Does my 97 Accord EX have OEM Keyless? (Picture)
Going by these pictures, do you think this car has factory keyless installed? Does Honda even make the remotes for the 5th gen anymore?
I was told if there is a blue box with wires that look factory tapped, the car has the keyless control unit installed and just needs fobs. Anyone know for sure? I searched, but how are the fob's programmed? Thanks!

alarm system rather then a stand alone keyless like the 98 LX could
be installed.
Also the EX wagon had its own keyless entry.

My 96 accord ex had stock keyless entry. I got the remote control from ebay and follow the instruction and it did the job great. lock and unlock. but then I realize I was driving a honda so I got a DEI alarm system righ away.

I would just install an after market model and be happy with it. Hey, why not include autostart? Got it (viper alarm) in mine, great during the winter and hot summer days.
