2006 2007 Honda Civic Security System by pham0167

Does anyone know what kind of security the new Civic has? I know that it has anti-theft radio because the console covers the radio, but does it have an alarm system that sounds when someone tries to break in, bump the car, or breaks the window? I'm thinking of installing a security system with shock sensos, glass sensor, and an alarm pager...does anyone have any experience to recommend what and where? Thanks

hey man
 
i've had lojack and viper for over 10 years and that's what i'm using for my new Si. Lojack is good for prevent and retrieval, Viper has some good features too. if someone bumps your car it'l page you (pager in your pocket)
 
Lojack can be set up to call your cell phone
 
with these cars you can't be lax because it'l get stripped or stolen - you'll never see it again especially if its got good condition or fancy accessories
 
good luck

What's the security system that comes with the Civic? what happens if someone bumps into the car or pulls on the door handle or breaks in the glass? are there sirens for those scenarios? is Viper easy enough to install myself or would i need to go through a professional? and how much would it be?
 
What is the cheapest/basic Viper model that would have basic alarm with a two-way remote/pager? I don't need remote start either. The closest and cheapest is the Viper 5000 i've found.
  
Thanks for the help

I have an '06 EX A/T w/Navi and I've tried enabling the auto-lock feature by following the instructions in the owner's manual without success. Anyone else have this problem, or am I missing something?

I have exactly the same car and I activated the auto door lock feature - I set it to lock as soon as I move the AT out of Park. Do you have an after market car alarm installed? My car came from the dealer with an additional, after-market car alarm installed. To get my Civic to lock the doors I had to disable the car alarm's auto-door lock feature (mine was set up to lock the doors as soon as I turned on the ignition, which I didn't like). Also, the Civic's procedure to enable its auto lock is rather complicated - make sure you follow it EXACTLY, STEP BY STEP. My car alarm is actually kind of handy - it can also be independently enabled to unlock the doors when I turn off the ignition - a feature that the Civic doesn't have.

Is there a way to set the front passenger door to un lock automatically? People who ride in my car have to manually push the unlock button before they open the door after a drive, otherwise I'd have to push the unlock button myself...it's a bit tedious for the passengers sometimes....why can't it unlock automatically when the passenger opens from the inside?

I believe the locks are programmable, so you should be able to do that. Check your owners manual as there is some kind of a sequence to that.

I've tried what it says in the owner's manual without any luck. It says for a manual transmission to:
1. put on car parking break
2. turn key to II position
3. press and hold the driver's door "unlock" button to hear two clicks (1st click after 5 secs, 2nd click after 10 secs)
4. within 5 secs of hearing the second click, turn key to I position
 
I've followed those steps at least 3-4 times and have had a second person check the directions. I've also pulled the key out after the steps and restart the car, and start the car immediately after completing those steps...and everytime, the front passenger doesn't unlock from the inside.
 
Anyone know what I could be doing wrong? do I need the gears to be in 1st, not in gear, feet on brakes?

Got it to work with three clicks, not two
