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.

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?

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..

further proves your 1 track minded views on everything in a negative fashion. list some pros.

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.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
