyfob attached together, so when robbers mug ur keys, the keyfob also will be with them what.. don't know for what.. marketing strategy lah.. make u pay for rubbish. even if ur car has keyless ignition, the robber just steal ur keyfob(i think its as easy as stealing ur keys) then ride and go lor.

Caligynephobia SG

cars with immobilisers and keyless entry will be armed with alarms that will sound only if someone tries to start the engine when the immobiliser(which is in the key) is not in the car. when the car fails to detect the immobiliser and yet registers that someone is trying to hotwire the car or start it by any means, the alarm goes.

simple as long as the car starts without immobiliser detected, the alarms will sound..

u won't want to deactivate the alarm when a robber is stealing ur car, but anyways, if u need to deactivate it, bring the immobiliser(in the key) within proximity of the car, and open the door. i think that will work...

nightsky87 SG

I think there is this system whereby if the car moves without the keyfob the engine will shut down and the doors will lock, at the same time sms you or the police? Is it available here?

allblacks SG

haha..for this,i doubt so.. Laughing

cheers,

bro.. u watch too many movies?
