2014 Accord PTS - Discrepancy in Instructions?

Question

2014 Accord Push to Start

Evo-One w/ T-Har-One-Hon3

 

1. Instructions on Fortin website indicate that D2 must be turned on during programming if equipped with OEM alarm. I did not turn on D2 and it is working fine, is there a reason D2 must be enabled?
   1. I left D2 off as it seems to be more secure because there if D2 is enabled, there is a period during which the vehicle is left unlocked, so if someone was walking by and heard the vehicle unlock, they could access the vehicle before it starts and relocks.

Answer 1

Wait a good 5 minutes after the car is locked then remote start it. If the alarm does not ring, you will not need D2.

Hi Robb,

It seems to work regardless of how long the vehicle has been locked.

Not sure if Fortin should mark that step as optional or not, it certainly seems like the more secure option NOT having to enable D2

 

Thanks for your answer!
