Theft Deterrent Differences ??
Since the Enhanced Theft Deterrent Package is included with the 2LT & 3LT, what anti-theft protection comes with the 1LT?
And what is enhanced with the upgrade?

......not sure what else there is might be considered "enhanced". Some sort of OnStar type tracking and/or immobilization without actually needing to have the OnStar service maybe?

Captain Obvious says:
It stops people from stealing it.
Other features not clearly mentioned and needing to be investigated:
The origin of the air in the tires (Canadian?)
The speed of light coming from the headlamps
The number of glass fibers embedded in the body
Until I get answers, I'm not buying it!

I believe enhanced notifies OnStar but they haven't really explained it. According to the link below, in also looks at someone towing it or trying to steel the wheels. I'm assuming it's similar.

So the enhanced theft deterrent system on 2 & 3LT has the following main 2 features over 1LT trim:
- tilt sensor, should someone try to tow the car or jack up to steal the wheels.
- interior motion detector, should the windows or top left open and someone wants to grab something from inside of the car.
- tilt sensor, should someone try to tow the car or jack up to steal the wheels.
- interior motion detector, should the windows or top left open and someone wants to grab something from inside of the car.

If the top is on, and the windows are open, the interior sensor, for reach-ins, etc., is active.
Someone has found that there is a tiny switch on the top of the windshield, driver's side, where the front of the roof attaches, that enables/ disables the interior sensor so that it is off when the roof is off, and on when the roof is on. It can be overridden.
