i bought my car in march end..and that time i didnt hear anything like this. |
Maruti started selling iCATS cars only by May / June. Some time in April/May, when I was researching, they used to give two quotes on their sites for cars with and without the immobiliser. By the time I purchased it, it was a standard feature, and all maruti sites gave prices of cars ONLY with the iCATS feature.
If your dealer gave you an anti-theft system with an immobiliser, it is likely that your car did not have one ex-factory. My dealer said that the higher end systems are no use for me since the only additional features are movement sensors and immobilisers.
Only way to know if your car has an immobiliser is to look at the plastic side of the key - if it is big (approx 2 inches), it does come with an immobiliser ex-factory. Anything around 1 inch is a normal key.
