i remember a while ago people were able to do this, with the truck opener from like a 98 accord or something , are people still doing this, and is it possible on a 05 lx sedan, as well , is it possible to get a controller from an accord and just change out the key and the signal to match your car or whatever to just make it look like it belongs, rather then with an aftermarket alarm?

no, it will not work with oem alarm. but it will bolt in. I did it on my coupe, and im gonna order one for my gf's sedan this week.

what part did you use? also who did you go to for this kind of work?

Circuit city did mine on the 02 sedan recently. Bolts right on, controled with my viper alarm by pressing two buttons. The relay it came with didn't work, they had to use another one and hook it up. Paid around $40 for install, $35 for the part off handaaccessories.com

thats not bad at all, but why wont it work with an oem alarm, cause im having lockjack put on , and just want something simple to open up the trunk

oem civic keyless remote doesn't have an extra channel.

not just the remote, the factory alarm in general doesnt have an available channel. The install took me 20-30 minutes, the hard part being hooking up the relay and running the wire to the trunk.

why not use from an accord then? damn i didnt know it was this easy and so many times does it seem to come in handy, so what kind of remotes can i hook it up to ?

youll need an extra channel thatll generate (-) pulse to trigger popper via a relay.

btw, the circuit city guy prolly didnt know how to read the relay diagram thats on top of the relay.

you can use the Canadian Acura EL pooper, security moduel, and relay and you will have it without installing an alarm, but you might as well get an alarm since you have added security for almost the same money.

I thought the 6thGen civic popper module still bolts on to 7thgen, no? I wanna have this done, been thinkin bout it, never knew thr right part.

i doubt it, they just dont have anything that'll plug into it. So they used something with a plug and wires. If they can use any relay, they understand a diagram, since the numbers are also listed on the oem relay.

point of it is just to stay oem, not lower the value or the car or anything like that, but we would still be using 2 different key chains then? any part number?

you would think so but OEM diagram either use 1,2,3,4,also 5 (if spdt relay, trunk popper relay has 4 pins (spst)) or just plain coil and pole diagram.

the bosch type relay uses 85,86,30,87,87a(spdt relay), they dont look at he diagram on top of the relay. you will be surprise, alarm installers are so used to the bosch-type relays but when theyre given something slightly diff, just cant seem to figure it out.

It will all stay OEM. You will replace the Honda security system which only has a fob to control lock, unlock, panic with the Acura EL ( which is like a Sedan +++++ ) which has lock, unlock, panic, trunk. Then you will add the Acura EL trunk parts to operate the opening aspect and have fully working relays that are OEM and recommanded for the security system. All the parts that you will be using will be Honda make and probebly under their warrenty also. You will not lower the value, you will just have a small acura sign on your keyfob. We need a Acura EL owner to post a picture of their fob.

I will get you some part numbers as soon as i come back from classes.
