for those with 08+ accords

well i thought i would share this with fellow 08/9/10 accord owners.

This is a fortin wiring diagram with pictures. I will end up posting many more sometime soon.

for my own car, i used the honda-sl3 and the can-sl2, did the install within 2.5 hours. For the girlfriends car, i didnt want her to spend much so i did it the hard way, used the key-override-all, and wired everything hardwire. This took forever since i did door locks, disarm, trunk, all triggers, hood, window rollup/down, defrost etc. This car took approx almost 5 hours for me. An easy car to do, but i just took my time taking pics etc.

and yes i did go into the doors, but it was real easy for that.

couldnt agree more howie!  trust me, i had a hand full of PITA units from china. I had my fun with them and never will I touch those again. Now its just DEI, Compustar, ultrastart or autopage all the way.

btw merry christmas to all, wishing you the very best for you and your families.

hey el ranchero, well autostarts are pretty much layed out as alarms. There are wires for start, ignition(s), accessories, parking lights, tach, door triggers, etc. If you have the wiring diagram to the car, its more or less just finding the wire, testing if its the correct one, and connecting the approriate wire from the alarm or starter to the car. Now with that being said, most if not all of the cars now contain some sort of theft detterance, such as Transponder key. In order to "override" the system, you need a bypass module which mimicks the code stored on the keys. The new Domestic cars now utilize a multiplex system that uses a MUX wire. Because technology grows fast, higher trim levels of certain cars contain factory alarms. If you install a remote start, the car will think its being stolen since igniton is powered, so you need to use factory arm/disarm outputs from the alarm/rs and connect them to the car.

if you want to read more about bypasses and what they can offer, check out www.ifar.ca www.idatalink.com www.bypasskits.com

those are some of the popular companies for bypasses that most intallers would say they can rely on. You can download wiring information to see how they are wired, and how they work. I would say over 25years of installing, some has changed for sure, but it all follows the same principle. sorry if i confused you more. maybe howie can be more of a help. hes been in the industry way before i was born!

merry xmas to all again !
