Is there a DYI guide to installing a remote starter on a 2000 automatic civic? Or is it not very difficult? Also looking for brand reccomendations, nothing too fancy.

 

check it out i got an alarm with almost all the bells and whistles for 288 intsalled at circuit city the only reason i dont have the remote start it came with is cause its a manual. the brand is code alarm. and since i've had it installed nobody has even attempted breaking into my civic. it is also a paging alarm. only drawback is no shock sensor

 

Yep, good time of the year. A lot of sales for installed remote starts for about $80 and up. I have Crimestopper on my 535, works great. Alittle too good, it's a stick (e brake doesn't work) and I sent it down the road two summers ago when I first got it, hit my Civic then hit a tree three houses down very scarey and immediatley disconnected. The power locks work great though.

Had to look up the site- designtech has a site for wire colors which I used to install my kids on his 97 Blazer. If I had to do it again, I would just have it installed. Not hard, just not worth saving $30.

 

is there anyway to add remote start to the honda remote? i already have a remote for my EX and would hate to have to carry two around. what a pain.

you can get a universal remote and program it with the remote starts IR freqencys as well as the hondas

 

check ebay for viper 791xv, clifford 3.5rs, and python 881xp. all made by dei, installation on all 3 is the same, only difference is led style, internal programmin and features, and remote covers. viper has a dark blue remote, clifford has a carbon fiber remote, and python has a black metallic remote. all responder technology with lcd remote with remote start.

 

Cool ... so the wiring colors is on designtech ... I was hoping to be able to do it for around $150 tops, I will look on ebay later for the models Outxider suggested. Thanks
