u mean facelift? Heard from SA the NHC facelift should be around April 2012.

I am planning to get the NHC facelft too.

But after some survey, it seems that the NHC is a hot target for thiefs.
Apparently alot case is open the boot, go in thru the foldable seat.
The alarm is not triggered when the boot is opened,
some sort of alarm fault?

Any security measures that you owners have taken?
I dont want to drive around in a car that can be stolen anytime.

Thank you in advance.

can be activated the alarm to link to boot open at service centre for FREE. just that NHC alarm is too soft.

That shouldnt be a prob...
can install extra siren/horn, not too expensive i guess.

Is the NHC still on the hotlist after the alarm modification...
anyone?

Get a brake paddle lock. That's the first thing I did when I got my car. I recommend locktech from Thailand.

No offense.

but i kinda think locking the brake/making the car without brake
to deter thiefs is kinda not logical.

accelerator pedal lock is more logical, isnt it?

No offense but your reply is not logical.

If your brake is locked, you're unable to step on it to change gears. The car will be stuck on P and not movable.

Also locktech has a immobilizer and the car can't start when it's locked.

the original alarm also has immobiliser. proven easily bypass.


brake pedal works on mechanical spring lever,
if cannot press, just push it with your fingers at the spring part there and can shift gears liao.

accel pedal on the NHC works on a drive by wire (electric system)
even if you push or pull at the cable oso no use.

still looking at a better security solution,
really likes the NHC
someone suggest totally seals up the boot keyhole
or install connex alarm(gps, stolen liao oni wanna find back, no use di).
