Should I have remote starter installed -- Accord 04 EX

Guest 29 January 2005 20:11:23
 I spoke to a Honda Dealer who said I shouldn't have a remote starter
installed at all due to frequencies in the security system that are
sensitive and change daily that would cause problems with a remote
starter. But I also spoke with a very reputable custom car shop and
they said they COULD install the remote start and they use a system
where they use the valet key and the security card that came with my
Accord to install the remote starter kit. They said it is very safe
and also professional (not a cheap system). They said it would run me
$550 when all is said and done.

First question: SHOULD I get a remote starter kit? I don't want to
wreck my Accord.
Second: Is $550 too much? I can't find pricse anywhere else.

Thanks.

 The place I got the quote from said they would need the security card
that I got from the dealer (credit card size) and also a valet key.
The way he described it would work is I would leave the car running,
get out of the car, close the door and turn off the car from the remote
transmitter. That way it ensures the car is in neutral when I turn it
back on with the remote transmitter. I will have to check about
whether or not it bypassing the security, but I seem to remember him
saying it would work with the security system (hence the use of the
security card and valet key, I assume).

Does this make any sense? I want to make sure I'm not getting screwed,
plus I would want to make sure they have a warranty on the install,
etc.

Thanks.

 Thanks a lot. If it helps... when I warm up my car for about 5 minutes
each morning I then have a 45 mile (1 hour) drive to work. So that
might help.

I have a 2004 Honda Accord EX (4 cyl, 4 door) in Pennsylvania (U.S.).

I am very particular about keeping my car in top notch condition and
treating it well to make it last as long as possible (especially since
I put 35k miles on a year). If this remote starter would compromise
the efficiency and longevity of the engine, then I might reconsider.
Thanks!

 Thanks Tom. Actually, because it IS so expensive I do value the
opinions given here. The Honda dealer said they never recommend remote
starters to be installed on new Honda's, so I am wary about doing it.
Thanks.
