Folks, this is merely part of the key-minder feature that helps prevent you from locking or leaving the key in the car.
[MENTION=30]CivicAssassin[/MENTION]: That's what I've been doing is leaving the door cracked-open. That avoids the honk. However this is visible from a distance and inviting.
[MENTION=3611]miguel.in.az[/MENTION]: Temporarily placing the keyfob on the windshield or on the roof sounds like a nice idea that I'll try. Maybe it'll even let you lock the car while it runs? That would be nice. I wonder if it'll honk if you walk-up and hit unlock haha?
I once set the alarm off, opening the door with the keyfob in my pocket so I know detection failures can sometimes occur. Odd that it somehow armed with the doors unlocked though. It seems the two systems were briefly out-of-sync. (no pun intended)
Two Questions:
1) Where is the horn relay? Simply splicing in an interrupt switch on the low-current side of the horn relay would prevent the relay from being signaled.
2) Has anyone tried to drive away without the keyfob in the car? Does it die as soon as you shift into gear?
