Thanks, and how much did the alarm cost?

Re: Speed Sensing door locks.

This is yet another feature that I wish the Forester had.

P6500. I could have gotten other brands at a fraction of that cost but none of the aftermarket installers could assure me that they could program their products with the immobilizer. The less expensive alternative meant having to disable the alarm via a separate remote, then disable the immobilizer via the car key switch before starting the car. Hassle. Having MI install an authorized brand was the simpler but more pricey option.

Thanks again.

Best part is, the alarm switch is programed with the original keys so there's no need for an additional remote control.

I'm going to look into this. Thanks.

I text my agent regards to the alarm He did say that the doors will lock upon starting the car. Will update with price tomorrow.

I got this from a local seller:

Only con so far - it's a dust magnet. if you just came from somewhere dusty, you'll see it on the mat. You might want to get the 3M mats which "absorbs" the dust/sand etc. and you don't see it.

Hi April_Ryan,

May I know where you got your all-weather mats? And how much? Thanks!
