Hi All.

The alarm remote for the 1994 vintage aftermarket alarm has fallen off my keys somewhere and the spare turns out to be defective. The car is now stuck in alarm mode ( I manually opened the door) and immobilised. Luckily the backup battery for the alarm is weak so it's only making sad disappointed robot whimpers when I open the door now

I don't actually know whether the alarm is immobilising the engine or if it has activated a standard Honda function. Did early 5th Gen Accords actually come with a factory immobiliser circuit?

If this has happened to anyone else, what did you do to overcome not being able to disarm the alarm? Did you get a universal key fob to work (and how?), or a new alarm?

I kind of don't want to take out this old alarm and then find out I needed to do something else first to be able to start the car!

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
