I've done my share of remote start, keyless entry and alarm installs, but coming back into this realm
overwhelms me now as I am tackling on my wifes 2009 Acura TSX. All she wants is a basic remote
start.
Now I know, based on past experience, that once a car is running, it renders factory keyless entry useless.
For this reason, DEI (and other manufacturers) produce remote start and keyless entry combo units, so
once a car is running, it can be opened via remote.
I picked up an Avital 4103 model, but am debating about this new Avital 4113. The 4113 is a one button
remote start, with unlock feature (while the car is running). Problem is, it doesn't have lock or trunk pop
features.
Anyway to rig a remote starter to continue using the factory remote to lock/unlock door and open trunk?
Also: These news cars use very low-voltages in their systems. To bypass the transponder, I am taking a
crack at the Xpresskit PKALL unit. I previously used the DEI 555 bypass kit, which required vehicle owners
to give up one of their keys to activate transponder/keysense security. Is the PKALL unit popular?

The pkall is very popular and works well. Your best bet would be a bypass from idatalink that controls convenience features(doorlocks, factory alarm disarm,rearm, trunk release, brake pedal status, hoodpin, tach) as well as data immobilizer, so you are not running wires into the door. I've installed many of both 4103 and 4113. They are the same brainbox and wires, the 4113 is just meant to be a basic add on giving you the 1 button remote. You can always program a 4 button remote to it and hook up the door lock wires and trunk release so it can be a 4103. Welcome to the forums, if you have questions, you are in the right place.
