hey guys,

i've had a 2 way car alarm for just over a year now, for those who don't know what i'm on about, its a system which allows the car to send info back to me, i.e. when my alarm goes off, when doors are open, etc etc... and a function on my system is remote engine start (when i hit a button i can start the engine), but i was told i couldn't install it because of the immobiliser so i just decided not to bother with that part. but what i want to know is, is it true? is it not possible to remote start it?

thanks guys

I recently had an alarm installed with pager capabilities and a 3 point imobiliser. When i asked about remote start and window lift they said it is possible but very difficult, they also told me remote start comprimises security and its not worth it. Maybe with a change of immobiliser it is possible.

so this bypass relay allows me to keep the working immobiliser without compromising security? because it doesn't seem worth it if it's going to make it less secure

with a neutral safety switch and hand brake switch... it will work fine....

I get cheaper insurance through RACQ using remote start.

our current immobiliser imao does not give that the type of security as described anyway.....

juz my 2 cents

Remote start is not legal in manual cars either.

Yup, I think the law is that you can't have a car running without anyone in it. That's why it's illegal. Therefore, turbo timers are illegal.

Yeah there must be an occupant in the car if it is running. I have been told by many alarm specialist that its comprimising safety by having one installed.

That's not really the problem...

The problem is insurance not paying out if you have an accident and they find out.

Also.. should you leave your car in gear and start the car remotely forgetting... well... would make you look like a bit of an idiot. :lol:

if ur car is stolen i think is the main issue with insurance .. they will see that it was stolen and that u had remote start and then shove a pineapple up ur a$$

as they mentioned a bypass relay to work with ur stock immoboliser will do the trick.. i've asked already .. cost another $250-300 to get it working with my viper.. but lots of ppl do not recommend it. Some ppl say it plays around with ur alternator.

      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.

      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.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
