wow scary... whats a good lock??? are those stop locks good??? they are real expensive...

I think all locks are the same. They still can be open by some professional car thief (more expensive lock takes more time to open lor). But putting a lock inside the car would definitely makes the thief think twice before approaching your car. (susah ma... need to open car door, somemore need to dismantle your car lock, then disarm our cobra security technology)

If two City park side by side, one with lock and another without, i think the thief will choose the one Without the lock... (less one step)

hmmm so the rm 9.90 one from giant also can loh...

They can use the 'shift lock' button to escape from P.

There's also some pedal lock from Thailand, which has connector/adaptor built-in to fully support the car alarm itself - i.e. the car won't even start before unlocking the brake lock. I just fitted them into my new Vios, cost around RM450. They should have Honda City model as well. Support steering tilting, don't worry.


Well, those brake lock and steering lock are for making your car more time wasting to steal. If they wanted to, I had my friend Hilux with both lock detached and put in front of his house, while his Hilux disappear.



Since using Cobra, they also should have a GPS tracking (+ insurance and send SMS to your phone) add-on to your existing alarm, with subscription around RM300+ per year, and the device one-time fee around RM2000. The insurance claim is around RM2000 when the car is report stolen, and if within 72hr not found, they give you another RM10,000. And they won't take back the money if they found back your car after 72hr.

i was thinking of installing the alarm with the card system... any idea how much it costs... if rm 800 and below its still ok i guess..

Gonna call my SA this coming Wednesday to confirm on the loan. Coz I heard sometimes d bank inform the SA instead of the loan applicant...y d SA dun call? Mayb he dun wan me to pay my downpayment?


-------------

With all those car thieves around...owning a nicer car seriously is another big headache. At least when a City park together with Persona...Most probably u will still see Persona around Well thats the price to pay to drive nice car

Anyway, nowadays there is some steering lock that come with alarm system as well, and can be control by remote controller.

how do they use 'shift-lock' to escape from 'P'? mind share?


i think now delay is because holiday season. most people take long holiday... even some people until new year!


thieves, haihs... so what is the effective way to protect our car? lock?

again some nasty robbers, smashed your window, to steel something...

slot in a key into the hole(only one hole around the gearstick..top left) n you can shift from P.. this is for cases where you've blown your fuse n the gearshift refuses to disengage from P or when the engine is shut off.

Merry Christmas CTzens ... Long time since I buat kacau in this thread ... so many versions liao ... so many new CTzens ... hehe

Autolock shud be better ... more reliable ... steering lock like stoplock is useless 1 as they will juz cut the steering wheel ... this was informed by my uncle who works as an insurance agent which has many exp on car theft etc cases ...

But I found this clip ... older version of autolock ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opwBVswoSRQ
And ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_29IQXRFCI

So far no clip for new version which has star like key ...

So conclusion is ... if some1 wanna steal ur car ... wat you can do is give them hell before they do ...

Damnn~~~ tat's so easy opening the lock. Might try on my locks and see if it's so easy to unlock it

Wah apisgogo.. just noticed.. now your avatar oso changed to your City's headlight.. nice


Crap.. now that's saved by the bell.. erm alarm.. Real horror la hearing your story.



Extra locks are a must if you own nice cars like the City nowadays.. if we dont hv the bucks and commitment to subscribe to gps tracking alarms etc, at least buy reliable locks.. dont be so cheap and buy those RM9.90 Giant ones. Go for the stoplocks etc, the t-rex brands are also a cost effective options if your that tight on budget.

Whoever mod your city, exterior or interior, feel free to share it here ya.
Any ICE player as well?

Finally my loan is approved...2.34% 7yrs...now wait to sign agreement

Which bank did u approach? and how much downpayment you are paying. Such a good rate man!

Mine is Maybank, 60k loan.

The SA find for me wan.

Besides keep on calling the SA, is there anyway to find out whether the car has arrived?

no way ler except u go to the show room every day ...

Well, you just have to wait...besides keep buzzing ur SA...otherwise u can go to their assembling factory in Melaka n buzz their workers to make more cars joking only

Thank you for your input. I heard the SA said the new batch will start to arrive on 15 Jan, thereby, whether you manage to get it before CNY is really a luck since so many people anticipating for 08's car.

Keeping my finger crossed that my car will be included in the 1st batch. But the chances, i guess is very slim liao.. since i book in december, n the SA put car delivery to b in Feb
