Hi all

Two questions here.

1. Anybody has experience with Directstart cs124 (from www.12voltshop.com). I'm planning on this module and I have seen couple problem with the 423 they're selling, I think velocity motor can help me on this.. ;) )
I'm locate in Toronto, ON, anybody know a cheaper place I can pick this up then 12voltshop? they're selling CAD120 + 25 for the bypass module for 2002 Accord.

2. Now down to the wiring diagram from this site for the 2002 honda accord. it listed as following:

Starter- Cut after Fuse Panel, not at Ignition Switch. (what does this mean? If i'm installing a starter, do I HAVE to connect it after the fuse panel? or I can disregard this comment and do it normally at the ignition harness?)

Ignition 3 - Power this or ABS Light on Remote Starter. (?? is this just the second ignition wire? what exactly does the comment means?)

Tach - Distributor, anyone know where this wire is under the panel? just trying to avoid running another wire from the engine compartment).

Seems like this is a really hard job according to the following link. :) Maybe I should take a trip to a mitchell-on-demand terminal.

Notes:
NOTE: This vehicle has an immobilizer system that needs to be bypassed when
adding remote start. Use DEI part number 555H or 555U. *1 Must interrupt
the wire between the keyswitch and the fusebox, not between the fusebox and
the starter, to keep the check engine light from coming on.    *2 Use
BLACK/ white for lock and GREEN/ red for unlock on LX models without factory
security. These wires are located in a two pin gray connector by the front
of the drivers side fuse box. *3 in a green 20 pin connector. *4 yellow on
the EX and lt. GREEN/ red on the LX *5 located in the same plug as the door
lock wires. Also found in a 14 pin green plug at the drivers fuse box on the

the drivers power window switch, on the LX the wire is at the
keyless/security unit which is attached to the drivers underdash panel.   *11
The tach test connector is located behind the battery on the 4 cylinder, and
on a bracket attached to the drivers side strut tower on the 6 cylinder
motor. The tach test connector is a white 2 pin connector, and may be
covered by a black rubber boot. *12 Located at the first plug on the ECM, it
is a 32 pin gray plug. The ECM plugs can be accessed by pulling up the carpet
on the passenger side of the center console. There are 4 plugs total. *13
On the EX models it is in a green plug next to the passenger side fuse box.
On the LX models it is at the keyless/security unit, if equipped, which is
