Dashurik Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi,guys! New to forum,plz be gentle with me! :-) Planning to purchase Jdm model,have seen it yesterday.it's register in uk since 2009. Few things I would like to know: How different is the insurance for Jdm car from uk one?is it more expensive,cheap or the same? How easy to make second key/ duplicate,as car only has one key with immobiliser? No satnav there ,but thinking to install my own in future.Will it be paint in the neck to install one as its a JDM car and I heard it may be not that simple to do?Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 A new key won't be £50 more like £150 to £200. Oem sat nav isn't great so other solutions are better. Tablet or pc based ones are popular. Insurance is usually more expensive for jdms but mine was the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Depends on the insurer, some mainstream ones won't touch an import... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianphampton Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 JDM keys are only available from the Stealers - I was quoted £399 so am surviving on only 1 key . . . . if you find a cheaper / better option, please let me know (I bought a spare key and tried to code it to the car, no success, asked dealer, was told they had to bring a JDM key from Japan and then coding it would be " . . . at least an hour") Insurance prices - the JDM bit adds on only a little bit, which is minor compared to - your postcode / driving history etc. It's a good idea to go to someone who knows what they're doing (Adrian Flux or Sky on here or others used to dealing with high performance cars - especially if you intend any mods, you do NOT want to find they can't handle an UpRev or other mod halfway through your policy time When I changed my ICE system I got them to put another 12v power socket in the cubby, ideal for the satnav. (IMHO - it's better to change the ICE as frequency shifters are a pain, and if you pick the right stereo you can get bluetooth to your phone built in and don't need the Zed bluetooth adaptor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
