Long story short. But after being a PITA I finally have the remote start wired up and working in my wife's 2009 MDX- EXCEPT - once remote started the factory fob no longer works (the system does not add a second thought to the keychain, it uses the factory OEM one).
The work around for this is to splice into the ignition power wire to the remote keyless entry module. Problem. Is, I can't find it!
Based on eBay, I think I know what it looks like.. but the TL's are under drivers dash, but didn't see it. The first gens are behind the glove box (sort of) but found nothing there.
Anyone know where to find it? My wife had errands to run so I threw her car back together....maybe it's in the passenger kick panel?

That's how my MESA remote start works.
When I press the MESA's lock + unlock the MDX doors lock, the engine starts, and the OEM fob becomes disabled.
I press the MESA's unlock the doors unlock and the OEM fob will work.
All my OEM fob ever did was lock, unlock, windows up & down.
The MESA has never operated the windows, because I bought the cheapest one available.

Which is sort of what I'm trying to avoid. The reason for going with this particular RS was to keep the original FOB - now, I just need to figure out where the keyless entry module is and I can get it buttoned up and working as it should.
