So the current remote start fob does not indicate whether the engine start was successful or not? You have to have a visual on the truck to determine if the remote start was successful?

That's disappointing that there is no confirmation whatsoever from the fob when the engine remote start is succesful.

Perhaps. I think most people who do a remote start would do it for a truck in their driveway (not a garage because there's no need in that case). I think most would thus be able to see the vehicle and get confirmation visually.

I had an aftermarket remote starter on my 03 Accord which has a fairly long range and audio, visual (lcd screen), and haptic feedback. It was sweet being able to start the car from the office on a really cold/hot day.

I'll be able to live with the factory one, but damn, I wouldn't think it'd be much to add an audio confirmation to the fob, a quick beep or something.

Thanks for the detail on the pricing. You had posted some of this info in another thread a while back and I've had the faraday bag in my Amazon cart ever since. This new Honda remote start system addresses all my squawking about the the system that came with the truck. If I can go with that I'm going to. My last three remote start systems were third-party and I'm done with that. I'm sure the expensive ones like Viper etc. are quite good.

Let us know what you end up finding out/doing. If it's not a huge investment I'd definitely be interested in getting the "upgraded" remote starter.
