I bought my t-harness (key start) from eBay. I just googled the part number IIRC.Has anyone been able to find the T-harness from Fortin or is it only available through distributors?
I have the push button so I need the THAR-ONE-HON6 which I haven't been able to find anywhere.I bought my t-harness (key start) from eBay. I just googled the part number IIRC.
This method is generally not recommended since you're restricted to the the small distance range of OEM remotesThank you everyone for being active on this thread.
So, Here's what I've read from all the other posts
1. YES, it's possible for PTS(push-to-start) 6MT Civics can be used with the OEM remote for remote start using the 3Lock method.
Least expensive, and best, option is a Blade AL, of which handles all data options availableCurrently, there are 2 solutions for making this happen
Fortin EVO-ONE system with THAR-ONE-HON6 T-Harness, and the Flashlink Updater tool http://fortin.ca/en/vehicles/honda/civic/2018-push-to-start/
AND
Compustar Honda Remote Start System DC3 Vehicle-Specific Remote Starter (FT-DC3-S, ADS-THR-HA6/HA7)

This is a security feature, else it would allow anyone to jump in the car while started and drive off without having to have the immobilizer key fob2. During the Takeover process in our vehicles, the engine will shut off, and need to be restarted. because not the Honda factory system. doesn't look like a simple work-around for us 6MT owners
That's because they know what they're doing... without an aftermarket remote, you're limited to the ~50ft range of the OEM key fob.3. Every installer i've talked to around Calgary always wants to sell you a remote, even if you request that you don't want one or the extra cost...(sorry, little salty Canadian here, stereotypical apology)

I appreciate the information, as does the whole forum thread. Thank You, genuinelyThis method is generally not recommended since you're restricted to the the small distance range of OEM remotes

- Granted, the Type R, so likely all Civic PTS MT vehicles, once started with the key fob in range, can be driven without the keyfob in the vehicle.

- For example:
- Base 1 button remote [R3] from CompuStar has an 800ft range (1 way)
- G6 has a 1000ft range (1 way)
- T9 has a 1000ft range (2 way)
- 901 has a 1 mile range (2 way)
- G15 has a 2 mile range (2 way)
- T11 has a 3 mile range (2 way)
- Drone has unlimited range, provided the vehicle is in an area with a cell tower (2 way)
My biggest reason going with the Fortin Evo-one is the T-harness option. I was able to do the the complete install without cutting or splicing a single wire. I got my entire setup for 160 but I already had the flashlink. To buy a flashlink the total would be around 200, installed.*Least expensive, and best, option is a Blade AL, of which handles all data options available*
Why is the Blade AL better than the Evo-One and/or Compustar??
I'm on the hunt for the best RS option for my 6MT key-to-start Civic Hatchback and was thinking the Evo-One is sitting tops of the list but I'd love to hear arguments for the Blade AL.
Any opinions and help with making this decision is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Simply put, CompuStar has ranked #1 as the best Alarm/Alarm + Remote Start/Remote Start company for well over a decade. Fortin is a Canadian company and does not carry/manufacture any remotes/antennas*Least expensive, and best, option is a Blade AL, of which handles all data options available*

Thanks for the info! Very informative and much appreciated.
I realize this thread is for Push-to-Start owners and I'm out of my neighbourhood but my 2018 Civic Hatchback is Key-to-Start and of the Canadian variety.
I like that Fortin is Canadian as I am, but I'm not opposed to siding with another company if they are best suited to my needs.
Having an additional fob with greater range is a nice feature but I'm not dead set on needing that as my remote start range will be 95% in line of sight and under 50 feet.
If you were me, which remote starter would you get and would you have it professionally installed or DIY'it?? I have modest means and don't need the flashiest of flashy flashers..altho starting my car from around the globe using a cell tower is an absolute cool and the gang option for some but not what I'm after; just for reference.
Thanks in advance!
This may be true, however they are compatible with other antenna/remotes for longer range including CompuStar. Evo-one is compatible with DroneMobile which would allow for a remote start from your cell phone. Fortin does have some programmable options. IMO where they exceed is the install, it is almost plug and play.Fortin is a Canadian company and does not carry/manufacture any remotes/antennas
