Hi guys-
I just purhcased a 5th gen prelude and am looking to upgrade my factory keyless entry to an alarm. I know this was an option on the canadian preludes but was not available in the US. I figure this should be a plug and play type of deal. I've looked at several aftermarket alarm systems but I'd rather keep a honda key fob and not go to any unnecessary trouble. Has anyone put a alarm on their 5th gen prelude from a canadian model? If so, where did you get it and how tough was the install? thanks

 

bump

 

bump to help a brother out

</TD></TR></TABLE>I just removed an OEM Honda alarm from a 5th gen lude a weak ago, and yes it is plug and play, but it took me almost an hour to remove it, what a bulky lump of **** it was, take my advice, do what my customer did relpaced it with a Compustar entry leval alarm $99 CAN. $150 install with doorlocks and securpack, [parklight flash and starter cut] hoodpin and trunk trigger, much better alarm and less then 1/3 of what Honda wanted for a new brain and 2 remotes and 1/2 what the wrecker wanted for the whole thing, brain, harness and 1 remote 94

 

so this was an option on US preludes? I may stop by a salvage yard

OEM plugs in the car were unplugged and the alarms harness was "T" ed into them, [ the alarm harness had a male and female plug that matched the cars OEM plug] so the alarm would work on any Honda/Acura that used the same OEM harness and plugs 94
