Re: Anyone put Lo-Jack on your HCH?
With the type 6 immobilizer system on the 2006 civic the only way the vehicle is likely to be stolen is if the key was left in the ignition or the car was towed off (both not entirely unlikely).
That having been said the Lo-Jack system is pretty cool in that your car can be located within about an hour by a participating police agency.
I bet the police would be very unhappy to find out a finance company was using them as a repo agency.
Actualy police agencys require a vehicle to be reported stolen to activate a Lo-jack. In the event of a no-pay situation this would require all other recovery efforts to be exausted including bank notification, repo attempts etc. Now if the vehicle was fraudulently purchased, that may be a different story.
There is a system out there in use that will disable the ignition of a no-pay. I'm not sure of the name of this company because I have not encountered it myself, only heard about it.
