our car has already installed with immobilizer, it would be very difficult to steal it unless by towing.. correct me if im wrong..
my sa said that, even the korean engineers also dunno how to jump start the car without the smart key.. dunno if this is only sweet talk of my sa.. but all in all, our car has the immobilizer, it is good enough to me..

using locktech will be double security for those who still feel insecure on the car security.. no harm doing so.. just get the good locktech from thailand..

I think is sweet talk. They curi BMW and Merc also possilbe. They just plug in the special device into ECU socket and get the engine start easily.

anything is possible with electronic devices IMHO. even US militry also can kena hack. what you say? haha

my sa once told me that the smart key cant be duplicate somewhere else, only by naza/kia or authorize dealer..
at one time, the car can only has 2 smart keys, lets say once you duplicate a key (auhthorize), then you found the lost key, the lost key wont be functioning..
what you can do is get back to your sa or go to any kia/naza branch/office for your problem.. if im not mistaken it will take either 2 weeks or 2 months upon availability of the smart key.. then they will duplicate the smart key.. bare in mind that the smart key is unique for every car..
and the damage for this is around RM300/key, if im not mistaken..
well, u can ask for your sa, or any authorized naza/kia dealer for clarify.. hope it helps..

thanx bro.. but i dont think rm300.. last time i went kedai kunci biasa they said wahhh ini kunci ahh manyak mahal loo.. and then he quote rm1400..   that d cheaper one i heard.. if i do at sa of course d sa mark up already.. almost rm3k /key.. haiyoo my forte2.. everythng expensive haha 

read from myforte fb, some bro shared that our ckd rim is suppose to be 14kg from jrd, 10.5kg is original korea.

another excuse to change rim?

Heavy lah .. at least 2-3kg. Otherwise, it cant protect our car.

They want to curi .. curi lah ... I will claim total lost and buy cheaper car showed as below.  (not more than 20k USD)

are there no other same opinion with me....
heavier rims = better downforce = good @ high speed... 

Not that expensive... Few hundred only... I think somebody post it earlier... just flip few pages back... Even supported by SA... Unless you want to change the whole module then it will take thousand... If just the key only I don't think it will fetch thousand...

i search already but didnt found bout the post.. what the topic bout? key or remote or keyless for forte? nyway thnx bro.. if few hundred only my baby for-te will happy back haha

With my lighter rim, no ummmph to drive on high way ... Heavier rim better for highway drive.

Agreed that the weight of the car (inclusive of stock rims) will get the momentum going...but if you noticed, it takes quite a distance for the Forte to come to a full stop!

My first impression during my first highway run back to hometown was, "Wah, cannot simply tailgate cars on the highway already coz it's quite difficult to put the Forte to a stop in the event of an emergency situation."

IMHO, my first mod will most prolly be better brake pads first (besides changing the tyres once they wear out).
