I searched and came up with nothing. I'm sure this question comes up every once in a while though. I know the 97-98 did not come with key less entry. Now, I know you can buy the 99-01 keyless entry/security system, but the "kit" states that it only fits 99-01. I would loooove to be able to unlock my door just by pressing a simple button while running in the rain, instead of trying to juggle keys and getting drenched. Does the oem kit really only fit the 99-01's? Thanks for the answers ahead of time.

I do not need to explain anything to you.
My broken wings still strong enough to cross the ocean with.
My broken wings how far should I go drifting in the wind.
In order to get keyless entry on a 97-98 Prelude you have to purchase the OEM security system
Parts# are
08E51-SV4-102F this is the 1997 OEM alarm (superceded part# was SV4-101F) still available from Honda
08E51-S84-100 this is for the 1998+ OEM alarm still available from Honda
08E55-S30-100 this is the 1997-1998 alarm attachment still available from Honda
What is NOT AVAILABLE anymore for the 97-98 OEM alarm is the
security system options harness (08E57-S30-100)
& it is used for connecting an external siren & hood switch)
the external siren 08E49-S30-100F (not available from Honda)
the hood switch 08E49-S30-100G (not available from Honda)
The part#s for 99-01 are DIFFERENT
08E51-S84-100 OEM alarm (same part as 98-02 Accord)
08E55-S30-101 attachment kit
08E57-S30-101 security system options harness (not available but the 98-02 Accord one is available part# 08E57-S84-100 & it might also work in the 1998 too)
?? the hood switch (not available) (the 98-02 Accord one is still available it might work part#08E49-S84-100G)
?? external siren (not available) but you might be able to use the CRV one 08E49-S10-101F for a 98-01 model

I have a 98 SH - has anyone actually installed the alarm? I too have heard that the factory alarm is only intended for 99-01 and want to be sure before I purchase and install.
I'd rather have an oem keyless/security system. Unless I could program an OEM keyfob to the aftermarket system.

You're telling me. I wish I had researched more before I bought. I'm new to the Prelude world though, I started out with an ed6.

Awesome, that's the information I needed. So to be 100% sure, in order to have the keyless entry I have to buy the alarm system too?

I'm pretty sure you can't have one without the other. For example, you can't have oem keyless entry without the oem alarm system, and you can't have the oem alarm system without the oem keyless entry.

I have a 98 SH and did the OEM alarm install myself. Works great and was easy to install. All I really wanted was the keyless...it was an expensive keyless system.

Might as well go aftermarket..cheaper and has the same functions as oem

Aftermarket would require me to splice into the factory harnesses correct?
The OEM system has connectors that get plugged in between the factory connectors...simple. Everything is already laid out for you. No splicing. That was what I was after. Plus I had an aftermarket system in my last car and it only worked some of the time. On more than a few occasions I would return to my car unlocked, knowing that I locked it when I left it. I wanted to give OEM a shot and it has worked great so far. So no, I might as well not have gone aftermarket.

Your aftermarket alarm probably worked sometime because it must of been a cheap alarm and bad installation. My 97 prelude came with a stock alarm. It kept going off for no apparent reason. Night or day it would just randomly sound the alarm. Doors wouldn't unlock/lock when pressing the button. Got so annoyed of it I removed the stock alarm. Installed an aftermarket autopage alarm and haven't had a problem since. Just because it's oem doesn't mean it's better.
Aftermarket is way cheaper. DEI (clifford, viper, python) or Autopage are good alarms. Autopage are cheaper in price than DEI but just as reliable. Checkout sonicelectronix.com for alarms or just keyless entry. Should be around $50 or less shipped without 2way lcd pager. Stock Wiring information can be found at the12volt.com. Only 7-8 wires need to be hooked up. Use posi-taps (no crimping/cutting/stripping required) (Posi-Lock/taps) if you don't want to solder.

I'd prefer oem too, but aftermarket is basically the same thing, and WAY more cost efficient. I'd rather not go cheap but I want the security now instead of saving for it and end up getting my car jacked.

The 97-98 OEM alarm AND the 99-01 OEM Alarms BOTH COME WITH NEW REMOTE KEY FOBS. So for 99-01 people you won't use the ones that came with the car anymore, and the 97-98 ones will now have them.

Your install was relatively recent and done using the kit supposedly intended for 99-01 only, right? If so, I will order mine asap. I prefer OEM too.
I installed it a couple years ago.
It was the kit for the 98 Prelude. I can't verify if it works with 99-01, but I will assume the attachment kit won't:
Security System 08E51-S84-100
Attachment Kit 08E55-S30-100

Hey thanks for the info, but I never said OEM is better. I wanted to try OEM, it plugged right in, it fits in with the OEM theme, I got a good deal on it (although it was more expensive than aftermarket) and it does what I need it to do.
Maybe your OEM alarm went off all the time because the broken glass mic sensitivity was too high. Mine did that too, but after I adjusted the sensitivity a couple times it stopped going off for no reason. Mine would only do that when parked in my carport. My theory is that the sound from cars or motorcycles driving by my carport would echo and amplify in the carport, setting off the alarm. I don't know why your doors wouldn't lock/unlock sometimes. That rarely happens to me.

OK then get aftermarket. It sounds like that's the way your leaning.
It'll be cheap and you'll have an alarm in addition to the keyless functionality you're looking for.

Yes the 1997 & 1998 attachment kit 08E55-S30-100 is still available from Honda. The 99-01 attachment kit is 08E55-S30-101 and is also still available from Honda.
Your best bet if you have a 1997 is to buy these separately
08E51-SV4-102F OEM alarm (still available from Honda)
08E55-S30-100 attachment kit (still available from Honda)
There is NO need to buy the H and A kit if you have a 1998 because you will STILL need the attachment kit 08E55-S30-100 So your best bet if you have a 1998 is to buy these separately
08E51-S84-100 OEM alarm (still available from Honda)
08E55-S30-100 attachment (still available from Honda)
Your best bet if you have a 1999-2001 is to buy the
H and A kit (better price then buying separately).
The H and A kit includes
08E51-S84-100 alarm
08E55-S30-101 attachment
