Hi Mate, auto starts are suppose to be ilegal or some shit, but i have one, it only works from the button.

My allarm need the car to be in Neutral and hand brake on before it activates. When activated, if the key is not inserted in 15 seconds, or the brake or clutch or gear pressed/selected, without the cey the car shuts off, goes into alarm mode and won't let you start it unitll you desable the impboliser.

It is great for freaking people out. My also has the output to turn a heater on but the R33's don't have a secondary heater input.

The alarm allows up to 8 minuts of preheat time, but i haven't changed this yet.

ALSO if the car is started ad droven away by somone, if they are within range, the alarm will switch the motor off from the key aswell.

It's more wenk factor, but essentially it was there so we made it all work.

you don't mind asking what brand you have and where you got it from???

[DRD-00F]

Pros: FULLI SIK! apparently... Lets you warm your car up while not sitting in it... thats about it...

Cons: Illegal, promotes car theft, is an easy way around your security system...

con: deadly if done wrong.

con: illegal in ALL STATES.

Not sure what brand mine is, and i do agree it is ilegal and if stuffed up, propably bad too, like starting in gear and so forth.

I'm not sure about the easie to get arround part. My alarm has 3 points of imobolisation and 3 poits of auto start, esentially making it 6 poits, as eaven without autostart, all the correct points need to be deactivated to start the car.

paolo,

on auto cars I'm not biased - I WATCHED a MANUAL VEHICLE start and PIN a 5 y/o girl TO A WALL - I have a REASON for stating what I do. I was not responsible for the work on that car but I knew FULL well how it happened. it had a makeshift neutral safety switch that failed - car was IN GEAR and it started.

they are good for warming up or cooling cars off on seasonal times but not much else. I see it as a 'look at me ' thing.

on my mates car he hit the remote start button, car kept on cranking but wouldn't start, we walked over to see what was going on and BANG? it backfired from all the fuel, back out the intake and blew the side out of his custom plenum.

i've also heard of them doing damage to starter motors.

the car cant move when its activated in gear..

it will just stall? Chris?

[Chris Rogers]

depends, on a diesel the car will start and drive off. (mate of mine did this as a joke in an open field with him in the car.)

in the case I saw it was a case of wrong place right time. car moved and pinned the kid!

Hey...........

The only car that will not move is an automatic or a car with a neutral detect switch.

Every other car will start and move or atleast jump then stall

Dont kid yourself..

I thought that it's only allowed to be installed on a automatic car. Unless the law has changed.

[Chris Rogers]

it hasn't. in fact its not legal at all. doesn't stop people from doing it though. one company actually STOPPED selling their units here for that reason alone.

1 track mind?

I thought he just specified it can be DEADLY if not wired in correctly or if there is a malfunction. What pros are you looking for when the damn thing is a potential death trap?

And how do you people think a remote start actually starts the car? Well let a professional explain it to you.

In order to crank and start a vehicle you need to have 12V across the ignition wire, and 12v for a short period around 1-3 seconds on the starter wire. Once you have these two, the starter will turn the engine over, and the ignition will ignite the fuel. CAR STARTS.

Now what makes you think that your car is now not easy to steal? Where do you pick up your ignition and starter points? AFTER YOUR IMMOBILISER, otherwise its not going to work. So you have just given a thief an easy way to HOTWIRE YOUR CAR just by looking at your aftermarket wiring. Your immobiliser and your remotes are now useless. All someone has to do is crank the car start and drive off. Your remote which claims a KM distance has actually just been diminished to 200 metres due to buildings and trees and what not because it work on an FM band.

Dont kid yourself there is no PRO'S to a remote start alarm.
