Directstart reviews, Accord wiring

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.

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 EX model.   *6 Only available on the EX model. *7 In a green 4 pin connector. *8 Above the hood release in a gray 18 pin connector. On the DX & LX models, also found in a 2 pin connector behind the drivers fuse box. *9 Arms and disarms with the door locks on the EX models. The LX models arm only with the factory transmitter.    *10 On the EX the wire is located at 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 attached to the driver side underdash panel.

I am curious what problems you have seen with the 423?J Rilla
