How do you start a Honda without a key?

What should I do when I Hotwire my Car?
Connect the ignition on/off wire to the battery wire. You should see the dash lights and other electrical components come alive at this point. If all you want to do is listen to the radio, you’re done. If you want to drive the car, you’ll need to spark the starter wire, which can get dangerous.
