POTENTIAL NEW CUSTOMERS: Tell us when you're going to want your next quote and we'll remember so you don't have to.

 

Hi, did you know there are two ways you can schedule a call back from us via our website?

 

We know some members forget to include Chris Knott when they're looking for car insurance quotes even though they fully intended to. We've fixed that for you with these two options:

 

On our brief web form you can log your renewal month with us NOW and we'll call you at the right time to offer a quote - then you don't have to remember to call us! Give us your renewal month now to put the ball in our court and guarantee that you'll get a CK quote when the time comes (even if it's 11 months away) - https://www.chriskno...ote/?ref=renlog. Obviously, you don't need to do this if you're already insured with CK as we'll automatically invite your renewal about 21 days early.

 

You can also schedule a quote call back for any time in the next 3 days by using our web widget that pops up when you're on certain pages of our website such as https://www.chriskno..._insurance.html. You'll be able to choose the day and the 15-minute time slot that suits you. You can also use it to trigger an instant call from us (well, within 27 secs or so). Great huh?

 

Please remember to mention this forum when you speak to us so we can make sure we quote you under our special car clubs/enthusiasts facility.

 

If you'd prefer to call us you can on 0800 917 2274.

 

best,

Nick

It would be helpful for a start if you, and other insurers would recognise the Autowatch Ghost as a valuable car security tool - there is a reason that nearly everyone here has fitted one and I struggle to understand why this is not recognised by insurers?

 

Come back with an answer to that one and we can all start talking mate.

The reason insurance companies don't recognise AWG as it can't get Thatcham approval due to the Bluetooth pairing to Iphones to disarm it.

Guys, Thatcham testing and approval methods are based on old technology (lots of wires), not new CANBUS technology. They have no procedures to test AWG type systems at this time, hence they will not give approval. BTW, the OEM Alarm / Immobilisers are Thatcham approved, yet we all have to spend more money to secure our vehicles with systems such as Ghost. A little ironic don’t you think.

Insurance Co acknowledge our RSs have a Thatcham approved alarm/immobiliser system.

You only have to look at the vulnerability with the latest car with there advanced door opening systems to understand the problem with having an immobiliser system which can be disarmed via a local device such as a smartphone app via Bluetooth.

Btw AWG is wired into the canbus using wires so no different to any other immobiliser system.

Dell,

Agreed.

Not sure of the value of Thatcham Approved, when any car now with keyless systems is so vulnerable. To be honest the discounts for having Thatcham approved immobilisers is next to nothing anyway.
My preference is prevention; and to my limited knowledge, no AWG equipped car has been stolen (unless towed).

The App for AWG is optional, not a necessity, and as stated, why would you use it, when Bluetooth is notoriously unsecure.

When Thatcham test a security system they do it without the keys/remotes in there possession.

With the onset of keyless entry/start system which are now compromise by using a relay device.

As for why people would want to pair there phone to the AWG you only need to see the postings of "Why can't i get my phone to do this/that in my new RS".
