remote start, 2010 accord?

The truth is most pros don't have loud radios, in fact mine's never on, Google maps on my Android which is hard wired into a Brodit holder in the car giving me traffic etc. through the Bluetooth, a GPS camera alert plus phone calls, who needs a radio? Enough distractions anyway.

Haha... truth! I actually have a very nice setup in my car that has the ability to be extremely loud but I have it tuned 100% for quality so its barely turned up (sub wise). The only time I ever listen to it somewhat loud is in the summer with the windows down when I'm cruising around enjoying the weather.Kenny

You're obviously much, much younger, Kenny.

that is true, in my own car its a SQ setup and my daily listening volume is never over 30 percent.Ted

Let's be honest my grandchildren are now teenagers, I lost touch with "the music scene" about 10 years ago, I don't recognise any one on MTV bass any more, all my collection is on the phone, I only ever had the radio on for traffic info and that's sooo outdated now. Only thing I did was to chuck in a top end but old Alpine and throw away the Nissan rubbish in the front doors and replace with spacers and MB Quart speakers.

haha. I don't listen to my music very loud either. I have a SQ setup as well but the music is audible outside of the car even with some deadening material in the doors and the volume at like 10-15 (about a loud speaking voice). Seems to mostly come from the 6.5" speakers in the doors. In any case, I'm thinking I'll be OK with loosing the rear defrost. That's where I'm currently leaning. By the way, could you do something similar with a relay to manage the rear defrost (versus the radio)? IE Use the status to ensure 12V is applied to the rear defrost electronics?

didn't you say earlier that you only had 1 accessory wire at the ignition switch? If so that is probably running both your HVAC and radio. So eliminating that will eliminate your heat from turning on during remote start...Kenny

Initially I assumed there was only one accessory at the ignition, but was incorrect. There are indeed two. I plan to disconnect the second accessory and my understanding is I'll loose the radio (perfect) and the rear defrost will also become a casualty (not preferred but acceptable).

You can still do the rear defrost thus:- Find the wire going to the HRW that goes to 12V+ when the HRW is activated, cut it then: timed aux out put or linked to RS or GWR to relay 85. Constant 12V+ fused at 20 amps to 86 and 87. Car side of cut wire to 87a. HRW side to 30.

Sorry, what does HRW stand for? Is this 12v wire likely to be in either the passenger or driver fuse box? I'm going to break out the service manual and see if I can track this down.
