Hi all.
So I serviced my wife's Accord last weekend including plugs and thermostat. I wanted to do the coolant, but the stuff GSF sent me was red, while the coolant in the car is blue/green. Can I use the red coolant?

Also the plugs and oil looked ok, but I changed it for some Fuchs oil as I was unsure of the quality.

I do have a few questions though.

1. Where is the security code for the navigation system located, as my paperwork contains a 5 digit code for the audio.
2. I have the BOSE system, but are all speakers and sub amplified or is it just the subwoofer. If its just the sub, are the stock speakers 2ohm or 4ohm as I have a set of speakers from the old Civic I'd like to install with a 4 channel amp, and Pioneer head unit.
3. Does the car have an alarm, or is it just remote central locking. If it is just remote central locking (as it was with my old BB8 Prelude VTi), does anyone have the wiring diagram for this car as I'd like to install an alarm with automatic lock for my wife.
4. Is there a feed for reversing camera?

Sorry for all the questions.

Here are the pics from the weekend.

The pollen filter was filthy as hell. Possibly 10 years worth of crud. The new one was slightly bigger so had to trim it to fit. Also, the air box was filthy so that came out for. Clean. All in all I'm pleased with it, but it's quite refreshing to use my Lexus IS300 daily. My daughter was passing me the spanners ha ha. She loves cars.

Good job, cute kid and nice car, love the colour! rare colour

Regarding the coolant you shouldn't mix, the blue green will be the original coolant which is highly recommended, if you want to use the red then make sure you flush the whole cooling system properly, so the radiator, thermostat and from the cylinder block, or you could buy the original coolant from Holdcroft Honda which is only around £18 for 5 litres.

3. Car has alarm mate with immobiliser and deadlocks, some have ultrasonic alarm, it will flash 3 times which indicates alarm activation then you have the red flicking light inside.
4. There is no reverse camera bits on it, don't think it was even option, but might be wrong.
