I definitely have the immobilizer. when i unlock my car with the remote, i have roughly 2 mins to start the car. If i waited over the period, the car will lock itself. Even if I have the doors open when i insert the key try to start it up it won't, no cranking whatsoever. I will have to manually press the unlock button on the remote once more, then the car will start. It's strange, i dont see many cars have this... when my family drives the car they always call me up and say to me the car wont start. I've seen this happen when i went o canadian tire, guy had no idea how to start my car lol.
