NO alarm only immobilizer. Why alarm? Annoying and drains battery. Park at as safe place. Minimize risks. If cant then naza can install alarm system to your car with additional charge.

How much is the alarm system? Considering a Forte EX, Fiesta LX or Preve. Headache

bro remove Fiesta, really small unless u looking at a small car, if so that is the best small car u will ever buy, besides the Swift.

if not, Forte VS Preve,

my POV
Preve, = Proton, name, quality, reliability, breakdown,

Preve = great value, ( it should cause it is a proton) specs, almost there, but not really there, except for the Engine and GB ( the best bang ) Very hard plastics. Very hard here and there. a lot of half hearted design. probably reserve for FL. probably 6 months down the line.

Forte = Kia, well known, Peter design it, now kia whack Jap liau ( in the world) resale value. Naza,,,, ? also it is a fine car from point A to B

Forte = Value, for money ( at the moment still ok, but soon it be Preve)
great specs, very long list. What u want u get them, nicer to hold and touch compare to Preve.

Near in mind alarm not only trigger siren but it also blocking ignition doesn't it? Batt flat out better than car lost I supposed

i own 6spd forte, dont regret it, just want to let everyone know the facts and make sure they know that if really FC is something they care about, just get the boring kosong vios

well alarm is annoying actually..if u stay in landed property or your car is very near your office where your alarm can be heard then OK. If not, i think kinda useless cos nobody really care if your alarm bising also.

My friend's forte (parked outside of his house) got broken into in the middle of the night. Broke the glass and grabbed his smart tag, coins, etc. No alarm, nothing. So the robbers can take their sweet sweet time lol. I think alarm systems (incl. the immob) are necessary. They are annoying for a reason =P

My own experience: I used to have a car with sensitive alarm that park near a open housing area and walk an distance to my office. One day I found my car full of deep scratches after a rainy thunder day, where I believe the alarm triggered by thunder irritated someone there that caused that happen to my car... .

I do believe if the theft really want to break in your car they can do it without trigger the alarm. It may just take them couple of steps before hand.

Any1 can estimate the price for Naza to add an alarm system in the forte?

This quote i got from my kia dealer;

"The alarm package is separate, the cost is as follows:
Alarm Only - RM580, Shock sensor for windows - RM180
You can choose to fix both or just the alarm. This alarm is built-in with the smart key."

Should be the same for all service centre.

ouch. what car were you driving back then?

he got no anti break tinting?? so easy break already?

btw, i found that my forte consumed quite alot of fuel..i pumped rm80 ron95..then i can only go until 385..my daily routine is from klang to menara tm..lol..jam like fark at summit thr and then continue jam in federal... around 1-2hours per trip in the morning...everyday..

and , what is the price to change the muffler of my EX forte??..looked so uncool with the bodykit installed.. i baru notice that..the muffler is slim type and pointing downwards instead of that one in SX version, big and attractive..lol..

Guys,

Im considering to buy a forte..
just want to check with you guys whether anyone here modified their center passenger seat belt from a lap belt to the 3 point selt beat...
thanks guys..

First of all get your facts right. Alarm is a triggering system to warn you about possible intrusion and NOT to prevent your car from being started. That's what the immobiliser is for. If you so worried why don't just install the alarm yourself?

how u control your right foot? you step on the pedal fully everytime stop and go? you should step on it lightly and in some case might no need to step at all if you in D mode and in bumper-bumper jam. try this and see if you can get better FC.

I am very light footed one..lol..thats y asking here..

Though it may be true that cars these days have immobilizers installed, but if you know anything about alarm systems you will know for a fact that any reasonably good alarm system will stop your car from being started. The installer can program the alarm system to work in tandem with the original immobilizer so if the thief has managed to disable the immo, he still needs to get through another layer of ignition protection.

And FYI, nothing can stop a high tech car thief if he wants your car, the more layers of protection merely slow him down.

my baby have 7-mil, they just drag the whole glass out.




btw, my fc is around 10l/100km but mine is 2.0. pretty standard i believe. just switch to manual laa if bumper to bumper, or leave earlier

wow outside house only..where is your house located bro?

Penang plate no, it run until how many thousand, can allow ppl choose the the PKP no?
