Liv, ang alam ko, binibigyan tayo ng options on what oil we want to use at the same time, pang advertising na din ng Oil manufacturers. Sa Nissan, may valvoline.

The same na rin siguro sa mga accessories, may genuine na Toyota accessories or you can buy sa loob na rin ng dealer ang Shark, Carryboy na brand...

.

AFAIK since their introduction to the market in 2005, the top-trim level ( G and V variants) of the IMV vehicles never had an immobilizer system installed, at least for the Philippines market. The ones shown in the owner's manual are applicable to other markets and not our's.

Our 2005 CRV is equipped with an immobilizer system. The keys look very different bec. it has very few etching and grooves on it, almost as if its flat. I dont think it can be duplicated and whenver you start the car an indicator key lights up in the console to indicate the communication bet. the computer chip embedded in the key and the computer in the car's system. The IMV Toyotas dont have this.

so confirm our ride is not equipped with immobilizer... i got steering wheel lock (solex) on my ride kaya lang doubt pa din ako how if the carnaper is in well dress and was able to open the door...if he is inside he can't be suspecious na if he is trying to saw the steering wheel lock not to mention our cars is tinted huh! its +1 to carnaper...for me the best talaga mag pa install ng immobilizer...hirap din kasi if we often go places and we left alone our beloved ride parang walang peace of mind...

Why don't you just buy and bring in your own motor oil when you bring the car in for the 1K PMS. You don't need fully synthetic oil naman...

You're absoletely right! there was a shock sensor underneath the dashboard. I tried just like you did and find the best spot to tap, it was on top of the instrument panel about 6 inches away. I did it three times this morning trying to locate the best spot to tap, no matter how hard you tap the right side of the dash board it will not make the alarm go but on the drivers side top of the dash board centering the instrument panel it will, even a slight slap.

It might be the sensor was sitting on a not so steady bracket, same problem with those aftermarket alarms that you will need to mount the shock sensor on a steady fixed metal. I have read this here in the discussion board of "Car Electronics" this link http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15372

no problem. yan din reason why i chose 3m gray sticker: to hide the scratches & to prevent slipping esp. mga shoes ng babae

Just want to vent.

Someone scratched the driver side of my innova from front to back. Mostly not too deep, sinde the scratch disappeared just by rubbing. But at the front and at the back there's a line 12-18 inches long that's still there. Bwisit! Must have happened in SM Mega yesterday, we were parked in the front open parking in Mega B, beside the pedestrian walkway leading to the main entrance.

Is it still possible to remove the scratches without too much cost?
