Remote starter with factory keyless remote??
Does anyone know if this is possible or exists? I'm thinking about eventually geting a remote starter but dont want 2 remotes. I know other car manufacturers have the option where they replace the original keyless remote with a new one that supports the added remote started.
Any thoughts?
Any thoughts?

Acura in canada has an OEM optional 2way remote starter. But the range is no where near the aftermarket units(Compustar,Autostart).If you want to Use an aftermarket unit and retain your OEM alarm functions then look at getting an OEM integration unit like the Idatalink.I personally have it and installed it and it works like a dream. It does immobilizer bypass,door locks,trunk,OEM alarm,Tach signal,Hood pin(no need to have wire pass thru firewall). take a look for youself http://www.idatalink.com

The new 09 TL OEM 2way starter installed price is $875 CND, i would say the price for 3G would be very close around there. maybe its a bit cheaper since its the outgoing model. Give a local acura dealer a call to see if they have it or not. If they dont then call up your closest canadian dealer and see how much they want for the kit.

yes it is possible, and I did one myself on my 06 tl. like above post stated you will need to get a bypass, then you can get any remote start add-on.

the way the add on's works on factory remotes is quite simply. the triger connects to a parking light or door locks.
then you program the remote start on how many clicks it will take to activate it. the way I had it on mine is on 3rd press it would activate remote start.
hope this helps a little.
good luck

Like anybody would just hop up and drive away?
Or does it still need your key in the ignition to unlock and unblock the steering wheel and engine immobilizer?

Yes it is very possible.
Any Directed Electronics or Compustart system will work fine. The installer just needs to diode isolate the lock wire and wire it to the activation input (white/blue) on any DEI model. Depending on how they set it up it can remote start the car by hitting the lock button a few times.
You will have barely any range on it though, I say scrap the factory remote and use the aftermarket one.
Installing on a 6 spd is just like installing on an auto. They can diode isolate the clutch wire with the status output wire (blue) so that it will start without bypassing the clutch. Just don't leave it in gear because unlike subarus, i dont think acuras have a factory neutral safety switch

When you install a remote start on the 3G, you first have to unlock the doors and then start the car, otherwise the factory alarm will go off. You can then relock the doors after the car starts.
The factory alarm arms when the doors are locked. Starting the car with a remote starter triggers the alarm. I have yet to see a solution to bypassing the factory alarm with a remote start on the 3G.

trew is right. if you are using factory alarm. you have to disable the factory alarm to activate the remote circuit. and yes once started you can lockit via keyvob.
if you want to retain the car locked on its own with remote start. with out extra clicks with remote then one will need to get aftermarket alarm with remote start and tie that into the factory one.

Thanks for great replies. Thats a lot of info and now it seems like I have some decisions to make. I really want to keep the car stock (for now since I just bought it) so those options sound alright..except for the open the doors, start the car, then lock the doors (I can imagine I will forget to relock the doors at least once)
I will wait to do anything for now. Maybe go through a winter and see what its actually like. Although I can only imagine it will be nice and cool..as usual.

If that is the case, then someone installed your remote starter wrong...... Factory disarm wires can be used to disarm the factory alarm via the control board inside the drivers door. You shouldn't have to unlock anything... at all

PITA to run wires into the door panel, but I am going to have to do that

do not limit your self of thinking that you will have to go inside the door panel.

not at all, and no you do not even have to go inside that panel. get the proper bypass module and it will tie into the factory for you. look for CAN Bus bypass
