This is true, however, from my experience in Massachusetts, you will get the
insurance discount if just about any anti-theft system better than the Club
is used.
Reminds me of a former co-worker, who used to use one of those original
devices that locked the steering wheel to the brake pedal on his company
car, and we used to kid him that that thing was useless and a waste of
money.
His Celica GTS was stolen from a shopping mall and recovered a few weeks
later. The car was found completely stripped including wheels, tires,
engine, transmission, stereo, interior, hood, doors, fenders, etc. but the
club thing was still installed! At least the thieves had a sense of humor.
