From the FIT Sport manual, observations, and asking the dealer: 1 - The LED is in the instrument cluster. Is Red and is on solid when ON (not flashing). 2 - Manual says that alarm will activate from key button or from door lock. It protects all doors and hood. It will not activate if any doors are not closed or if key is in ignition. It will deactivate on key open button or on key in door lock. 3 - Salesman said Honda can make Valet key at less cost than remote key. Do not know price. The alarm will turn off on key opening door, so you do not need to carry remote key if you invest in valet key. 4 - Alarm is honking horn. According to manual, alarm is 2 minutes on and then off for some period and then back on. I saw no references to vibration sensor in manual. |

Replying to: jethaden (Apr 23, 2006 4:17 pm) Does the manual say the LED is on solid? I saw one at the dealer today and I thought it was blinking when armed. Is the hatch also protected? Does the manual say anything about this? |

Replying to: bodble2 (Apr 23, 2006 8:02 pm) The horn sounds and a combination of headlights, parking lights, [etc] flash if someone attempts to break into your vehicle or remove the radio. This alarm continues for 2 minutes, then it stops. To reset an alarming system before the 2 minutes have elapsed, unlock the driver's door with the key or the remote transmitter. The security system automatically sets 15 seconds after you lock the doors, hood, and the tailgate. For the system to activate, you must lock the doors and the tailgate from the outside with the key, driver's lock tab, door lock master switch, or remote transmitter. The security system indicator on the instrument panel starts blinking immediately to show you the system is setting itsself. Once the security system is set, opening any door, the tailgate, or the hood without using the key or the remote transmitter, will cause it to alarm. It also alarms if the radio is removed from the dashboard or the wiring is cut. The alarm will also be activated if the passenger inside the locked vehicle turns the ignition switch on. [The system will not activate if any door or hood is not closed. etc.]

Replying to: jethaden (Apr 26, 2006 4:52 pm) He said the parts department can make a "simple key" for about $10, but then I wonder how the car will start since (from what I have heard) the fuel is cut off to the engine without the microchip telling the car to start.
