Well the police found my R a couple of days ago and it was butchered. . Anyways thats not the worse part, now my insurance company is being complete dicks about the whole thing. They are interrogating me and my wife, with recorded statement after recorded statement. They claim that they are trying to find the culprits that stole my car, but it feels like they are trying to point the finger at us. They repeatedly told me today that there is no way to steal this car. You can only steal it with a key, because there is a chip in the key and it wont start without it. Anyways I just feel like they are trying to get out of paying me which is ridiculous. I guess it's time to get a lawyer. What do you guys think? Anyone had to deal with this sort of thing? Thanks in advance!

 

what insurance you have? that shouldn't happen. they're supposed to take care of you. they cna't just point the finger back at you. my previous car was stolen and they dont' know how they borke in either. so case is unsolved so they had to give me my money. get a lawyer on their ***. thats what took care of my problem right away

 

"it's time to get a lawyer."

sorry to hear about the mess.

 

since when do our keys have chips in them? I know the other newr Acura's and Honda's have it.

 

Get a lawyer, I think that's what I would do. Instant Message "ThePunk"

 

i hate punkass insurance companies, they rip you with their payments and when its time for them to pay out, they become total bitches. screw them all.

 

what insurance company do you have?

I remember a similar thread a while back...and the owner have to bring proofs to the ins company that the ITR can be stolen without the chipped key

 

2000,2001 had emobilizer.

 

yea, which is worthless.


Good luck with this mess

That worthless immobilizer kept my wifes ITR from being driven away. They had the whole car wired up and their own ignition, but no immobilizer chip.

sorry to hear about this..

but have you sent out the payment yet? You didnt reply to my IM at all...

 

i totally agree......since when?..my parents just bought a volkswagon bora not long ago and theyre crappin on about theres a chip in that key...just to impress them folks
long as i know, hondas dont come with chips ..maybe only the 2002 civics, jazz,s2k(2002) and maybe nsx's....itr is not ranked high enough to be chipped..ones that cost over 50k probly might just pass but this is ridiculous, get the lawyer, frame em up...grab ur cash and go

 

Ask your insurance company this can a chip in a car stop it from being towed ******* morons

 

immoboliser is the radio dumbass, if they steal it basically the thing freezes. the power shorts the circuits......2000,2001 come with immobolizers? ALL CARS COME WITH IMMOBOLIZERS these days.....chip keys advantarge have just recently been introduced on those mercs and bms.....btw, i cant rememba wot a itr door lock looks like, if i can see it, it may have been easy to pick..who cares? immbolisers dont do jack..not when pro hijackers and pick and run masters come....watch out, ppl like that come, ur car is as good as nothing

 

i didnt relly like that thread...go see this one, maybe it might b worth laughin

The immobilizer is what kept my Integra from being driven away also.

 

no. the immobilizer is two parts. one part in the steering column to detect the
chip in the key, and the other is in the ecu that recieves the signal to run the fuel
injectors. all integras after 2000 had the immobilizer. only civics did not come
with them to my knowledge.

before you call someone a dumbass, maybe you should know what you are talking about first

 

was your butt typing? 'cause your mouth should be smarter than that.

This may just turn into another "Punk" story. I would get a hold of him, he could help you out with his findings.

 

yup no sh*t. all you need is a gsr ecu and ignition.

anyhow tell the insurance then why are there so many other type r's being stolen nowadays?

It doesn't sound like his lawyer helped him out too much. Either way he just has to wait for the lame *** insurance company to get around to paying out -- the lawyer will just cost you money.

I would spend the time looking up the laws on insurance companies and see how what the regulations are for payout, etc. and keep mentioning that you are going to complain to the insurance regulatory board, etc. Good luck, there's nothing like getting f'ed twice.

 

wow obviously the insurance guys are a bunch of idiots......if anyone wants something bad enought they can get it........

 

Ask your insurance, if the ITR is impossible to steal than why are so many stolen? Around one a week goes missing on this board alone. The immobilizer will not stop a towtruck or flatbed. And a professional theif can go around it in minutes. If somebody really wants to steal your car it is gone.

 

honda immobilizers are a joke. people are finding new ways to steal hondas every day.

ever notice how easy it is to get a key made of a 2000+ car at acura. all you need is the vin number and id. just imagine if you have an inside connection. any car you want, at anytime. cars are being pushed and flat bedded.

your insurance company is stupid to think the immobilizer actually works. maybe if you were driving the chipped mercedes then i'd question it as an insurance adjuster. but i guess they don't know what the theft rate of any integras are.

 

ITR632, what insurance company do you have? I'm sure noone here wants to use them being that good insurance is the only thing we have when it comes to theft.
