I have an 09 honda accord. I am constantly having an issue where I go to get in my car and the anti theft has some how activated and I can't start my car. The only way I know how to fix it is to have somebody jump me. I want to know if there is an easier way to get my car started after the anti theft has activated or if there is a way to disable it? I don't need it so I would prefer to disable it if possible. It always happens when I have my kids with me and we end up stranded til somebody can come jump me. Please help!

is this factory/dealer installed?

Yes it is the factory anti theft. My brother thinks it's my battery but when I go to start my car all the lights sounds everything work it just won't start and the little green key comes up on my dash which stands for the anti theft feature

have you taken it back to the dealer that installed it?

All you need to do to work around anti-theft is hook the car up to a different battery? That doesn't sound right at all.

have you checked to make sure the alternator is working correctly, brought the battery to an auto parts store to be tested for free? And check the terminals to make sure they're tight

Almost sounds like your battery voltage is too low for the computers. adding a booster battery is bringing up the voltage.

If getting it jumped is the solution, your battery is the problem. as a 2009 it likely still has the OEM battery and is due for replacement anyway. Replace it before it also kills your alternator.
