Hi guys

Bit of an intro and question all rolled into one..

Just picked up my first Stagea last week - an '02 250t RX.

Last car was a ST246 Caldina which someone decided to get an ultra close look at the back of.....

Very pleased with the Stag - got the leather interior, sunroof (s), reverse cam.

It also came with a very funky 90's style mini mobile remote! It has buttons for start/stop, lock/unlock, trunk & check.

I've popped in some new batteries and the remote powers up - doesn't seem to be paired with the car though... The compliance place said they didn't disconnect anything, so not sure why it wouldn't work.

Has anyone come across one of these and knows how to get it working?

Cheers!

Yeah, I got one.

They could have snipped the wires, hopefully not. Get down really low in the drivers footwell. There is a white switch there, flip it.

First up press check. This will flick the car on for half a second and show you the temp inside the car. Make sure all doors and boot are closed. Next, press the start/stop once, it will show the screen, then press it again to start the car. No need to hold down, it will just start. The car will turn off the instant a Door or the boot is opened.

Enjoy.

^ That's an interesting "feature". Why start your car remotely (sort of cool in a party trick kinda way), & then have it turn off as soon as you open the door to get in? I'm guessing it's a safety feature so little kids don't climb in & drive off (or a thief), but you'd normally be close to the car to use this anyway. Just wondering...

i think it was mainly for cold area, where before you got in, you could start the car, warm it and the interior up. It defaults to running for 10mins, and then turns off. you can turn it off too with the remote. Also works on hot days :)

dont want Punks stealing your car!

Thanks PN Mad. Found the switch up under the footwell - mine was black. The lock/unlock function and the check functions work now, but no joy on the start/stop or trunk. When I press the start button it comes up with 00m which is wanting me to input how long to run the car for? Tried mashing a few buttons, but no luck so far. Any ideas?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
