I ordered a limited that’s already made instead of picking my accessories because I didn’t want to wait months to get a customized one. It’s supposed to be here by the end of the month. The dealer said it has a few more upgrades than we were discussing, so it’s a good value. With so many numbers and options floating around in my head that day, I really didn’t think there was any concern and that I was getting a few more options, so that can’t be bad.
I found my sticker online and see it has an “Anti-Theft Alarm & Immobilizer System”. From the other posts I could find in the forums, am I correct that a lot of people suggest having it removed? Im going to use StarLink anyway so is the immobilized even necessary? I wasn’t made aware of it being installed when I signed the form at the dealer. Is it something that the dealer installs when it arrives, or does it come from the factory. Thank you for your input!
