Hello all,
I just bought an 03 Accord and with it came a DEI remote start that the owner never installed. He didn't have the wiring sheet for the car and never bothered to have it installed.
I've done a few remotes starts on my company pickups but not on any recent vehicles.
Ant idea where I can obtain a wiring sheet for this vehicle and also if there may be anything special I need to know before I attempt installing it in this vehicle.
Thanks for the bandwidth,
Eddie

You will need a bypass transponder in order for the remote start to work.

Notes:
NOTE: This vehicle has an immobilizer system that needs to be bypassed when adding remote start. Use DEI part number 555U. *1 These wires will meter when using the passenger door lock switch. *2 The ECM/PCM is on the front of the transmission tunnel. The connectors are on the passenger side. On the 4 cylinder models the tach wire is in the white 31 pin connector E, pin 25. On the 6 cylinder models it is in the gray connector A, pin 23. *3 The ECM/PCM is on the front of the transmission tunnel. The connectors are on the passenger side. On the 4 cylinder models the VSS wire is in the white 31 pin connector E, pin 26. On the 6 cylinder models it is in the gray connector A, pin 11. *4 This is only on the sedans. On the coupes the moonroof motor is integrated into the moonroof control unit not allowing access to the motor wires.
