Yep, insurers know about the factory fitted immobiliser, the car (2004 Vauxhall Agila) can only be started with the key. I believe the battery operated remote is purely for the convenience of locking all doors at once - I can do that by the simple expedient of quarter turning the key in the lock twice. O0 :-))
 

My 2004 Vauxhall Signum, should be similar tech to your Agila I reckon, doesn't do the 'quarter turn unlock' business if I've locked it like that with the key. It fires off TWO alarms, and won't start at all!

I had to go the whole hog, buy the new key AND have it 'connected' to the car's systems by the VM dealer.  :((

I'm not sure why that should be. The Agila is based on the Suzuki Wagon R but with v/hall Corsa engine.
Perhaps that has some bearing on it?

That's all right, Mr Ryan. My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on Playmate of the Month.

Almost, but I won't argue the point even though I have two of them.....  :-)

Hi having sold my Honda CR-V I have several new unused key batteries for anyone that wants them.  No charge.

Well, I think you have just simply struck a chord.

Lose your keys on a modern car and the consequences are very expensive.

I think we can all identify with that.
