Hi does anyone know if the engine immobilizer is a standard feature of the US 07 or 08 vibe? I don't see it be listed as one nor an optional feature here:http://www.pontiac.com/vibe/bu...ash=YHowever when I head to the Canadian vibe site, it is a standard feature:http://gm.ca/gm/english/vehicl...tionsAppreciate any help.

is the the feature that shuts the engine off if its broken into or something? Ive never heard of it on vibes/trix's, some have the "panic" button on the key fob. hopefully some people can enlighten us

Yes it is the device or system that shuts the engine off when the car is broken into. Here is a certified third party installer of after market electronic immobilizer and how it works:http://www.powerlock.com/cars.phpAccording to this pdf file, the 08 and 09 vibe sold in Canada has this as a standard feature:http://www.ibc.ca/en/Insurance...E.pdf

well the pdf says 08 and up so i dont thinkthe 07's would. that feature must be a canadian thing unless its on the 09 vibes in the US, all we got was a blinking red light on the HU and/or a panic button from my knowledge. I bet some other CAN members will know though.

I have an 04 with the optional Theft-Deterrent System (pg 2-13 OM). It sounds alarm, flashes lights and locks doors if forced entry or battery discount is detected. I thought it also deactivated the engine, but I don't see that listed.
