Does anything else have to be done in addition to plugging in the module? Is there any wiring to be done? How does one know if the system has been armed or not?

In my Corolla, I have an after-market system that has a blinking red light on my dash that tells me when the system is armed. Is there something similar to this? Do I have to drill any holes?

Also, do I just stick the green connector with the module back to where it belonged?

Thanks

May I ask - where is this override switch? I don't see it.

I have no need for an audible alarm but still want the door locks, etc to work from the remote.

I have an LED right there, but no switch anywhere near it. The alarm has gone off several times when I didn't want it to and it's annoying - I'd rather just not have it.

I found the vallet switch under the driver side dash.

Does anyone here still have the instructions for their alarm. I need to reprogram mine. Right now the alarm automatically arms. I want to change it so you have to arm it with the key fob. If memory serves me correctly, there were two slightly different procedures, but alas, I have misplaced the instructions.

Not sure if this is something that can be unprogrammed.....
When I enter the vehicle, the natural first instinct is to hit the door lock switch to lock all the door. I do this in my other cars no problem, but in the 2005HCH, it arms the alarm system. This is more than annoying as sometimes I'm just sitting in the car and my elbow hits the door's upper manual lock and it also arms the systems, then the alarm goes off when I try using the remote to disarm it. THis to me is not normal. Also, the car won't start in this situation. My daughter also likes locking the doors upon entering the vehicle for saftey, but she has to start the car first then hit the lock switch. Any ideas or comments on your own experiences for the MY2005 HCH owners?

I have a 06 Civic Hybrid. Whenever I'm in the car and lock the car with my remote , then try to get out of the car (unlocking with the door handle first) the alarm goes off. I guess this means I have the alarm system. What other features go with this alarm? What if someone shakes the car? What if someone breaks a window?

The factory security device is only if the vehicle door is opened. If the glass is broken or the car is moved or towed away, nothing will happen. There is an upgrade to the stock alarm that is for vibration. Mine cost $600 but covers the vehicle replacement for 2 yrs.

Does anyone know whether the 08E50-S5D-100 will go off if someone breaks a window? Its not clear from the replies or from Honda customer service or dealers that I have called whether this is the case.

Thanks in advance.

It probably doesn't have a glass-shattering sensor, but if someone breaks the window then opens or unlocks the door it will go off.
