Im sorry i thought i listed it. Its an Auto. Tran. I live on Long Island (NY). Traffic is miserable and i do alot of driving all over the island, so MT wasnt really an option for me. Yeah the Remote Starter was mentioned to me when i was going over the financing a day before i picked up the TSX ( yesterday). i was like i always wanted that , Hell yeah!!! it was on the pricey side but the integrate it into the FOB. if i went aftermarket i think its a seperate remote.

Whimp. I drove from Westchester to Valley Stream for the better part of 2 years with a SSM, and I'm bad in the mornings, so I would ALWAYS hit the Island at the hieght of rush hour!

I still go down there for softball twice a week... seriously though, people in the rest of the country just won't understand how bad traffic on the eastern end of LI is... how/why any of you guys live there is beyond me, put people LOVE the island. Go figure.

The fob is his keyfob, the remote.
He's saying that they integrated his remote start button into his factory remote to lock and unlock the car.

Ok, so hit us with the details on the remote start: Price, install etc., I just got my 05 and I would have gotten that if I knew about it.

Anyone have the Manufacturers Chrome Interior Kit?? Worth the price at $359.00 ????

05/SS-Ebony/AT-Navi SWEEEEEET!!!!!

But then i wonder where the remote button would be

It's not a separate button. It's probably pressing lock-unlock-lock one after the other or a similar button series.

i believe it was around $400 including installation. The way it works on the fob is that you hit the unluck button, then the lock button 3 times and it starts the car automatically. The only catch is then u have to open the car using the actual key in the handle also you loose the valet key because it is the car somwhere so that the car will be able to start ( dont ask me where i havent been able to find it). But whatever, its gonna save me in the summer heat and the winter cold.

You can get a cheaper Remote starter installed but i dont know if it will be integrated. Id rather pay the extra $$ to not have another big clunky FOB on my keychain. As for pics, 1 i dont know how to post them on here ( im a noob when it comes to posting, i just read what others say most of the time) and 2. I dont even know where they installed in (im assuming by the alarm under the car.). The salesmen didnt offer this option to me only the financing woman (i guess she gets a commision on the last minute accessories she sells).

About the metal trim kit, i def want to get it, but you can find them online for like $250-$270. i wouldnt pay the extra $100 for them to put on some stickers for me. i think it will look hot with the little blue light that shines under the radio/navi.
