I know this isn't limited to new vehicles, but this question is specifically for new vehicles.
During my research, I'm noticing that some dealers are 'adding on' items that they want to upsell...LoJack, window tint, PPF, etc...
I spoke to a dealer and they said LoJack is one of the things that all cars get once they land on the lot. I'm sure they say that to make it 'harder' to remove if the customer doesn't want it.
I had one dealer explain that they'd include the LoJack for free for 3 years at no cost and sure enough in their final quote the line item for LoJack was removed. Why would a dealer still throw in LoJack if I specifically stated I don't want it installed? Is this something wired into the vehicle wiring harness and a hassle to remove? Is it inline in the OBDII jack and easy to remove?
Now I'm not sure what to think about a vehicle with LoJack wired into the factory harness (likely spliced) and interfering with manufacture wiring. If it is instead installed inline with the OBDII why not just say 'ok, it can be removed' and just disconnect the LoJack device?
