Can 1998 Honda Accord LX be hot wired and stolen?

contains a transponder and there is a receiver on the ignition switch. If
the system does not detect a proper key, it does not signal the ECU and so
the fuel injection system is disabled.

How about a, er, "non-casual" thief?

They'll just back a tow truck up to it and drive away!

The accord's "anti-theft device" is a normally-closed device; just as most
manufactures devices.
What does that mean? You merely have to interupt power to the device to
deactivate it. Now, it is not on the fuse box proper; but it's fuse
location is
clearly shown in the dealer repair manual. So, any theif who wishes to
steal an Accord with access to one, can steal it.

It is not just a "cutout" device but must provide a digital "key good"
signal to the ECU or the fuel injection system will not operate.

tester and a password obtained from Honda, no one will ever get one started
by yanking the ignition lock cylinder and crossing the ignition switch
wires.

Non-casual here would probably refer to having some pretty heavy
gadgetry, and plenty of time to find a soft spot, and tap into
it.
So I guess with enough smarts and knowledge, and the right
equipment, *and* enough time, the Accord can be stolen. Other
than that... the chances are pretty slim.

minutes a key and processor that have been coded to each other and you are in,
but the problem is getting the 15 minutes to swap out the units. I suppose you
could also haul it off on a flatbed.

Actually, disabling the system actually requires less physical force than
yanking the lock cylinder.
You can thank the lawyers for preventing Honda from making it a "normally
open" device.

must receive a signal from a computer chip in the ignition key before it will
start. No key, no ignition.
Any chance you, like me, are driving a manual transmission Honda with the
defective master cylinder in the clutch? After more than a year on the
market, Honda still cannot fix its own product, and I'm anxious to find other
owners in this predicament.

Accords?
Perhaps the remote starter installer disables the engine cut off ?

the ignition OR they just bypass it if that's possible. I think the key
doesn't exactly have to be put inside the keyhole, just near it.

near the sensor. Frankly, I wouldn't want a remote starter. But perhaps they
are of interest to persons living in cold climates, who want to warm up their
car before going outside? Still seems odd to me.
By the way, it is NOT true as someone here has written that only the V6 requires
the special key to start the car; all 98 Accords have that feature, without
regard to engine type. The EX includes a security system (alarm) and the LX and
DX do not, but that has nothing to do with V6 or no V6.

gotta do is bypass the whole key mess and it will start right up.. and honda
is real nice and bundles all the nessecary wires together.. I know because I
was a prof. installer and have put alarms in many hondas.. they are no trick
to steal...

Are you sure about that? One of the keys I got from the dealer, while it
