Well, My insurers just had the cheek to say that the alarm fitted to my car as a Thatcham Cat 1>2 wasnt listed on Thatcham's Database.

I managed to find it on their current list of approved devices! Now I guess my insurance hunt is going to get more interesting!!

got email saying my car has fiat rolling code transponder immobiliser..... what the hell is that

rolling code,if i remember correctly means the code changes to stop code grabbers getting the code from your alarm/immob.the transponder is the thing inside your key that tells the immob' its the right key to start the car

so it dont have thatch then? pooooo

had a look on the thatcham site http://www.thatcham.org/ and i think the problem comes from the fact our immobs seem to be delisted.AFAIK the manufacturer must pay thatchem fees every year to keep the thatcham approval,so this will be why older models lose their listing.i know this as i had a foxgaurd Cat1 alarm and as the company went bankrupt i had to fit another Cat1 for the insurance,nothing wrong with the alarm but it lost its thatcham approval as there was no one paying the fees.direct line may be following the listing a bit too closly cosidering its OE fit

To be fair, I think slagging of customer service is wrong in this instance. They are there to resolve issues with Fiat or the dealer network, and the operator should have put you in touch with a dealer service department who you could have phoned. Your insurance company is plainly incompetant as the immobiliser is a standard factory item, end of story

.....but slagging off they need.

I've filed the same complaint twice because they 'have no record of the first complaint' after the call centre was moved (to somewhere in India I believe) and still haven't called me back to follow up the complaint as promised.
