I see it requires obtaining a Brake Code from Honda to make it work though.
Sounds very much like the hoops you would jump through to get the radio
code. It also appears the same applies to pretty much every make of car and
within Honda it isn't specific to the Civic, only the "chicken dance" is
different. At any rate, there are much easier ways of stealing a car.
