Wondering how much the aussie NSX community knows about security / keyless locking systems installed in early NSX's by Honda Australia? Attached are two photos of the security wiring in my 91 NSX:
one photo shows the controller box extracted from under the passenger's feet, under subwoofer box. Also visible is another smaller box the controls central locking.
the other shows general wiring mess around the metal chassis behind the glove box that hod various electronic boxes, msot of which can't be seen. The empty slot is where the fatory centrl locking box goes.
Does anyone else have this type of security system? It has no manufacturer's marks on it at all.
Do we know whether Honda Australia imported NSX's without security systems, and had them fitted here?
Based on the woeful quality of the wiring workmanship in my car I'm doubtful, but it is an extensive security system. It includes a siren and another control box down low under the bonnet, plus a bonnet open detection switch. There's a LED on top of dash next to RH door pillar that flashes when the system is armed. If I don't start the car within say 30 secs of shutting the doors, it re-arms and then it won't start until I push unlock button on the key fob, which disarm with two flashes of the hazard lights.
Curiously it seems to have two remote operation antennae, one connecting to the box in the photo (see empty connector at base of photo) and another on a long ribbon cable to a little antenna about 30cm long velcro'd to the Engine Management Computer behind the driver's head.
Can anyone shed some light ?
thanks
