I have the factory alarm on my car but it didn't come with a remote. Is it possible to get a remote for the factory alarm?

 

yes. i did. just DON'T GO TO CIRCUIT CITY. they are bad. they gave me the cheapest oldest model and when i tried to talk to them about problem with the remote, they said, you have too old of a model, we can't help you. i was like WTF! anyway, yes you can. i have a 96 2.5 btw.

 

They are selling this remote on e-bay;
Keyless Remote
Should I order it and will the dealer be able to program it?

 

yea i would buy it. only some $20. if it doesn't work, give it to me

 

I just called Barranco Acura at my place about the remote control. The guy said it would be around 50-60 dollars, maybe more. I'm taking my car in for oilchange next week and he said that he'll let me know for sure. I have a 97 2.5 TL. I'll let you guys know.

 

I'm going to Park Ave Acura on Monday I'll ask them about as well. Thanks guys

 

I just talked to someone at Park Ave and my car doesn't have a remote. They told me the remote was an accessory that had to be ordered when the car was first purchased. In order to put the remote on now I need the ecu, a bracket blah blah blah. All of this would cost $407. I didn't want to add an after market alarm but for that price I might as well and get one with the automatic start....good thing I didn't buy that remote from ebay I would have been [IMG]c:\my documents\my pictures\furious.gif[/IMG]
