Hi! I bought my TSX in February and am having the same problem. Dealer is telling me they've never heard of this before, so I'm very glad to see your post. My alarm has been doing the same thing intermittently since I got the car. Very often it happens after I've put gas in it. (??I know it sounds stupid) Like you, if I press "unlock", it makes it stop. They had it for a week and said they could not replicate the problem and they "adjusted the door".......Not sure what that's supposed to do. They're not listening to me when I explain this is happening when I turn the key, not open the door. UGH! Anyways, I was wondering if you've gotten yours fixed and if so, what was the problem? HELP PLEASE!!!

Lock-confirm beep problem by eric326

I've had my TSX for over a month and put 1500 miles on it. Everything was perfect until today - suddenly I couldn't get the lock-confirm beep. I carefully checked each door, trunk, even hood, and made sure all are closed. I even turned the car key to made sure the trunk was indeed closed on the dashboard. Still there's no beep no matter how many times I push the lock button on the remote. I can hear the sound of locks everytime I push. The remote seems working fine since it can lock/unlock the doors. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is there a switch that turn the beep on/off? Thanks!

Did anyone opt to have this system installed in your car? If so, what did you pay?

My Acura dealer wanted $795 for the basic version. I decided to pass. The car has an alarm and an the chip in the key. Also, I frequently use a wheel lock. If it still gets stolen after all of that, I have insurance.

(I saw another post from May that sounds like the same situation.) HELP PLEASE!!

In response to your alarm problem read my post #96 in this thread. I was going nuts at the time and it took my dealership almost a month to finally do something about it! My problem ended up being something called a multi-plex. After countless visits to the dealer and consulting with the technicians I pleaded with them to change the "brain" of the security system. The changed the "multi-plex ??" and I haven't had a problem since. As you can see by my post a couple of years ago I was quite aggrivated but am since very happy with my purchase. No problems since.

Do you lock the door as soon as you get in? I do this and then sometimes move my purse around, or look for a new cd, or something else, all before I start the car. After so many seconds (not sure how many) that the doors have been locked, the security system turns itself on. Then, you put the key in and try starting the car, setting off the alarm. I do it all the time. It would seem that this shouldn't happen, as the key supposedly has some microchip telling the car that it's the right key. But, it doesn't work that way. It took me a few times to figure out that my locking the door and waiting to start the car was setting off the alarm.

TSX easy to break into? by softwareguy

Have any other TSX owners had their cars broken into?
 
Mine has twice so far. Both times my car was locked with the alarm set and they broke into it without setting the alarm or breaking glass. I don't think a jimmy bar was used either because there aren't any scratches on the glass and the rubber seals were not disturbed (there was an even coating of pollen across them from the trees).
 
I spoke with my local dealer and he indicated that a few other TSX owners have experienced the same thing. The only thing he can figure is that someone has duplicated the transmitting signal used by my remote.
 
Anyone else out there experiencing this - particularly in the San Francisco Bay area?
 
Thanks,

Not happened to me. I live in San Jose, work in San Mateo.
 
If no damage was done, what did the thieves take that tipped you off to the break-ins?
 
I rarely leave anything that appears valuable in plain sight inside the car. Thieves usually break in when there's something worth taking.
