Also does anyone know if, of the most stolen models, is it limited to only those that don't include factory security?  My wife's car is one of those and without the key fob inside the car there's no way it will start.

 

 

Successfully stolen, yeah it will stop it, but they still get broken into and trashed. If its like the aqua and there are models without security, then it will get tried and if they fail friends have found they just trash the interior even more and then move on.

Why every single time that the car won’t start the Gods make sure it’s on a Friday afternoon when all the mechanics are having drinks and closing for the weekend! I passionately hate the new immobiliser that was thrust upon us thanks to owning the most stolen car. It’s been trouble ever since. 

 

Did I mention watching the phone dying while having to listen to their company advertising for 10 long minutes about their services and how they put things right the first time.

Mazda?

A super decent installer who supplies the garage who installed it came and put in a new immobiliser on the weekend. He was amazing. He didn’t have to do this as I had an appointment with the garage today but he said they would call him anyway and he’d rather do it himself. Just an incredibly nice guy who went out of his way to help and on a Sunday.
