Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the group and just bought a 2003 EX in September. I'd
like to put a remote starter in it for my wife but I don't really
know what brand to go with, whether I can do it myself, etc...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Dave

TRY THE ULTRA START & SECURITY, YOU CAN FIND IT IN THE
INTERNET....

Hey Dave, My name's Dave too. Anyway, I've got a 99 premium and my car starter cost me $280 ($199 for unit and install, $50 for security bypass, 14% tax) all together. I've had no problems at all and I find it to be of great convenience. Having a 1.6 is good for this because we don't have the antitheft chip in our key/ignition, i think the 1.7's do. This would jack the cost up another $50 and you would have to sacrafice a key to the installer. As for interference with the remote, Honda/acura remotes have a saftey feature that dissables the remote when the car is running. This means that when you remote start your car, you have to get into it with a key (and open the trunk with the lever inside). All other times the remote is fine. Another down side is that you have to carry two remotes unless you want to pay $70 to have them programmed into one (i opted just to carry two, i only use it during winter anyway). Hope this helps, Dave.
