Trek62 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Does anyone know if the factory alarm has a secondary output to trigger a remote start? I want to use the stock remote to trigger the aftermarket remote start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 To be honest I have no idea if it you would be able to using the stocker. Most of those systems come with their own remote system, so it would be a matter of putting a chip in the Scooby remote that fits and works in conjection with the alarm and immobiliser system. Adam.

STG Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 This is great. I can barely keep the doors locked or unlocked with my lousy Subaru hair-trigger remote. You actually want to add remote starting??? Not only would you acidentally unlock your doors, you'd drive through your garage door without being behind the wheel.

ih8vtec13 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 true but with the hair trigger remote. you dont want your mt legacy to plow through baby gap in a strip mall and have to explain that you had an illegal remote start on your mt and thats why all that carnage just happend followed by oops my bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STG Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Besides my AT Legacy I have a Mach1 with a Tremec maual trans. It's equipped with a Clifford alarm WITHOUT remote starting. My friend has an idential Mach1 and his HAS REMOTE STARTING using an aftermarket alarm. It's legal but kind of stupid. Most people park a MT car in gear - that's the danger with remote starters. My friend made it a point to park his MT Mach1 in neutral to avoid accidental starts in gear. So, one night he's visiting a friend's house. His Mustang's alarm goes off. He finds his car at the bottom of the hill (a parked pick up stopped it). Because he was worried about accidently starting in gear, he parked in neutral. He also forgot to turn his wheels towards the curb. He didn't apply the parking brake all the way. Had the car been in gear, it wouldn't have rolled down the hill. I can recommend the Clifford/Viper Responder line of alarms. The remotes are long range and actually recieve info trom the alarm system, confirming locks, unlocks and triggers. The remote start option works well on ATs. Oh, yeah. The Clifford/Viper Responder remote doesn't activate unless you deliberately push the buttons. I may have to put one tin the Legacy because the factory remote is garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 It's quite easy to make a magnetic neutral-only switch so you can have auto start on a manual-trans car with full safety. I've driven nothing but manuals for 15+ years and have never parked in gear; that's what the parking brake is for. I've also never seen the actual wording of any law that mentioned remote starting of a vehicle at all. Usually it's BS line given to customers so a store isn't liable when they don't know how to install it properly into a 5spd car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trek62 Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 My Legacy is an AT. I had a remote start in my MT WRX & had no problems. It wouldn't start if it was in gear. My friend was able to wire up the immobilizer box using the valet key. So far the only problem is that when I lock the car, it chirps 5 times. Now I have to see if I can get it to play downloadble ringtones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppt Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Had a two-way remote starter installed on my 05 OB XT 5MT. Its designed specifically for MT. Has a neutral sensor and hand brake needs to be engaged. Need to go thru very specific sequence otherwise remote start does not work. Its designed this way for safety. The range of this thing freaks me out. Manufacturer is Cdn, ProStart [url]http://206.47.191.115/prostart.nsf/prod-en/CT-3400TW[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/QUOTE] Here Here! I don't understand these people that were taught [i]not[/i] to use the parking brake... ID10Ts.. I've never parked in gear either, and somehow, i get heat for it, too. I'm with you, John. Realistically, you CAN put a remote start on a stick, you just have to be smarter than your components. I also know other folks that have wired in a switched ground dealie for their Turbo Timers so that when ANY of the pedals are touched, or the E-Brake released, the car shuts down to prevent theft while running after boost-ed driving. Do the newer Legs have the same gravity cooling system making a TT just a rice item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try shifting into neutral without the clutch while cruise is set and notice that it goes off. I'm sure someone will figure out why I'm wrong though, GO!

Deer Killer Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 The parking brake can come loose or bind to the rotor when left for a period of time, especially if there is a large temperature swing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTLegs Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 if you do the all door unlock mod located elsewhere in this forum you would have an extra output (hitting unlock twice) to relay to remote start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red98GT Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 But then your car would be unlocked..... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancelotr Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 What if you used the unlock twice sequence for the trunk and used the trunk for remote start. The button is small enough to prevent accidental starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
