I really don't like how you have to cut the key off in the ignition. I emailed them asking about where you could get it installed and they said any alarm install shop can do it but I feel like they wouldn't do it because its kind of a foreign alarm

what a waste of money. take 2 seconds and just put the key in the ignition and turn it for gods sake

 

It was all good until the cut your key and put part of it in the ignition. Any way to get things to work without a cut key in the ignition? Have to have a backup plan if the system was to ever fail. I can then use my key and still turn on the car and go.

 

^^^ true! wish we didnt have to cut our key...

 

You probably wouldn't have to. Maybe have a copy made, then take the transponder from one of the keys and use it with the kit. I just would like the ignition not be occupied with half of a key.

 

anyone try buying and installing this yet?

 

yeah i wish someone would pick this up and try it. the cut key in the ignition is just to unlock the steering colum i believe

 

It is neat, but I have never understood the appeal personally. I personally do not like it that manufacturers use these systems. They provide no value really other than making the ignition/start system way more complex and more prone to failure.

Like I said, it is a neat feature and would be cool I guess for a show car or just to say "hey look at this" ... but not my thing. A key works fine... every time ;) The immobilzer in them these days are bad enough (so much fun having to have a car towed to a dealer if that fails... and I know 2 people that have had to do that on different cars) but at least provide some theft protection.. although not much since a serious car theif that actually wants the whole car will just drag it up on a trailer.

 

So nobody tried this yet?

 

I dont think so. It is costly for something that is just a "neat" feature and ruins your key. If you didnt have to cut your key, I bet people would try this.

 

this seemed really cool too bad no one ever tried it

 

I'm going to bump and run.

This looks like a neat product. But lets say one of the many electronic pieces goes bad and you can't start your car.
