Asked 1 year ago by EriCow.

• A:Answer I had this installed in my 2008 Honda Fit and it does not honk when being used but lights do flash. And when remotely started the tail lights remain lighted. I really like this product works well for me.

Q: QuestionWhy is this product designated as "One Way" when the FOB does receive confirmation that the car has started?

Asked 2 years ago by Jack2u.

• A:Answer I don't believe this unit recieves "feedback" from the auto. One tap and the first LED indicates Lock, Two taps and the second LED Indicates Unlock, hold for three sec and the start LED flashes. These only indicate which function has been selected. If you have line of sight with the car you can see the blinkers flash to indicate the command was recieved but there is no indication on the remote.

Q: QuestionIs a harness also required for installation on 2015 Toyota Tacoma?

Asked 2 years ago by Harness.

• A:Answer My 2016 Nissan Altima required an accessory wiring harness. I believe most cars do. It is ordered for your specific vehicle as a seperate line item but included in the product price. The store didn't have one in stock so they sent it to my home before the install date. I purchased my starter on a Sunday and the first opening for install was the following Fri. I had my accessory harness in two days, well before the install date. Install was a snap, in and out in less than an hour.
