So I am taking the plunge and buying the TL. I got the car I want for the lease price I want so I am very happy.

Now there are only threemods that I HAVE to do to this car:
Tint
Spoiler
Remote Start

I've had remote start for year, I love it and I need it.

So has anyone installed a remote start in their TL yet? I"ve always done the installations myself using DEI sheets, but the TL seems like it might gimme a hard time with the immobilizer.

 

galeforce installed it on his TL, see him.

 

You have to essentially disable your immobilizer.
So if your car gets stolen don't come here to complain ;-)

 

From what I read you do not have to disable the immobilizer, Honda makes a $40 module.

And no, if I wouldn't come here to complain, but thanks for letting me know

AcuraTLjaTT559, thanks for the tip, I found some good info in one of his threads

 

I had mine installed by the dealer and it works with the factory remote FOB.

 

Now that's a nice feature, you get to retain the "memories" as well as the ability to lower the windows. I assume you have to hit "Lock-unlock-lock" to start your car?

The only problem with using the factory remote is that it doesn't have that long of a range.

 

I have no idea who makes mine... Prestige maybe? They gave me a new keyfob and I was like, "oh hell no," because it was the disgusting, fat, green carbon fiber keyfob. I could have spent a little more and gotten that one with the LCD readout but I had them take the part that needed the fob out and let me use my fob. I just hit lock 3 times and it starts. Can even hit unlock right after the 3rd lock to unlock the drivers door before the car starts so I don't have to use the keyhole
