Hi all,

I'd like to install the remote starter on my 04 MDX and just wondering if I'm able to utilize the factory alarm with an after market remote starter ?

If I connect the Arm and Disarm wire to an after market remote starter module, would this enable my factory alarm at all ?

Thank you for all reply.

Yes, that's no problem.

The Acura's arm/disarm wires are in the passenger side fuse box.

A negative pulse (from your remote starter) to the arm wire will lock the doors, and arm the factory alarm.

A negative pulse (from your remote starter) to the disarm wire will unlock the doors (all of them at once), and disarm the factory alarm.

P.S. Honda factory remotes don't work when the ignition is on. Make sure to get a remote starter that also has lock and unlock buttons, and then you can just set the Acura remotes aside and use the new remote.

If you did remote start only, you'd have to open the door with the key whenever the remote starter is on.

Thank you for your response,

I'm planning to use the Python 950 for remote starter, do I have to use any external relay for anti grind or starter kill ?

Also, I'm planning to use the ADS-TBSL HA from idatalink for immobilizer bypass and I also found the 556UW from DEI, please be advice which one work best for 04 MDX ?

Thanks again for your value response,

If you have a spare key the 556U will work fine(it will require one and you loose it for good). If not go Idatalink(good product and works well)...

Thank you Mike,

I don't want to loose a key for sure or at least to be safe. I'd go with Idatalink.
