I am in the market for buying a new car remote start and security all in one. I have a couple of models picked out but don't know if they are compatible with my 2003 Honda Civic EX 2 Door Coupe. I get different answers from different people. I plan on picking out a product tonight but want to make sure that it is a good fit for my car Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the fob's battery? No Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Civic yourself? What have you tried so far? Nothing needs fixed I just need advice on what model car remote start and security system work on my car

The information initially submitted has assisted me in suggesting that most remote start systems should be compatible with alot of vehicles so in terms of picking its best to go for one that has all features you require and check for customer reviews as this will help by telling you in most reliable and ease of use.

Thank you AutoExpert20 for your answer. The remote start and security systems that I am thinking about purchasing are: A Compustar All in One 2 Way Remote Start and Security with a Blade-Al Module Bypass. The other on that I am thinking of is the Viper Entry Level 1 Way Remote Start and Security System 1/4 Mile Range 5105v this one has a price of just $129.95. While the Computar is about $210 but comes with a bypass, not sure if I will need to buy a bypass for the Viper. It doesn't say anything about it or needing one. These are off of Ebay. Your reply to my question to you would be much appreciated. Thank you for your help thus far and hope that you can reply to my concern about which model should I go with. Thank you. AutoExpert20

the compustar sounds better to be honest as comes with bypass and having that already built in would save buying one if later on you find out you need one it may not say you do need one, but when you are halfway through fitting then you found out that you needed one would just stop the fitting process.
