Car Alarms: deactivating a auto-mate security system, dash area, honda accord ex


Question
Hi, I am the owner of a 94 honda accord ex.  It has an Auto-mate 3 security system on it but I loss the remote.  Now the alarm has been activated and don't now how to shut it off.  I was able to take the fuse for the siren out but the starter is still not turning because the system is still activated.

The dealer say is an after market product and there is nothing they can do about it.

Can you help me out.

Answer
Ok, don't panic. Try this.
Look under the dash area, maybe to the left
foot area in the plastic, for a button/switch
that does not look like the OEM factory equipment.

Now put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the button until
the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area comes on solid.

This should be valet. This overides
the starter kill relay in the alarm harness,
and returns the car back to disarmed mode.

The only thing that will work now on your system,
is the keyless entry if installed.

Just Repeat these steps to rearm your system.
I would definately get another system at this point
though since your car is among the easiest
to steal.

That should do it.

Let me know what happens.
