Default IS250 2008 Security

I am changing insurance companies and they need to know all of the security features on my IS250. The only thing I could find is "Theft-deterrent and engine immobilizer, with in-key transponder".

Is there anything else I am missing? Did a search on the forums and didn't get too many hits on this.

thanks

I have Allstate and I get a discount for many things like:

-Anti-theft (Immobilizer)
-Passive Restraint
-ABS
-Traction Control
-Front / Side Airbags

I believe they all fall into the safety/security category. All of those discounts add up to around $50, your insurance agent should be able to pull up the features your car has when he adds it to your policy. Now if you have lo-jack or something similar installed you should see a pretty bid difference...

Ok thanks. They already have most of those listed, I was just curious on any other above and beyond security. Didn't know if the key FOB helped in the capacity.

Its pretty much useless. No motion sensors. No glass sensors. Someone can break the glass and nothing will happen. You have to open the door from the inside when it is locked to get the alarm to go off.
