Where is my engine immoblizer located???
Hello all,
I would like to locate my engine immobilizer unit. It came standard with the car. I live in Ontario and auto insurance is privatized...we pay the highest insurance rates in the country. The provincial government has given insurance companies the go ahead to JACK the rates up - in my case by a whopping 20%. I have no claims, tickets or violations and a have a great star rating. My insurance company said that if I had an aftermarket anti-theft device installed that they would reduce my premium a little bit. I said what does it matter if I have a OEM or aftermarket one?...I HAVE one...that's all that should count. He then said if I could get the model and serial number that he would apply the discount! Help! |

The OEM one is as good or better than anything aftermarket.
The parts are: 89780-52061 (Computer Assembly, Transponder Key) 89783-71021 (Amplifier, Transponder Key) |

If you're near renewal time for your policy, make sure you check out www.insurancehotline.com too.
It's ridiculous how much the rates can vary from company to company. If you have group insurance, don't just assume you're getting a better rate. I sure wasn't. I saw the articles about the massive increases last week too. Depending on what they try to do to my policy at renewal time, I might just give up my car. I'm not giving any more money to a bullshit industry that subsidizes bad drivers and fraudsters, while discriminating against good drivers based on their age and gender. *End rant on insurance companies* |

Hi everyone!!
Things have been pretty hectic here, so sorry for the lateness of my reply. I have yet to check about this...though with an extra hour today (clock change), I will have to do that. Insurance companies do suck...I am with Belair and they specified the OEM vs aftermarket...what crooks!! (and they're the cheapest in my region) :( |

I'm paying about the same amount (about $20 more per month, for a total of about $200), but I did have to switch insurance companies to somewhat maintain that "price tag".

High insurance is the cost of receiving full coverage and incidentals if you get knocked. Hate to say it, but lawyers and greedy folks take advantage of it to line their pockets, as well as caps on the amount insurance can cost are in place for people who don't even deserve their license for a social-utopian-paradise, and this is what you get. You can thank the kool-aid drinkers in most of the major urban centers. |

08 immobilizer is NOT listed on the sales contract. Tell him that by-law, all new vehicles sold in Canada have an immobilizer from factory.
PK: belair quotes me 2500$ for my yaris :P I pay 1300$ with la captitale. I expect it to be much lower for 2010. I think with my records, i would pay about 6000$ in GTA. rofl. |
