Will the Brake-Lite Relay # RM-88400 Interfere with the Auto Start Feature on a 2013 Honda CR-V

Question:

my 2013 CRV has autostart installed. Will the relay kit I bought interfere with The auto start ? Pressing the brake kills the engine as a safety measure if the car is broken into when it is running.

I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and he told me that the Brake-Lite Relay, # RM-88400, will not interfere with auto start feature on your 2013 Honda CR-V. The Brake-Lite Relay connects to the blue brake light wire wire coming from the brake light switch that powers the brake lights. It does not connect to the circuit that shuts off your engine to prevent theft.

When installing the Brake-Lite Relay on your vehicle, you will want to follow the Standard (Normally Open) Installation procedure. I have attached a wiring diagram and steps for you to check out.
