I've noticed that if I unlock the door using the remote and do not open the door, it will lock itself back up... can someone confirm this?

thanks,

yes

 

yeah..i think it's like 20 or 30 seconds later..it will relock...my accord does the same...i actually have the stock alarm system, but can't get it to work.....when i lock the doors...it doesn't arm the system...the light doesn't flash...need to take it in....

 

The stock security system has a switch on it to toggle between "manual" (lock/arm only when button is pressed), "auto arm" (arm automatically after 20/30 seconds, but don't automatically lock), and "auto arm/lock" (arm & lock automaticially after 20/30 seconds).

By default, the system is set to manual. I grabbed a mirror, a flashlight, and an unbent paper clip and flipped mine from manual to auto arm/lock. Took a little time to do it due to limited space, but no big deal.

The stock system also comes with 2 remotes (in addition to the 2 that come with the car)....haven't been able to get the originals to disarm the alarm in addition to unlocking the car (don't think they can), but that doesn't really matter since the "Option" button on the stock system remotes can be programmed to release the trunk.

 

thanks dude.....mine is on manual....i will try to flip it to auto and see what happens..... we got our used, but it didn't come with the 2 extra remotes...that may be the problem.... i used to live in texas....loved it...i lived in addison for a year...then moved to fort worth...wish i was back there....we actually got the car in north richland hills....higgins honda.....anyways...thanks for the advice....you texas people are always the nicest...LOL

 

Yes, there are other settings also.

 

well i just tried it...i set to auto....it works....but since i don't have the remote to disengage it....it just keeps going off.....so in effect...i need to get my remotes programmed for the alarm.....

 

Maybe you guys should try the Boomerang 2000 alarm system, it has one exceptional feature that really impresses and that is when you leave the car with the keys out within one metre the doors automatically lock itself and vice-versa. This is just one feature, there are just damn too many to list.

 

The car will actually relock itself WITHOUT the alarm also.

Ok, good, since my car does not have the alarm, just the remote lock and unlock. The question is, do we still have all these other modes?
