I'm looking to install a remote starter on my 06 Civic DX (5 speed manual).

Installation should be extremely easy for it since it doesn't have power door locks or any factory alarm system right?

From what i've gather, it should be 7 wires total to connect.

- Power
- Ground
- Ignition
- Starter

- Tachometer
- Brake
- Parking lights

Am I missing anything? I bought this remote starter for a automatic but it shouldn't matter right?

Could someone shed some light onto where is the tachometer wire located? Ignition harness?

 

Is this also an alarm? If so you will need Door trigger/ trunk trigger/hood pin (if equipped) On mine the tach was under the hood

 

not to mention clutch bypass

 

oh yeah...duh, lol. Thats easy though

there's all you need for your car starter bud.... don't forget that all civics have the transponder key in them and go to the nearest circuit city or best buy to buy a dei 556uw key box.... you need to give up your valet key.


now i havent done a starter on these yet, so i cant personally give you any tips or varify the wires i posted.


u need to hook up all the accesories and ignitions.. or your fuel pump/heaterblower etc... may not start up

 

The only words of wisdom i can give you is that they suck *** to do, lol. Took me like 7 hours for mine..but that also includes beer/pizza time

 

i install an average 100-130 starters per winter season. about. 400+ in all for my store

 

- I've bypassed the clutch the day I got the car with several miles on the odo.

- The civic DX does not have a transponder.

- This is just a remote starter (DEI 561r, no alarm)

 

sounds too complicated weather or not its powerd you need to do bypass due to the car checking if key code and have one key taken away ..... best advice have cc/bb install alarm n starter so if they expletive up they'll take the blame!

well i guess you are good to go then

 

Redciv is correct with the wiring colors and such but got the wiring directly off of directechs.com which is usually right, but in my 07 Si it wasn't close, there was a lot of things that were way off. I don't know if the DX will be the same.

just a friendly heads up.

 

You don't need to give up any keys if you use an idatalink bypass module. It will take care of that for you.
you can order the multi series (ADS-TB) that works with many cars,
or order the solo series (ADS-TBSL-HA) which is actually cheaper and for Honda/Acura.
Just make sure the shop you buy it from installs the software on it because i belive they come shipped with no software on them.
More info at; http://idatalink.com/viewprod.asp?pid=3

If youre having trouble finding the right tach wire, i used the following;
The cylinder on the passenger side, there are 3 wires on the spark plug, use the one closest to the drivers side (cyl on the left, wire on the right)
but whatever you do do NOT use blk/wht, black or yel/blk on ANY cylinder.

kroze, i'm not sure if there is a difference between the Canadian models and the American ones but i know that here in Canada, all models are the same wiring and they ALL have a factory immobilizer.

If you have any questions on finding any of the wires you can message me or post it up because i just installed this into my car yesterday and i am an professional installer.

cheers!

 

The civic DX in the us also doesn't have: rear disc brakes, power locks, a radio or even a cassette player, arm rest (not even arm rest!), air conditioning, rear sway bar, steering wheel mounted control, steelie rims, etc...

basically cut every corner to save cost. So no transponder or immobolizer unless someone show me how to test it to see if i have it or not.

transponder is a chip on the key itself preventing just anyone from making a duplicate key and steal your car right? my sister's pathfinder have one and i think i know what it is.

 

I could of swore that all new cars have em... but i could be wrong.

Do you know if this module will work with a Viper alarm?

I could use some help installing a bulldog remote starter in a 2001 odd.

Thanks

I have the main unit, bypass and t harness, I cant find where the t harness plugs into the igintion switch.

Do I leave a key inside the bypass looped wire?

Please help.

 

redciv, have you installed a rs on a 2007 ridgeline ? if so any advice/info would be much appreciated.

 

I want to install a remote start/lock on my 2006 Honda element so will I need a bypass unit too?
