Ian W Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 You'll only upset your neighbours with it. maybe that's the plan! sooooo wish i'd had remote start a few weeks ago. went camping and from the tent i could hear people commenting on the Supe outside, just wish i'd have been able to start it from inside the tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 I just think it would be nice to have the cabin cold when it's warm and the heated seats nice and toasty when it's not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_a Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Remote start is fab. Even better if you have an auto, no danger of accidentally starting the car in gear and launching it into a wall! Made people almost fall over sometimes when i used that button and great in winter, car defrosted and ready to drive without even going out. You just have to try and be less smug when you drive past all the people scraping away like mad! m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lui Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I might also be interested in having this done too 1. Who does it 2. Does toad do a upgrade for this to happen 3. how much ?????????? 4. Does doors still stay locked once remote has started your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 I have a fitter chap selected to do mine and emailed him to ask what options were available earlier - if he gets back to me before someone answers us here I'll post up the info The answer to number 4 is yes though as far as I'm aware, the alarm stays activated with the doors locked.

ChrisSZ Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I'd be interested in this too :) I currently have a toad alarm (not a clue what the model is) but would really find a remote start facility (either linked to the alarm or seperate) very useful.

qaisar Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 im not sure it is available on the Ai606 as i think it would no longer have Cat 1 status, but i could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_a Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 4. Does doors still stay locked once remote has started your car Yes locked and alarmed. The clifford one i had didn't allow the car to be revved over 2500rpm either. you need to turn the alarm off, unlock the doors, put the key in ignition and turn it to the regular run position and then press the brake pedal. it would also try three times to start the car in case the first go didn't do it. Check insurance though, a lot of companies don't like remote start apparently. m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradan Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 They are also illegal as i think its illegal to leave an empty car with the engine running(sure i heard that somewhere will check with a m8 whos a copper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 They are also illegal as i think its illegal to leave an empty car with the engine running(sure i heard that somewhere will check with a m8 whos a copper) Only if the car is left on the road, iirc. If it's left in your own driveway/garage then it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Toad do not do these, i tried to get one a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 My remote start doesn't work properly at the mo, the pulse to crank the engine isn't long enough Mr Harwood will hopefully sort that out at TOTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Michael, no, not easily anyway. The Toad system monitors ALL the inputs and outputs of the immobilisation circuits. It can be done with a host of relays and diodes though, but it becomes messy and most dealers won't want to touch it. Martin_a, If you get a Clifford, it has a manual remote start option which means it wont drive itself through a brick wall Chris, Call or PM me if you want to know what model you have Dave, Pop over one day. It only takes about 5 minutes to re-program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz1 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 all i can say is i have just had a clifford 650 with intellistart fitted by matt harwood, and at a price i could not believe compared with the other quotes i had, he done a great job and tidyied a few other things up for me at the same time, and today with the sun out my seats would have been unbearable to sit in, so from my office started her up. knowing it was still locked and secure, air con cooled it right down before i got in, how cool is that, and thanks again matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
