I've done a few remote starters on 4 door 2008 Accords and the unlock feature would not work while the engine is running remote started when connected as described here. I figured out how to do it though if anyone is interested. It's pretty simple. No need for a door lock interface module or anything like that. Just wired differently. I'm a tech at a Honda dealer and I install Audiovox Pursuit PRO-9056 units for the dealership with a simple key-in-box bypass. I only do maybe one a week so I'm not as much of a remote start expert as most of you so let me know if I'm doing something wrong here. Anyway, I split the unlock signal wire from the RS unit into two with a diode/splitter(included with RS unit) and connect them to brown(as mentioned above) which is pin 29 at the power window master switch connector and also to white which is pin 31 at the same connector. Lock is just Orange(pin 28) as stated above. I send a double pulse for lock and unlock. Hope this helps someone. I'd like to think I was able to contribute here because I've learned a lot from this forum.

well i installed an autopage rs-1000 into the 08 Coupe and i did the same thing you did with the door locks, but i need to know how to disarm it when it remote starts. right now i have to press unlock then remote start the car otherwise it would set off the honda alarm. from what i understand is that the white disarm wire needs a double pulse but my autopage FAD is a single pulse. thank you..

I don't think it can be done as I described without a double pulse.

Couldn't you set the r/s to unlock the doors before remote starting then have it re-lock them after starting?

yeah it doesn't have that option either.
