Not sure what kind of alarm is on my car?

I got a car as of yesterday (I'm financing, it's a 2014 Honda Civic LX sedan) and when I set up the car insurance, it asked if I have an active anti theft alarm or passive anti theft alarm. My boyfriend works at a used car dealership named carmax and he works with cars all the time. So I asked him what kind if alarm it has and he said active. And someone at his work said the same thing too. So that's the option I chose. About an hour later I was thinking about it and decided to see if that's actually the type of alarm it had, so I searched Google and couldn't really find anything. So I texted the sales guy who sold me the car and he told me it was passive. So I called the insurance policy and had them change it. But my boyfriend is absolutely insisting that it is active.

Do you have to push an alarm button or the lock button twice on the keyfob to set it (active) or does the alarm set itself after you lock the doors (passive)?

I'm not sure, I don't have the car yet because it still has to go to the DMV and stuff.

Your car has a passive system.

I just tell them it is the manufacturesrs standard alarm

  • Not sure what to get for my first car? So I'm a senior girl in high school who is about 5'4" and my parents are buying me a car for college. Now I can't get anything fancy like an audi or BMW, but I can get something like honda, hyundai, mazda, ford, etc. I want a car that is fuel efficient and looks good. I don't really want a muscle car or a super sporty car. I'm not sure what exactly what to get.

Please help i don't what else to do, any suggestions would be helpful.
  • O3 honda cbr954rr, trying to find certain bolts- not sure what they're technically called? Looking for new ones and having trouble finding them online. Not sure how to word the search. Replacing head gasket. It's the main bolts that hold the head to the engine block. There's 10 of them.Talked to a honda dealer and they said its just called washer bolts but cost $75.+ tax through them. When i search washer bolts even adding engine, head, cylinder head etc. Still find nothing. Anyone know where or how to find them?
  • I have an eye on a few bikes, just not sure so I need some advice? My first VEHICLE was a Ninja Kawasaki 500r. I've been riding that since I was 16 and i'm now 20, so for four years. I've been looking at both a Ninja Kawasaki ZX -6r and a -10r. also looking at a Honda CBR1000RR. If you have any suggestions please comment. P.S. I'm looking for a brand new Motorcycle, I put way too much money into my current bike for what it's worth.
