Hi Guys, First post so here goes...simple question.

Just wondering if anyone has fitted remote start to their corolla?

I'm just about to put one on our Sportivo and was wondering if by chance (like on a friends Nissan) there is a position on the gearbox for a neutral switch? Or will I have to go for the rope switch arrangement around the gear stick? :g:

Thanks.

As in remote start using a car alarm. Problem being that when you use remote start you must make sure the trans is in neutral or...... well you know.. I have the alarm but just wondering how others went with the gearbox issue..

On a manual you usually install microswitches on the shifter assembly so the alarm knows when the car's in neutral.

You can also get an immobiliser bypass module so the car's able to start with the key not in/near the igntion.

Thanks for the posts guys. Yeah rollamods that's what i was trying to say with "the rope switch arrangement around the gear stick". I've seen it done several ways but each way is as ugly (to install that is and also agricultural) as the next.... Yeah a bypass module is what I'm using. Still needs the head cut off my spare key and placed in the bypass module to relay the transponder details to the cars original immobiliser.... I'm not doing it for the w@nk factor, rather so that my wife actually warms up the car prior to driving off!!! :rolleyes:

i thought in an auto car, the engine can never start unless you are in P itself, its like programmed in the ECU :help:

+ 1 for auto over manual :clap:

auto's have a neutral start switch in the starting circuit.

The neutral start switch is in the gearbox, and closes it's contacts when the shifter's in P.

I know its an old thread but i searched with no answer .... has anyone installed remote start on the corolla and bypassed key in ignition ?

car is auto so it can't be driven without the key in anyway cause trans is locked in park

PM me if you are worried about details of install ... or have you paid someone to do it... i just don't like the idea of paying $1000 for a new alarm/remote start when i have a brand new PRESTIGE remote start alarm in the box already

Yup installed and using it every day. Love it! :yahoo: . PM me with your number, or with any questions and I'd be happy to help. Have full wiring code and wire colours you will need to connect to (well for the Sportivo anyway...mostly the same). Fairly straight forward but my unit had over 40 wires and if you are wanting to do things properly (run with original loom etc..) it will take several days. Worth it though. Cheers.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
