what can you recommend
need something good and nice
that can reach a reasonable distance
and is it true they can mess up your car.
(i have seemed cars that can not start casuse a car alarm, but maybe it was install wrong or got loose or what ever.)
please advise if you use one

Just got mine installed on my 04" V6 EX-L Accord.
I had the remote starts on almost all my vehicles, great tool.
Python 1400XP Remote Start/Keyless Entry System
I got this one at circuit city (http://http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Python-1400XP-Remote-Start-Keyless-Entry-System-Python-1400XP/sem/rpsm/oid/119439/catOid/-13097/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do)

Works great, unlocks the door and decent range (1/4 mile) I paid about $159 last week (special) but I think the price is about $199 installed.
Also, you'll need a transponder install (about $50 extra)
Good luck and let us know what are your plans.:thumbsup:

I'm also looking for a remote start system, but for an older car. Anything to watch out for (ie, extra parts i'll need, features that won't work on my age car, etc)?
The one recommended above does look pretty decent, but I'm not sure how I'd like the blinking hazards. Also says it'll start your defrost, but mine is a manual dial, so gotta think that's a post-2002 feature (or whatever year manual dials were replaced by full electronic controls).
Thanks in advance.

What do u mean by "blinking hazards"?
Do you mean blinking ligths while the car is on? if so, mine are steady, you can change it.
As far as the defrost, I would stop by CC and ask, I am sure they will set it up for you to work.
I never have used the defrost on any of the remote starts I used in the past, the car works really well w/o it. The car warms really well.
Good luck and let us know what you do.:wave:
doesn't Honda have a oem one for accord.was at dealer and say a remote start on display but not sure what model its for.im sure its for any Honda who wants it
