Hey guys, About two months ago my si was stolen from me.
To make a long story short my insurance is doing an investigation, and my adjuster says that they key has a transponder which makes it impossible to move without a key.
To me that makes no sense if it's one of the most stolen cars in america. Everyone I've asked told me the car doesn't have a transponder, and that it came in only GSR and type r models.

I was just wondering if you guys had any information regarding how to explain this to him. I'm having a very hard time explaining this and it would suck to be screwed because of an incorrect assumption..

Here is something I found that shows the ingition system of the car..
please help me out if possible!

Thank you guys!

 

what he's thinking of is the theft immobilizer, and no, SI's do not have them. To the best of my knowledge, GSR's are also sans immobilizer.

 

Is it AIG? LOL

 

The 99-00 Si does not come with immobilizer built in like the integra Type R. Looks like he's trying to give you a hard time. Explain that to him, or have him contact Honda of america and he'll feel like an ***. I would demand another adjuster since he obviously is incompetent in doing his job.

 

^^ Thanks guys. I was thinking of emailing someone at honda. But I'm looking for hard evidence because he's being rediculous.

 

I would tell him maybe he ought to become a little more competent in his line of work and get on the ****ing ball, it's been two months.

 

Dam your insurance adjuster is a ***** you should flip the script on him and tell him to back up his assumption with facts lets see what he comes up with .

 

what color was it? I seen a si on the Turnpike last week stripped to **** on a tow truck.

 

It's the electronic blue color.

 

damm im sorry to here that i hope you find it and its not just a shell (that happend to my friends ek)

 

anymore info guys?

 

I have had 2 SI's and worked on many. Tell him to contact Honda and try to prove it has an immobilizer because only ACURA (not honda) started with the immobilizers in 00.

 

Tat sucks man, looks like he being an a**hole and not give you your money. I would get a different adjuster. Good luck tho man

 

i would contact his office and speak to someone higher up the food chain and tell them he is incompatent. his imobilized excuse could be discredited with a call to honda, what a tool.

 

they could come with a tow truck if they realy wanted the car which means there would bo no point for the key to b involved

 

I've been in retail long enough and when the sales person can't help you, and you know the answer.. you talk to his manager!

 

what insurance company do you have

 

what he said.

 

Any car can be stolen, immobilizer or not, its not rocket science.

btw, I know, no ads in this section, but if your lookin to buy another one send me a pm (I don't really want to sell, but It's crossed my mind before)
