Car Alarms: Remote starter in Honda Accord w/security system, dash area, button spring

Question
Thanks for your very fast response.
I looked for a valet switch and cannot find one.
There is no mention of one in the owner's manual either.  I did some seaching on the internet and I'm amazed that there is no mention of people having this problem with the 03-06 Accords. If there's no easy fix for this, I guess I'm just going to live with it.  I will just make sure that the next car I buy does not have factory alarm system in it.  -------------------------

Question -
I have a 2006 Honda Accord.  I installed a remote starter in it,  but if I don't unlock the doors first to disable the security system, it goes off when the car starts.  Do you know of any why to
bypass or integrate the starter into the factory security system ?

Thanks,

Dave


Answer -
Does not sound like the factory alarm here.

The alarm seems to be doing it's job.
At least we know it's installed correctly
which is actually a good thing here.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart
(Go to: www.vehiclewires.com)
for the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until safely removed.

If it does not work out this way,
you will have to replace the system
with one you know how to operate
and what to expect. Don't want to
get stuck in another bad situation.

Let me know what happens.

Answer
I would suggest taking the old alarm and use
iut as a door stop. Get one you know all
about for the best experience on this. Doubtfull
that it's the Accord doing this. It's
the malfunctioning aftermarket system that
needs to go.
