Remote start

Long story short I bought a 03 3.2 TL as a 3rd car. I was topping off the PS fluid this afternoon and noticed a sticker on the engine cover stating that the car has remote start. I can't figure out how to start it, I'm not sure I have an OEM key fob. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I searched my VIN and it didn't give me any information. And I'm sure I don't have OEM key fob. I just wish I would figure out what type of system it was so I could use the feature.
That looks like the OEM remote, But the TL never had remote start from factory so it's most likely aftermarket look at the notice sticker for clues of the maker like DEI makes remote starts or looking under the dash for the unit and write down the FCC id number lookup the replacement remote model #.

This is an '03. Honda Remote start never existed for that car.

I have the same car with the same fob, and it has original engine start, Simply click the lock key 2 separate times (2 sec.) in between while you are out of the car , it will start.
