I got the factory Anti-Theft option on my '05, and I thought it was just an anti-car thief protection, but yesterday I closed the door and locked it, then realized that I hadn't closed it all the way. When I pushed it harder to close it, the horn started honking and the lights started flashing! When I unlocked it with the remote, it quit, but I got to thinking: is this just an anti-theft circuit or a full-blown security system?

If it's the latter, I get an additional discount from my insurance company......

 

It is an actual security system. There are also motion sensors built into your map light.

 

Is that what those are? Another mystery solved!

 

They work too... I left my windows open but set the alarm when I had to run back into a take-out restarant for a minute because they'd screwed up the order. On the way back I went to set the bag on the passenger seat through the open window. As soon as it crossed the point where the glass would be, the alarm tripped perfectly....and loudly

 

my alarm is not working anymore since I got the remote starter on my car time to go back to the dealer Mon.

 

I called USAA and updated my information with them, but it seems that I already get all the discounts I can get.

Oh well, at least I have the comfort of knowing that I have an alarm that will go off when I reach into the open window to set down a bag of take-out.

 

USAA is not as gracious with thier discounts as other companies are, but that's because thier rates cannot be beat.

 

I was reminded that my 05 has the Active Anti-Theft the other day when I lifted the rear end with a floor jack to add some friction modifier to the rear axle. I didn't get it raised more than 2 inches before the alarm went off.
