Remote start (y)

[Hazwan]

Finally got the whole thing working without any problems. I had this alarm since last year and it stopped working after few months and remote start barely working since new. Few months after warranty claim later I got it back and everything working perfectly. Its one of those cheap ebay paging alarm with remote start

Anyway I didnt have much pics of it, I had them hidden plus I dont feel like sharing pics of them haha. Stealth install ftw!

Heres a vid of the remote start in action: Remote start = sucess! - YouTube

I hooked my mirrors to fold in when armed and fold out disarmed too.

Now to fabricate a switch so it wont start when the car is in gear haha.

Full of Winnage You're tempting me to add another mod on my list for this "non existing" 3g :p

and you say my wires are messy :P and about time the vid gets uploaded!! its looking good makes me want remote start for absolutely no reason haha

[2ndGenGuy]

Hahaha I love it! But, dude how are you gonna start the car when it's cold? Or was that a cold engine? Usually I gotta give it two pumps of the gas before it will start. :-/

[Hazwan]

Yeah that would be next lol. And yes I tried remote starting just now (7am) and of course it failed. I was thinking of something trunk release solenoid like this hooked up to aux channel so I could pump the gas before starting when its cold:



And yeah I usually need to pump once before starting when its cold. Twice sometimes depends on how 'cold' that is

[A18A]

technology at its finest

[smayala]

that will work did it on my old work truck. just make sure you mount it good those bad boys have some kick

[2ndGenGuy]

Hahaha! Gas pump button! Push it while you're driving for BOOST!

[Hazwan]

Haha wouldnt it faster to mash the pedal vs pushing a button lol

And yeah I'll make sure to hook them up properly. That would suck if my throttle get stuck wide open while driving. I might need to call 911

nice!! i had a remote feature on my sedan and i even used the one of the aux. functions to trigger a soleniod to rev the engine. i used to trip out people in parking lots all the time. then one day i got off work and remote started the car from the break room. only this time, i left the car in first.(this was the first and only time) so i clock out and go out to the lot and find my car about 30 feet from ware i parked it and saw that it had taken out a ford taurus from its left rear wheel. i actually.. um well the car actually totalled the ford. i was able to get away with it as far as my insurance was concerned. i said that i sarted the car and stepped out to take off my apron and uniform when it slipped into gear. long story short, if you have remote start on a manual. DONT LEAVE IT IN GEAR!!!!!!!!

the alarm i have now for my coupe has remote start but i did not wire that funtion in. it is cool but cant take the risk!

[Hazwan]

Eek thats what I'm trying to avoid by fabricating some sort of switch so it wont start if the car is not in neutral. I know I never leave my car in gear unless I'm parked on hill but shit happens. I don't trust that.

[2ndGenGuy]

If you figure out a way to make a neutral switch, definitely post that! I'm very interested!

[Dr_Snooz]

Once again, Hazwan raises the bar. You are the MAN!

[A18A]

Haha wouldnt it faster to mash the pedal vs pushing a button lol

And yeah I'll make sure to hook them up properly. That would suck if my throttle get stuck wide open while driving. I might need to call 911

hahahaha

[3gmodifier]

yeah i though about using 4 micro lever action switches mounted to my shifter or shifter link to make it impossible to start in gear but by the time i thought of that, i was ready to sell the car.

[A18A]

i would mount it on the gearbox or something where theres no shifter play

[Hazwan]

I was thinking of something like this: http://www.modifry.com/freebies/old/...tart/index.htm

Shouldn't be that hard to fabricate and should be reliable enough.

I have yet to find the solenoid but I tried cold starting the car after i pumped the gas twice, it started right up so I guess everything should be good lol

[Hazwan]

I screwed around with my carb adjustments and now it starts perfectly in the morning without touching the gas pedal at all Theres no need for that solenoid now yay!

So I fabbed my neutral switch today. Here are some crappy pics from my phone. POS camera died and DO NOT and NEVER EVER buy anything Samsung >.<

Anyway I have reed switch from door sensor for house alarm since gay electronics store didnt have any regular reed switches -_- It is actually harder than it looks since I have to get the alignment just right else it wont trigger properly. I mounted the magnet on the shifter with some brackets I stole from.... an old computer case. I didnt have many pics of it but I'll get some more tomorrow.

Neutral


3rd


4th


It works, car wont start if it wasnt in neutral Yes I know it looks ghetto but its really secure and I probably will redo the bracket for my switch

WOW...thats nice bro

[Tdurr]

hmmmm.....

[89T]

Nice. We use to use door lock motors to pump the gas pedal.
The car starts we use-to use you'd have to program it to manual, while the engine was still running, pull the E-brake, engage the auto start, remove the key shut the car off by remote.

what a pain in the ass. most customers would agree.

I like what you got though, its innovative.

[LX-i]

i really want remote start...lol i want to make it my cruise control button. since the CC doesnt work anyway

[89T]

lol...
wireless remote start, you know from like you'r living room.
