Or do what i did, install a viper 1 mile 2 way alarm..
with shock, window and motion sensor..

 

The antenna wire that sticks out from the front of the control unit under the drivers seat is maybe 12-18" long. Just straightened it out and it reached maybe 3" past the front edge of the car seat.

Clipped the little end cap off, stripped the wire back 3/4" and took a 24-36" piece of speaker wire, then connected the two with a wire nut.

Ran the wire back under the seat and then up along the back of the seat, and wrapped it around that little plastic hook behind the seat....

Working like a charm!!

 

So, you're saying that when I park the car, get out, close the door, but forget to lock it and walk away...that the OEM alarm has an option to self lock after a set amount of time? If so, where and how do I set this option?

 

No.

If your car is CURRENTLY LOCKED> and you unlock it, but fail to open the door withen a certain period of time. The car will relock the doors.

 

Ah, I wonder why they didn't give us the other option instead where if I opened door/closed door and walk away, then it self locks/arms. I would think that that would be way more useful than the current autolocking feature, it just seems like a pretty useless option to have. I can't think of a situation where I would walk up to the car, unlock it, but not open the door and walk away...

 

actually with my aftermarket alarm, i thought the auto arm/lock feature would be great. but i found that it sucks when you have to fill up at the pump.

i guess i could keep the key in the ignition while i pump. but i dont like the possibility of me being able to lock myself out of my car at a gas station....

 

is it visible without pulling the seat out? do i need to pull the carpet a lilbit? where is it under the driver seat, near where the airbag sensor thing is? the lil connector to the seat

 

Yes, it is visible under the seat, in fact it is just below the edge of the seat. If you sat in the driver's seat and reached under, you'll feel it.

 

The Honda installation instructions (http://www.handa-accessories.com/S2000/s2ksecurity.pdf) show the antenna attached to a clip in front of the actual unit. Mine was not, which madfe it easy to pull it forward.

Look at the installation instructions link above to show placement....

 

thanks for the pdf!!

but now i got a new question... i didn't see the control unit under the seat when i pulled it out for my spg... i wonder where the thing is now..
