I have an accord 2006 SE. It comes with a factory theft deterrent system. There is an amber light that blinks near the speedometer when it is activated.

I also noticed there is a hood pin switch.
Does anyone know if this is part of the factory system? Does the system monitor the hood with a hood pin switch?

I am asking cause I also have a remote started on the car. I am not sure if the hood pin switch was installed as part of the remote starter or part of the factory theft deterrent system?

The car was bought used.

 

What you are seeing is the one for the aftermarket system. The factory one is built into the latch.

 

thanks
