Hello and Happy New Year,

I have TSX 2010 and recently installed a laser jammer and it's wired to ignition. I am thinking about ordering a remote engine starter from Acura dealer and have them install it. By any chance, do you guys know if there will be a problem with installing a remote engine starter since the laser jammer is already wired to the ignition? I have called Acura and spoke with tech and advisor, but seems like they have no clue on this issue. Thank you guys.

 

I can't think of any problem that would cause a remote start to not work. I have my radar detector wired to ignition as well.

Just wondering why you prefer Acura remote start? Maybe because you can incorporate everything on the keyfob? Do you know that with the Acura remote start the engine will shut down when you unlock your doors? I would suggest getting aftermarket remote starter if that is an option. I've heard a lot of complaints about that Acura remote start system.

 

Thanks for your reply. I just don't feel safe for aftermarket remote starter. I didnt know that Acura remote start had a lot of problems. I have searched the forum and did not find anything.

 

It's not so much about problems it's just that it doesn't have the range as aftermarket does. It shuts down when you unlock then you have to start the car again. Which both drawbacks defeats the main purpose of remote start. What good does remote start do when you have to be a few feet away from your car to be able to start it then when you unlock it shuts down. Doesn't really make sense to spend for it. There are very reputable aftermarket remote starters available with 1 mile range.

 

Thank you. Would you recommend me some of the aftermarket?

 

Viper and Python from DEI are good. Take a look at viper 5901 and python 991. Both of them are the same system. Just decide which remote looks better to you.

 

why cant the after market security/remote starts have the flip key too =(
