I just purchased this vehicle and would like to install either a alarm/remote start system or just a remote start/keylessentry. My questions are, does this vehicle have a factory alarm? The previous owner gave me a remote but it doesn't work. Factory remotes could end up costing me just as much as a alarm system. I have installed plenty of alarms in Hondas but I am a little worried about this vehicle. what will I need other than the alarm for this install? vehicle diagram would also be great? Thanks

if there is no factory alarm, I should be OK doing it myself. But if there is a factory alarm and I want to do remote starter, what else will I need?

looks liek ther isa factory alarm but is arms and disarms on lock and unlock so you be good to go. most remote startes can disarm the alarm b4 remote starting.
