Hi All:

I have an Accord LX-V6 with just the manufacturer security system.

In the event that one accidentally sets the alarm off, it is
deactivated by either waiting for the 2 minute timeout, or by pressing
unlock on the key which has the built in remote. Or it can also by
turned off by manually sticking the key in the driver or passenger
door and unlocking this.

My question is this.

The Accord also comes with a plain valet key which does not have the
remote buttons on it. If the alarm were accidentally set off, could
the valet key be used to manually unlock the door and thus turn off
the alarm. Or does it not have special electronics needed to do this
like the keys with built in remote?

Just wondering before I try it!


Thanks!
Drew

Nope, it should disarm by unlocking the driver's door in the key slot.

If you do try it, make sure your car is in the garage with the door
closed, so you don't piss off the neighbors

Okay...but will the valet key also disarm it? Or will only the key
with built in remote (normal key) disarm it?

It should disarm it just fine. It doesn't need a "signal" from the key.
