as for hondas etc with immobilizers, it's pretty much a gimick because all you need to do is plug in a box to the odb ii port and use a screwdriver in the keyhole, or a master key
to sum it up, most likely if they want something in your car, they will get it. if they actually want the car, they won't have an easy time starting and driving away with it, but nothing stops them from pulling it up onto a flatbed tow truck. unless you airbag the car and drop the frame on the ground

exactly....if a thieve wants something bad enough they will get it...just got to make it harder for them and hopefully stop them...I would love to have LowJack here....and have someone that creats a silent alarm that vibrates your keychain up to...5 miles...that would be pretty nice

Just to let you all know, I recieved an additional 15% off toward comprehensive, which in my case was less than $20 per 6 months.
Don't buy Lo-Jack for the insurance savings, buy it for the security of making your car easier to recover if it's stolen.

LoJack worked for me. I had LoJack installed in my 2000 corolla. It was stolen one day in NJ and I called to report it stolen. The LoJack was activated and my car was found in 5 hours. The signal was picked up by a police officer in another town. He drove into my town and found it. He radioed my town so they can take over.
Bad News: By the time they found it, they stripped the entire audio system and took my neons. But they did leave one interior speaker and the headunit.
Good News: In the process of trying to find the car, the cop found the thieves who were in the middle of taking my headunit out. The cops found them and they were both arrested. Both had outstanding warrents in two different towns. Needless to say, they got locked up for a while.
Even better news: Insurance covered everything that was taken from the car. Everything that was bolted down was replaced..even the neons! Only thing they didn't cover was my whole collection of CD's. Note to the wise..keep a receipt of everything you put into your car. I had to go back to the store who installed all my stuff in order to get copies of all my receipts.

7 dollars over 12 months = 84 dollars. =D
but i've been looking into lo jack as well. i plan on getting it. couple that with my matrix 3.5. my lo jack will cost me about 550. thats with life time guarantee and an early warning system. early warning rocks. once you're vehicle is stolen (knock on wood), it will notify you (through a call, text, email...) that your car has been moved without authorization and asks if you would like to notify the police.
this works through some kind of transmitter. one is on the car, and its 'partner' is with you on your key ring. if the on on the car doesnt detect yours, then thats when it makes the call. EARLY WARNING ROCKS!
oh and..550 is pretty cheap. my work sells this for about 1000 installed. (i work at lexus)
