The reciever under the seat is for the optional factory alarm.

 

I think I found the receiver. It's this thin flat box adhered to the bottom of the seat right? It has a black wire with a knobby end that snakes toward the front and is held there by a metal braket.

Is this it?

 

oh.. factory alarm...

then where is the receiver for the factory keyless entry?

 

Not too sure but I believe the Factory keyless entry receiver without the security System is thru the radio. atleast thats how is in my Civic.

Good Luck

 

Thats the one If you get a mirror and a flashlight you can see it even better. There are two controls that face downward. A dial for sensitivity and a switch for alarm option. (Auto-lock, Std, ...)

 

Do you think turning up the sensitivity will help my remote make contact with the receiver so I can get the locks to cycle?

Is tyhere any reason not to have sensitivy on MAX all the time?

 

You can't just tap the trunk button. You have to hold it down for a couple seconds for it to activate.

Sesitivity has nothing to do with the remote function. It's how sensitive the alarm is. If you go to max, you may have some false alarms with Thunder or or vehicle with Loud Exhaust driving by .

 

- does this work for ANY honda as well?
- my girl's civic is in need of a new one...

 

I'm not sure. I think that all Honda OEM alarms are the same. Just not 100% for sure.
