Remote Start Questions

[Devilsfutbol17]

I am about to order the Viper 5901 car alarm with remote start and I had a few questions about setting up the remote start feature.

I want to bypass the "manual transmission mode" that it uses for manual cars for the remote start. I searched and seen that someone has done it, but I wasn't quite sure how it is actually wired up to do so. I see and understand how the clutch switch has to be manipulated with but thats all I have figured out so far.

I always have my turbo timer on and always follow this pattern when parked even if I was sleeping: ebrake->neutral->turn key off and pull out-> shut off turbo timer manually. I do that every time, so leaving the car in gear or without the ebrake on kills my car after the key is pulled which throws me out of wack and I'll realize I'm in gear or without the ebrake on.

I see the thread on how to arm the alarm with the turbo timer on and I believe I understand how it needs to be setup.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-electrical-wiring/332597-wiring-aftermarket-alarm-turbo-timer-together-easy-way-no-cutting-relays.html Thanks

Ive done it, I disconected the clutch safety switch on my car, i wired in the alarm as its supposed to be, Some things such as tach and speed and other various parts of the alarm need to be connected, Its really not hard if you have the diagram to our cars.

I found the installation guide pdf and it looks like I just program the brain into "automatic transmission mode" and wire up the neutral saftey wire to the ebrake. I'm going to read more into the guide and see what else I can figure out.

I have googled and found a couple wire diagrams for a 91 Galant, hopefully they work for the GVR4. Also I ordered the alarm from ebay and they said they would include a wire diagram too, I don't know the accuracy of it though.

i think you can just ground the neutral safety and the tach and all that. let me see if i can find a diagram for you.

 

[Devilsfutbol17]

I was under the impression that you wanted the neutral safety switch to be connected to the ebrake so you can't remote start with the ebrake off.

IDK about that, I cant remember if I wired it to my ebrake or not.

This is what we used on my friends car. 1989-92 Mitsubishi Galant Alarm, Remote Starter, Keyless Entry Wiring Information
He had a different alarm that was designed for manual tranny GALAXY GALAXY 2000RS-2W-1-M Remote Starters (Manual Transmission With One 2-Way LCD Remote andamp; O - Nextag Stores.
It just makes you do a couple thing so you do leave it in gear. hope that helps

I have this same system. I didn't set it up though, a friend did it. I have a manual as well. One neat feature is that he actually did me a favor on is hook up a button so I can enable the remote start that way instead of the remote. So I pull up, car in neutral, pull e-brake, release pedal brake, push button, dash blinks to indicate set, pull key out and car stays running, get out, hit lock on remote and car shuts off. If I do all this with the door open, it activates the turbo timer.

Only issue I have is if I forget something in my car. If I hit unlock and open the door, it deactivates. So I have to remote start, unlock, open door, get stuff, shut door, lock, hit remote start again to shut off.

Yeah I plan on avoiding that routine to set up for the remote start. I know it's a safety concern, but I always use my ebrake and am always in neutral when I park because I always have my tt on. The routine doesn't seem like a hassle, but I just don't feel like dealing with it.

Thanks for the diagram. I have found a few different ones, some that give more info than others and some that have a difference or two.

I have remote start on my Talon. It's a manual and I didn't care if it was a bad Idea, untill I was under the car working on it with the keys in my pocket. I rolled over on the remote and accidentaly activated the remote start. Luckly the remote makes a distinct beeping noise with a couple second delay before it starts. Holly hell I got out from under it sooooo fast!

 

[Devilsfutbol17]

Thats scary. This one comes with a switch that will disable and enable the remote start function. Definitely will disable it when working on the car. I think I also read something about it not starting with just one push of the button, perhaps holding it for a second or pushing it twice, all things that can happen in your pocket I guess.

 

[BIGBLAZE79]

Yea mine you have to hold down the top two buttons for a couple seconds. The bad thing was I put the car in gear with the e-break on out of habit when I work on it. I hadn't had the remote start for more than a month at that time. It tried to start, jerked forward a little but never came off the stands. I had to throw the key in and turn it on quick cause it retrys again if it doesn't start the first time.

Crazy stuff, hope that doesn't happen again.
